The Walper Hotel, part of JdV by Hyatt
I love the location; it's pretty central. There were area rugs in the room that were filthy to look at. They need to be removed completely or updated. I did request a room with a street view. That was a mistake. It was very loud. On a previous stay, I had a courtyard view which was much quieter.

Comfort Inn Cambridge
Breakfast was good, staff was friendly and helpful, but the hotel did not have an elevator, was not aware of it. Had to carry the luggage upstairs.
