Frommer's "Your fellow guests at this 22-story hotel are likely to be other convention-goers during the week, and sightseers and families on weekends." Full review
Fodor's "Picturesque, Downtown Crossing is not, as it is packed with every conceivable kind of discount store and street vendor, but the area hums with activity." Full review
OysterUpscale
"The 498-room Hyatt Regency is in need of an overhaul -- it's outdated, disorganized, and not well maintained." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The Hyatt offers spacious rooms with modern decor and is located close to the up-and-coming Ladder District, with several fine restaurants and night-time entertainment venues nearby."
Star Service "Set in a dull part of town, two minutes' walk from the Downtown Crossing T station and filling a tall, sharply angled tower, this hotel benefits from Hyatt's adept management skills." Full review
Gayot "Style and subtlety are hallmarks here. A tasteful Waterford chandelier hangs in the stately lobby, and artwork and antiques are displayed discreetly throughout the interiors."
Zagat3.7
"The location of this 22-story chain outpost ("steps from the T and in the heart of Downtown") "makes it a winner" for business travelers and sightseers."
Star Service "In East Boston, this property is the second-best waterfront hotel in the Boston area after the Boston Harbor." Full review

Frommer's "The only sizable lodging close to lively Central Square, this hotel primarily attracts visitors to MIT and the tech-oriented businesses nearby." Full review
Fodor's "Not surprisingly, the hotel is a hub for techie business travelers, but it can also be a bargain for weekend vacationers—there are great off-season rates." Full review
OysterUpper-middle-range
"Contemporary rooms and a great location near Central Square -- right on the edge of the MIT campus -- make this 210-room boutique a solid upper-middle-range option in Cambridge." Full review
Rough Guide "Contemporary hotel anchoring an office tower near MIT."
DK Eyewitness "Sleekly contemporary, it is also handy to the music bars and ethnic restaurants of Cambridge’s Central Square."
Star Service "A brilliant choice for academics and alumni, this hotel, like the graduates it hosts, is one of the brightest options in the market, just four blocks northwest of campus." Full review

Rooms on the eighth floor eyeing the Prudential Building are worth requesting, but avoid odd exposures that look out upon ducts.
Zagat3.7
""Modern, upscale" style distinguishes this Starwood property in Cambridge, with a location "convenient" to the Kendall Square tech and innovation district."
Lonely Planet "In the heart of the MIT campus, this contemporary hotel fuses art, design and science."
Gayot "This unique establishment feels as if it's a showcase for MIT. Artwork, computer programs and other innovative objects by MIT students and alumni are on display and in use throughout."
