Boston Marathon
Stayed in the hotel for Boston Marathon weekend. Everything was great and the staff was friendly and helpfull. The location close to the T made getting around the city very easy. Next time I'd stay another day to enjoy the hotel after the race.

I never knew I could like leopard print
Leopard print -- I'm not usually a fan, but it works in this hotel (seriously). The decor is definitely different, but it fits the personality of this hotel and makes it interesting. Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Hotel restaurant is good. Within walking distance of some great places to eat (try the Hungry Mother and Friendly Toast in Kendall Square and East by Northeast on Cambridge St.). We walked in to Boston fairly easily.

Great location and price!
[...] The hotel was close to the subway and other local attractions. It was very clean, quiet, and comfortable. We would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Boston area.

Use Boston's incredible subway system. We were able to travel anywhere in the city and take in all the sites for a small charge. Buy the 7 day pass if you are going to be there for a few days.

Amazing Value, Incredible Stay.
It was very hard to find as mapquest and our phone's navigation GPS program told us to go the wrong with the address that was given to us by the hotel's website. I don't know where the mistake was but it made for a tense ride there, but once we were there it was amazing. The location itself, albeit hard to find, is amazing in and of itself. Direct connection to a mall, right near the Lechmere subway station and an easy commute into Boston. AMAZING. Huge plasma High definition television. The bed was so incredibly comfortable. The mall that was connected to the hotel was very nice, and the room service food was delicious. The service was very nice and prompt, check-in and check-out only took about 2 minutes combined. GREAT GREAT GREAT.

Comfortable stay
Good restaurant. Nice staff. Comfortable rooms. Quiet but not perfectly sound proof. Housekeeping stays away with the DND card on the knob. Parking is convenient. The hotel has a nice free wine tasting every night at 5pm. If you're driving and don't know Boston, it can be a bit tricky to find but the science museum is a helpful landmark. Mall next door is helpful for any toiletries or forgotten items or quick gifts if needed.

You can get to the mall by walking through the adjacent parking garage. Very easy and very close.
