The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Boston - Cambridge Area by IHG

Concert Nights Made Easy Between Boston and Cambridge

Modern and well-equipped, the Holiday Inn Boston - Cambridge Area by IHG offers a comfortable stay just off I-93, placing you between the best of both Boston and Cambridge. Only 2 miles from downtown and a short ride on the Green or Orange Line, this hotel is a smart pick for anyone planning to catch a show and explore the city. With a heated indoor pool, a fun sports deck, and free WiFi, it’s a balanced blend of comfort and convenience.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything—and this hotel nails it. Just minutes from TD Garden and other top venues, you can skip the stress of long commutes. Easy access to public transportation makes late-night returns smooth, and the 24-hour fitness center and chill vibe mean you can recharge however you like. Plus, with flexible check-in at 4:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM, there’s some breathing room for early arrivals or late morning exits.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a fun, affordable base near multiple venues
  • Solo travelers chasing a dream concert experience
  • Couples making it a music-filled weekend getaway
  • Fans needing peace and quiet after an energetic night
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want great amenities

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant serves up breakfast—perfect for those mornings after a late show. While there's no 24/7 room service, the hotel’s location puts you close to plenty of eateries at nearby Assembly Row. Vending machines and in-room coffee makers help when hunger hits off-hours.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, you’re minutes from Cambridge and Boston’s thriving nightlife scenes. Whether it’s a post-show drink near TD Garden or a laid-back lounge vibe in Harvard Square, your options are wide open. Want something low-key? The nearby bars and restaurants offer plenty of ways to wind down.

What People Say

Guests love the convenient location and easy access to public transit. Many mention the clean, comfortable rooms and appreciate the friendly staff. The indoor pool and unique sports deck are often highlighted as fun extras, especially for guests staying more than one night.

Areas for Improvement

Parking comes at a fee, which some visitors weren’t expecting. Also, if you're hoping for a lively hotel bar or 24-hour dining, you might find yourself heading out. But with so much nearby, that’s rarely a problem.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers looking for a well-located, comfortable stay with solid amenities and easy access to Boston’s top venues, this hotel hits the right notes.

Very poor

Liked: Location was good. Very near Sullivans Square so can get a lot of buses / trains etc.
Disliked: -mouse at breakfast on our second day. Reported to staff 3 times. On the second time they told us to report it to booking.com as we had paid through the app. No apology given or that it was unacceptable etc.-beds/ rooms were not tidied daily. We had rubbish in our rooms that was not taken out until we asked the cleaning staff and it seemed to be an inconvenience for them. They also did not dress the beds.-some of the “clean” towels had stains on them.

The hotel charged that money witouht saying nothing in advannce, and they only return after the checkout...they day 2 or 3 bussiness days after. I left the hotel today, and now i have to wait for the refund , i hope everething goes well. How can i plan my trip if there is this unpleseant surprises.....

Bad, never again.

Disliked: Receptionist while checking in, she was really unwelcoming and almost given no information at all just gave the key. Bathroom was not clean at all, avoided to have a shower, there was some hair sticked on the mirror. There was some stains within the toilet and on its cover. Tv wasn't working, hvac was giving a terrible odor. Paid breakfast was so limited and you have to ask even for juice or water, they werent placed on the buffet. Unfortunately, the server was unwelcoming too.

Bad

Liked: The hotel caught fire and we had to be evacuated in a haste and without proper planning. I was made to stand in the biting cold and the hotel did not even offer me any compensation. In fact the hotel has not yet refunded my deposit till date.

Natasha Thu, 2 January 2025

Good

Liked: I liked the ease of where we stay given who only needed it for the night for NYE and only had less than 10 min drive to the casino. The room was a LOT bigger than what we were expecting.
Disliked: It was kind of run down but that was expected for the price.
