Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were nice and clean with lovely views of the bridge, and the location was fantastic, especially with a large mall attached. The service was top-notch, everyone was helpful at every turn. Although the dining options were limited, the delicious poached eggs made up for it. The hotel is a bit of a walk from downtown Boston, but it's worth it for the proximity to MIT and Harvard.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms, although lacking a view, were large and extremely comfortable, offering a nice break from the typical corporate style. However, housekeeping could be improved, and some rooms felt dated and ill-functioning. The service was accommodating to all our requests, especially thanks to Rodrigo the bartender, but it could be inconsistent at times. The location is wonderful next to the Charles river and ideal for exploring Cambridge and Boston, but you may need a car for convenience. The dining experience was good with delicious options, but the total cost could add up. The facilities were satisfactory, offering various amenities for a comfortable stay.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were beautiful and nice, offering a lovely view of the bridge. The bed was extremely comfortable, making me feel well-rested throughout my stay. However, the price was a bit on the higher side.
