What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“The Centennial Hotel offers a seamless experience from start to finish. Check-in and check-out were incredibly easy and efficient, which is always a plus. The hotel was impeccably clean, making for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. What really stood out, though, was the staff. Everyone we encountered was friendly, helpful, and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. If you're looking for a hassle-free stay with a focus on cleanliness and excellent service, the Centennial Hotel is a great choice.”
“We stayed here Saturday to watch a show at the Cambridge Arts Theater. The room was lovely, clean and quiet and all the staff were very friendly, warm and helpful. The free onsite parking was very handy with plenty of spaces We would definitely stay here again !”
“I stayed at the hotel for an interview. The room was not big, but it felt cozy and warm. It was a bit loud and you could hear the street outside, and also some light spilled inside from the street during the night, but I wasn't bothered by either. The bathroom felt a bit old, but was clean, and the room had a very nice desk. The service itself was pleasant, including over breakfast. The breakfast itself was okay but nothing too amazing, and had it not been included, I would have preferred eating outside. The location was nice and allowed us to go easily to the city centre and back”
