Air conditioning units can be noisy.
While some guests staying at Hampton Inn Boston/Cambridge enjoy a quiet night's sleep, others report that in-room air conditioning units can be on the noisy side. Light sleepers complain that the noise makes it difficult to sleep at night.

Some traffic noise seeps through.
The hotel is located just off Monsignor O'Brien Highway, a busy road that sees a lot of traffic. Some guests report that the noise from this traffic can seep through into the hotel, making it difficult to relax.

Breakfast doesn't always hit the mark.
The hotel's complimentary hot breakfast goes down well with some guests but is less of a hit with others. One of the chief concerns of those less than enamored by the breakfast is that food is served on plastic plates and with plastic cutlery, a process not in keeping with some of the hotel's other environmentally-friendly strategies.
