My husband and I had trouble with our reservations, the problem was on my end, users error. We met Calvin at the front desk and I cannot say enough about how wonderful he was. Once we found the issue, Calvin immediately started to find a solution. He was so respectful and kind and I am so grateful to him for helping us in a situation that was totally my fault. He could have turned us away, but instead he chose to help us. Calvin is a star!! We will be coming back to stay here because we had a great experience!

I stayed here the night before a surgery and wasn’t sure what to expect from this hotel since the price was so reasonable. I was completely wowed. Parking was easy, the Front Desk Manager, Calvin, was incredibly welcoming and accommodating, and the hotel is beautiful. The room was spotless, the bed and pillows were comfortable, and the view was gorgeous. I would stay here again and again.

Shout out to Arnold at the front desk. He was great. The ladies at Starbucks were also wonderful. This was situated in the perfect location. The room was ok but the mattress was a little lumpy. Overall though, not bad for 1 night

I can't say enough about Calvin Cherry at the front desk at the Sonesta. I have never been so well taken care of at a hotel. He made us feel like a million bucks and I'll always remember him for making our stay so memorable.

I needed to find a last minute hotel on August 31st into September 1st due to an issue at work. Royal Sonesta was incredibly well priced, immediately confirmed my reservation and had parking on-sight. All that alone had me so happy at the end of a VERY long day (and gearing up for another one the next day). THEN - I get to the concierge. I was met by literally most wonderful gentleman, Calvin. Calvin got me checked in, gave me a cold bottle of water, showed me the beautiful pool, explained all the amenities and was just such a gem. 11/10 stars for Calvin. Inside, the whole building and atmosphere was exactly what I needed! Amazing view overlooking the Charles River. I almost forgot I work in Boston 4 days a week because I was taking photos like a tourist! The room was impeccably cleaned, very well laid out, had fun decor, a fantastic bed & pillows, great shower pressure and even the cutest mini toothpaste! I slept like a baby - no outside noise whatsoever. All in all, amazing experience at the Royal Sonesta Boston/Cambridge. Don't hesitate when you need a good night's rest.
