Museum of Science trip
Staff is extra friendly - sometimes seemed a little forced in the friendliness. Hotel was comfortable, really appreciated the robes to use. Very well stocked and accomodated rooms. Good size, clean. Easy walk to Cambridge Galleria for shopping and dinner, Museum of Science right across the street. Really appreciated the call from room service to warn that delivery was within the next couple of minutes. The only down side was on the morning of check out (which is posted for noon) was that starting at 8:30 a.m. housekeeping knocked on the door about every 20 minutes.

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.

Great hotel!
My adult daughter and I met in Boston for a girls getaway weekend and this hotel was perfect! From the location, to the Galleria next door to the wine happy hour and the great staff! The concierge lived in the north end and suggested a great Italian restaurant along with some wonderful shops for coffee and dried meats. We had a wonderful time!
