A Most Pleasant Stay

Would recommend to a friend!

I arrived early for a 1:00 business lunch, and I was happy to be able to check in at about 12:20.In the evening, after a long ... day of thinking about work, I very much enjoyed talking to the bartender, [...] (I think). His warmth and intelligence were most welcome.

Excellent Location; Comfortable Beds

New student Aug 25, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

We were visiting the school in Cambridge, and found this hotel to be in the prime location, minutes of walk to Harvard ... Square. On top of the excellent location, the beds and linen are top-quality, possibly the most comfortable I've ever experienced in a hotel room. There was also a flat screen LCD TV for leisure. In addition, we were pleasantly surprised by the large size of the room. All in all, if the hotel had free internet, it would've warranted a 5 star rating.

Convenience and Comfort

Would recommend to a friend!

We find this hotel to be extremely comfortable and pleasant. Plus, it's very close to our daughter's graduate school (the ... reason for our trip). However, if we're lucky, we can treat our stay there like a mini-vacation.

Thanks for the Toothpaste!

Beth Jul 5, 2008

Would recommend to a friend!

It was just one night so such a short visit doesn't require much. The room was fine, bed was super comfy, the staff was very ... nice and got some toothpaste for us b/c we had forgotten it! I was a little disappointed that they didn't have soy milk or any milk alternative, though I can't say it was really expected. I'm vegan and used to it, though I was have been extra excited if I could have had cereal with my fruit for breakfast.
