Doubletree Guest Suites

Frommer's Review

This hotel is one of the best deals in town -- every unit is a two-room suite with a living room, bedroom, and bathroom. Business travelers can entertain in their rooms, and families can spread out, making this a good choice for both. Overlooking the Charles River at the Allston/Cambridge exit of Mass. Pike, the hotel is near Cambridge and the riverfront bike-and-jogging path, but not in an actual neighborhood. Shuttle service to local destinations makes the location easier to handle.

The suites, which were renovated in early 2006, surround a 15-story atrium. Rooms are large and attractively furnished, and most bedrooms have a king-size bed (some have two oversize twins) and a writing desk. Each living room contains a full-size sofa bed, a dining table, and a good-size refrigerator. The Hyatt Regency Cambridge, the hotel's nearest rival, is slightly more convenient than the Doubletree but generally more expensive.

Facilities:Restaurant (American); lounge; excellent Scullers Jazz Club; indoor pool; exercise room; free access to nearby health club; Jacuzzi; sauna; concierge; shuttle service to Cambridge and downtown Boston; 24-hr. business center; room service until 3am; coin-op laundry; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning; rooms for those w/limited mobility
