Terrible hotel, terrible staff. We found a dead cockroach in our room, which smelled musty and unclean. Also, they wanted to charge us $12 a night for parking and refused to give us a smoking room. We had to fight to get our money back. We saved money by staying at the Holiday Inn, which was clean and had a... more

We stayed here just for two nights on the start of our around-the-world tour for some months, so it served our purpose for a very brief stop in Boston. With hindsight an extra day or two might have been better to do everything justice. The hotel is located very close to some handy shops, but close to the main road... more

The Best Western Tria in Cambridge, MA has a noticeable odor upon entering the lobby and elevator. Female front desk staff were not personable or pleasant at all. They were not welcoming and acted as if they really could care less if they could be of some help to you, they were not accomodating. Robes in the room were advertised... more

Clean rooms, comfortable beds, nice pool, a very professional and friendly staff, very good Continental Breakfast. Complimentary shuttle and WiFi. Convenient to Harvard Square and the T. A shopping center with Whole Foods and a movie theater right around the corner. A Starbucks next door. Very inexpensive for the area. A supurb value! more

The hotel is okay, just okay. There are some cleanliness problems: the very small pool needs a good scrubbing and I found a HUGE dead cockroach in my closet. Obviously it had not been vacuumed and obviously there may be a roach issue. The hotel also nickels and dimes you--makes you pay $12 a night for parking when the lot... more

I stayed at this trip for one night on a recent visit to Boston. I selected it based on the recommendation of a friend who lived near by and who said that it had recently been redecorated. First the good news. The Tria is a nice, comfortable and clean hotel. My room was large, the bed was very comfortable and... more

We stayed at the Hotel Tria last night. I had read the previous reviews and was not excited about our stay after hearing of everyone's troubles. The clerks at the check-in were pleasant. Parking was $12 a night, which is not unreasonable for the area. Our room was clean and we heard no noise from outside. The "hand-milled soap" advertised... more

I stayed at the Tria Hotel with my daughter while moving her into Tufts University. I spent two nights at the Tria and then moved to the Hyatt in Medford for the last night. while the Tria was fine, I would definitely try to stay at the Hyatt if possible (larger, newer, pleasanter rooms and a better rate for Tufts... more

I selected this hotel because of the "close" proximity to the T and the fact that the price was reasonable. I knew when I checked in that I was not going to be estatic. The hotel advertises special soaps and I had to pick my soap from a sample box of three and was given a square, thin glycerine soap.... more

Stayed in April 2007. While overall this hotel is adequate and, in fact has some upscale, interesting points (designer soap, plush bathrobes), I was taken aback to learn that it was going to cost me an additional $12 per night to park in an unsecured surface lot outside the hotel and that the continental breakfast that is generally complimentary in... more
