An impressive collection of modern art, displayed throughout the hotel, sleek, updated rooms, and a friendly, professional staff make this Cambridge riverfront property a bit of a surprise. Its location next to the Museum of Science and Galleria shopping center and an attractive indoor-outdoor pool add to its appeal. Some rooms have superb views of Beacon Hill and the Boston skyline. Guest rooms are done in neutral earth tones, with modern amenities such as flat-screen TVs, gaming consoles, Wi-Fi, and CD clock radios. The hotel has family suites and great packages. Pros: kids feel welcome here, easy to drive to and parking is on-site (fee), nice pool, certified green hotel. Cons: a bit sterile.
