While the hotel, aesthetically, is very beautiful that’s where the positives endsThe EV charging station is nonfunctional and has been for months: they have no intentions of repairing it either They’re still fine with charging you $15 for parking however

Classy Check-in was at 3 and only one room was ready, forcing myself and my guests to move around our plans to accommodateWhile I previously have had nothing but overwhelmingly positive experiences staying at Homewood Suites this experience was far from that 5 star hotel, with 1 star service

Varrun Phanda

Clean hotel and roomsGood amenities – Free breakfast, Gym, swimming pool, PAID parking($15)Breakfast is really nice with good options for vegetarians as well – Veggie patty, Breads, Bagels, Oatmeal, Oats, Juices, Fruits, Coffee etcCons: Location is isolated and not good for nights And location not that good for travelling to downtown or other Boston tourist places The station is little far – you have to park your car at station or take uber

Nicole Aljets

Booked this hotel online for an overnight stay in Boston Front desk staff very rude and inconsiderate We turned around and walked back out and booked our stay somewhere else

We have stayed in Hilton’s for years and this was by far one of the worst experiences we’ve had Looking at other reviews, I see we’re not alone Two pieces of advice: #1 Don’t stay here #2 If you do stay here and have a bad experience, definitely take the time to let Hilton corporate know what a horrible representation this place is of the Hilton brand

I was quite disappointed with my experience Rude desk clerks, broken elevators, too expensive breakfast buffet ($1499) that would have been just okay if it was complementary

I was shocked to find out only when I arrived that they charge $20 per car per night on top of your room charge just to park at the hotel Our keycards barely worked in any of the card readers and required up to 10 swipes in the elevator before it worked We saw this with multiple guests, and it became a joke when multiple people were in the same elevator car, with everyone trying their own cards before we found one that worked The card slot for our room was only marginally better It was an issue with everyone, and the front desk never mentioned it was an issue Bed was comfortable but only had a paper thin blanket sandwiched between two sheets That’s a sheet on top of the blanket; it was odd There’s a massive construction project directly across the street that was very noisy but not nearly as noisy as the typhoon of a heater in the room Even with earplugs, my wife and I awoke several times There were also strangely zero pamphlets, menus, local guides, TV guides, hotel amenities/directories, or even a Bible in the room I won’t stay here again

Jennifer Kivi

Good location but VERY noisy and small bed!! The location is great and not far from downtown Boston The lobby was nice looking and check in was easy The “king suite” we had booked had a full-sized bed (not the relaxing accommodation one hopes for)

It was very easy to hear hallway noise and people in other rooms Additionally, they had large truck deliveries occur around midnight 2 nights we were there, which led to very loud banging as they moved large items on/off the truck

Kristen

I am a travel nurse and stayed here for an extended stay I had an amazing experience! The front desk workers were always welcoming and helpful (especially with helping me find a subway route to my hospital) Cleaning service always did a wonderful job and the man who works at the buffet/dinner was always so friendly to everybody who came in!

My best friend and I stayed here to go on a quick little trip Every staff member we encountered was wonderful and very kind The location of the hotel is very convenient near a lot of things to do

Room service dinner and breakfast was excellent! We didn’t get to explore a ton of the hotel as our stay was short, but the lobby was comfortable and it also had a lobby bar The entrance to the restaurant was also convenient, the doors were right next to the entrance to the hotelMy only complaint is how the walls in this hotel are pretty thin and the bed was just standard The pillows were way too soft for my liking (even with two) but overall very comfortableThis hotel isn’t one I’d usually stay at since it is more on the pricey side, but our relaxing stay was definitely very worth it

Matt Devine

Incredible Marathon Experience! The hotel went above and beyond to make my Boston Marathon experience unforgettable and extremely comfortable The location is great, just around the corner from the marathon bus pickup and multiple T stations The staff were universally welcoming and went above and beyond to accommodate runners and spectators with coffee, fruit, and sports drinks the morning of the race

Plus they were kind enough to surprise the runners with a little check in bag, and better yet a finishing plaque upon completing the race and returning to the hotel A special day was made even more special thanks to this hotel team!

Y Liu

Amazing location! We stayed in two executive one-bedroom suites The rooms were big and they had two bathrooms each The lobby is classy and more modern than many other Ritz’s on the each coast

What was severely lacking was the service It was definitely under staffed During our 48 hour visit, the entrance door was only opened for us once No potter was greeting us and took our luggage as we got out of the car, even though we were the only car at the front Room service was shockingly sloppy! My son built a “fort” with the sofa cushions the night before It was left untouched the next day My toiletries and the blow dryer were scattered on the counter I had to call for the bath robes because they were not provided the first night Only one of the two suites we reserved had refreshments and a welcome note for us

Brian Watson

Good price and good location, but the rooms let sound in very easily There was a group of rambunctious highschoolers nextdoor to me After ruining my sleep the night before, I checked out a night early since I needed to sleep

I was verbally told that the hotel would be giving me a refund for the 3rd night, but then later told by email they weren’t because it had been a ‘Buy 2, Get 1 Night free’ deal so the 3rd night was free and they didn’t owe me any refundeven though this hadn’t been made clear anywhere

What a delightful hotel! The history, the ambience, the attentive staff! We stayed here on a chilly January night, had a wonderful room overlooking the courtyard and the Charles We were lucky enough to enjoy some blues in the main lobby These were the only blues we experienced 😉

The only thing that was amiss, were the bathrobes I am sure this was just due to covidMake sure to check out the channel on your television in your room, about the history of the hotelThank you for a fantastic time! See you again!

Krista Skrtic

I absolutely love staying at the Liberty! I just stayed for the second time and there is nothing like the welcome committee out front and coming up that escalator!! I told the other people in my group that riding up the escalator gives me such joy!Every interaction I’ve had there has been wonderful Check in with champagne, the bartenders and serving staff, the food and wine, coming down for a cup of coffee in the morning…All SO lovely!And the rooms! So cool and cozy at the same time

Comfy bed, dark, and mostly quiet 🙂 Also, was so pleased to see Molton Brown bath products! And glad that the shower items are in bulk but also sad I couldn’t take them home!!Seriously, I really really love staying there I will definitely be back!

Paula Jaros

We were given a gift certificate for this hotel Its in a great location Lots of places to walk to from here

Where else are you greeted with a glass of proseco upon walking in The history is amazing as wellThe hotel has a very fun atmosphere and at night you don’t even need to go anywhere they have entertainment in the lobbyThe staff is really great as well We stored out luggage because we got there early and let them know when we wanted it sent up to our room Would def stay here again The bed was super comfy as was our room

As an ex-consultant in my past life I’ve been loyal to the Marriott brands and have stayed at various Marriott properties This is a standout property and one of the top W locations in my opinion Jonathan helped check me into my room and I was so lucky to get to check in early after my red eye flight

The shower was extremely high pressure which felt amazing Whenever I needed something, it was delivered to my room promptly They are also offering breakfast credit at their restaurant for Platinum or higher members I really felt like my status was valued and would stay again on future travels to Boston

Sean Hunter

Great clean and modern rooms Mini bar on point The bed was really comfortable

Obviously that can be subjective but in my experience It was comfortable to me Bathroom was very clean and had a separate toilet room which is welcomeService was quick and prompt at valetThe lounge was excellent Posh and modern

Marcus Lewis

Exceptional! The W Boston is a wonderfully clean and friendly hotel located near Boston Common I was welcomed as an Ambassador Elite member and given a wonderful welcome gift The front desk staff is friendly and the bartenders are amazing! The restaurant is good but food quality could be improved a bit

The rooms are beautiful! The MOMO bath products are wonderful and the robes are comfortable I really enjoyed my stay and look forward to my return

Patsy McGaughy

We had an excellent stay The room was clean and well-appointed The breakfast was substantial and there was a lot of variety on offer

But most of all, the staff was the BEST! We were staying after my husband had a medical procedure at Mass General and everyone was kind, compassionate, helpful and very friendly What a pleasure, especially in these times of often less-than-stellar customer service, to be treated so well From the front desk staff to the breakfast crew to housekeeping, we had nothing but exceptional service And everyone was so friendly and always smiling!

Larry Becker

We reserved a mobility accessible room because my wife uses a wheelchair – we were in town for a visit to nearby Mass General hospital The room we were given had multiple issues that presented hazards for my wife We reported both issues promptly to the front desk and in both cases the hotel failed to resolve them

I do not recommend this hotel for people with disabilities Here are the details Although the room did in fact have a mobility accessible bathroom as advertised, it was on the right side of a very narrow hallway that was partially obstructed by a large piece of furniture containing the microwave and refrigeratorBecause this piece of furniture protruded into the narrow passageway to the bathroom it was difficult for my wife to maneuver through it without banging her hands This is a common hazard for people with wheelchairs and one the hotel should be aware of if they are truly ADA compliantWhen I noticed this upon arrival, I immediately called the front desk and said there was a heavy piece of furniture that was preventing safe wheelchair access and I asked someone to simply help me move itSomeone from engineering arrived , entered the room without wearing a mask, looked around and did not seem to know what to do I asked that, because we are in the midst of a pandemic, they return with a mask and then we could move the furniture together The person left to go find a mask Time passed I eventually received a call from the front desk saying the furniture was too heavy to move By that time, I had already moved it myself It was not that heavyThe required grab bar to the left of the toilet looked more like a towel bar than an ADA approved grab bar Sure enough, when my wife who is of average height and weight leaned on it when rising from the toilet it immediately loosened from the wall! We reported this to the front desk told them when we would be out of the room so they could fix it 24 hours later, upon check out the bar was still not fixedBesides these hazardous experiences for a person with disabilities the hotel was simply mediocre But it was the hazards that will prevent us from returning, and prevent us from recommending it for anyone with a disability This is not our first experience with Marriott playing fast and loose with ADA requirements, which is very disappointing from an established and powerful brand

Vijay Budhan

Nice hotel It had a microwave which was nice Hotel was nice clean entry new

Small parking lot for $40 a day(Aug 2022) Only a 13 min walk for museum of science, and 10 minute drive from Quincy Market and Fennel Hall Right next to the Green subway line which is a five 5 walk Good compromise if your looking to pay a little less rather than staying downtown

The location can’t be beat Close to the T to go straight into Cambridge and close to the reserve and minuteman trail One direction city, one direction choice suburban green life

Rooms have everything you need Self serve laundry on site Gorgeous park directly across the street Friendly staff Sound Carries but they give you white noise machines Bar has a moderate social scene Gym on site and blue bikes right around the corner Cute cafe an 7 minute walk 18 mi Ute walk to Whole Foods and essentials I love this spot!

Drew Acoff

The location was dope and the service was great, however the hotel was clearly designed in the least functional way possibleThe bathroom door is translucent, unlockable, and not even slightly soundproof The toilet is square for some reason (the human butt is round, square seats = pain)

There is one microwave per floor, next to the “hydration station” which was an ice machine and water machine, both lacking cups The TV was very slow to respond to the remote (it took 5+ seconds to react to each button click) Breakfast is not complementary and the pool is the size of a hot tubOverall it felt like the hotel itself was putting on the facade of a luxury experience but I feel like I was in a cheap motel

radja sharma

Really disappointing! Room service every 4 days!!!!Marriott as a brand is going down the drain!As titanium bonvoy no upgrades ever No room service Might aswell stay in a ghetto!Room shortchanged

Power points don’t work! Lamps without bulbs…wow it’s Marriott new standards!

The Staff went above and beyond to make our stay super comfortable and so enjoyable The location is Ideal … Allowing you the best of the gardens right outside your door, historic sites, restaurants and waterfront is a short walk through the gardens and the city shopping & restaurants is a short walk in the other direction

The room was fabulous as was the cozy bar area and workout room was bright, super clean and great equipment all in top shape I’ve stayed in Boston many times… there is NO where Better to stay!!!

Wow What a stay! Everyone working here is super helpful and friendly I just got off the phone with the gentleman with the Austrian (I think) accent to get my receipt emailed

it was in my inbox before I could load the page What an absolute unit I remember him being extremely friendly to some guests that came into town to see a baseball game tooThe property is nice and the rooms are clean, modern and comfy The fitness center is really solid and open 24/7 to stay fit on the go The location is really good and a short walk from most anything you need – particularly good Chinese food in Chinatown Can’t give this hotel and the staff enough stars

Elizabeth Kensicki

I booked the “work from anywhere” package rate at this hotel The entire staff operates at a super high customer service caliber The entire staff (Valet, front desk and the restaurant employees) are all fully invested in your great guest experience

I was very well taken care of while getting a great value for nearly 2 days in this hotel I will book this package again and I will prioritize this property I used to only look at the Back Bay Marriott options and this South End foray taught me a new neighborhood! All my thanks to the hard working, kind and dedicated crew at this AC Thank you

Rebecca “Becky” Hammond

I absolutely love this place!! Pristine cleanliness, room size is great, bathroom is always a fav with the awesome large raining showerhead and the staff is always so friendly and helpful The entrance is in an odd spot right off the highway along with valet parking at the same door, regular parking you have to cross the small street they parked the valet cars on so awkward if you are not using valet service however that ever so helpful employees make up for it 😃🧳

Stayed here for two nights and it was the best hotel experience I have ever had AC in my room worked great, and my bed was so comfortable that I bought a new mattress when I got homeI enjoyed the rainfall shower head, but it could have used a little more water pressure for my taste

The person in the room above me on my first night had heavy feet and I could hear them stomping around before I fell asleep and again in the morningThe breakfast is a little pricey at $19, but there is a great assortment of pastries, high quality deli meats, cheeses, Nutella, jellies, fresh fruit, egg dishes, cooked to order eggs and more The staff was absolutely wonderful and I felt pampered I was offered seconds on my eggs, coffee to take with me, and even a pastry or fruit for my drive on my last morning thereIt was nice to not have to leave the hotel for breakfast My only complaint is that the coffee is strong AF! I asked and was told it was StarbucksIf I need to stay in the North Boston area again, I will definitely stay at this hotel

John

Arrived at a late night and front desk was quite cold and couldn’t bother to speak at all No explanation of the breakfast time, no explanation of the parking rules and the fact that they would validate the ticket for you if you park in the parking structure in front of them( not until I asked) She was on a personal call while she was checking me in and she assigned me a accessible room

This particular room was pretty used and not very easy to use ( water will spill to the floor of the bathroom as an example) Room was not very clean as well Room was on lower floor close to traffic side, the background noise was pretty loud in this room I asked for another room the second morning with another front desk, and it turned out there were plenty of rooms left and she found another regular one for me very quickly It was in the other side of the building so not as loud, and it was not ADA room and was very clean So here is the question: I did not ask for an ADA room or have put it anywhere in my reservation, why was I assigned to that room the first time? I hope this was not intentional And if not, make sure your room selection system, whether manual or not, can avoid this type of mistakes in the future I would not leave this comment here if it was not a branded hotel like Marriott, one would assume the personnels are more professional I would give this hotel a 5 star if not the experience I had during check in and first night of stay

Allison Morgan

Really clean, sleek and modern looking hotel Thoughtfully designed in terms of outlets, small seating area in room, etc Location is great

Staff friendlyDownsides: you could hear noise from other rooms and planes overhead in the AM Coffee supplies in room were lackingOverall would stay here again Great value for a really nice room

Encore is a beautiful establishment and a great destination for a day, night or a weekend stay The rooms are very modern and aesthetically pleasing but they are a little small The suites have the same issue but they surely have an incredible view

The staff is great in some areas such as the wait staff, cleaning and customer care but the staff on the floor could use more training in customer service and hospitality You will find most table games to be full on a Friday or Saturday but on any other day you can find a seat at most tables I recommend the high roller area depending on how you play The slots are definitely top of the line and a lot of fun (if you’re one of those people who just loves throwing $100 bills in the trash) with a wide variety to choose from Dining is definitely a 5 star experience All of the restaurants are large portions and priced fairly for a casino There aren’t a ton of amenities like Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun such as pools and steam rooms go but they do have a very well trained massage and spa staff which can be great after a long run I would recommend planning out your stay rather than just going with no reservation Overall I give Encore 4 stars out of 5 and besides a few very small things, closer to a 45 I hope you enjoy your day, night or stay here as much as I do

This casino is absolutely gorgeous! I’ve been to many casinos all over the country and in my eyes this easily compares to the best of themI only visited for a few hours, but was impressed with the size, layout and offerings found here Lots of table games (they were packed so the limits were a bit high for me) tons of slots, a sports book and bar and several restaurants from quick service to fine dining

Parking was free (apparently that was a point of contention for a while?) and plentiful in the garage below the casino with elevators straight to the casino It was refreshing to be in a non-smoking casino—that was a first for meService seemed to be easy to find, though I don’t drink so I didn’t need a server for anything I did see them walking by quite a bit, and several asked if I needed anythingNow I did get the luckiest I’ve ever been in my life with slots–which is not the norm by any means, so it helps that I left way up, but as always I started with a budget If you’re going to gamble be smart, plan on losing and never gamble more than you can afford to lose Have fun! Should be easy in such a nice place!

The rooms are just incredible Luxury, luxury, luxury Everything is high quality, smart-connected, clean, comfortable

The bathroom is enormous, especially the soaking tub The bed I didn’t want to go back to my own bed after sleeping on that thing Best night of sleep I’ve had in months This was my second stay and we opted to spend an extra $40 for a harbor view and it was 100% worth it Watching the sun set over the city and the water is magical Service is fantastic, though of course the minibar and room service are very expensive But there’s a free water taxi that can take you downtown!Even if you aren’t a gambler and don’t care for the casino, check out the hotel It’s wonderful

Overall, comfortable beds and a clean room I liked that the rooms can accommodate a bigger family and the location was walking distance to the car rental place Parking at the hotel is $60 night valet only (no other options) so plan your car rental around that

Breakfast was so elaborate I questioned if it was free- it was! It was amazing for everyone but me I have an egg allergy and like most hotels, not much was labeled But there were a few items that were clearly safe so I was able to eatThe elevators are pretty busy so expect to wait a bit

Mariam Yak

Great hotel near the airport – stayed here the night before my wedding and staff was so friendly, even let me use their kitchen for my cheese platter Starbucks downstairs is a big plus and so convenient! I stayed in the Executive Suite and it was lovely – big dining area which was perfect for hair and makeup, and a separate bedroom was great for privacy Loved the natural l light and big windows

Only minus was the $60 Valet parking with no option for self parking That was a big detraction from the experience but overall no complaints about the service and room!

I traveled to Boston for the first time 5/12 /22- 5/16/22 This was a very nice hotel First of all, the location was great – close to the airport and Transit station

Additionally, the hotel provides shuttle service to the airport AND Transit stationSecondly, the FREE, daily breakfast was great! The variety of food offered was restaurant quality – we ate breakfast everyday! (The afternoon happy hour was not worth it)Thirdly, the hotel staff were great – we had no issues at allFourthly, they do have WC accessible shuttles but 2 were not working so make sure they send a working one to pick you up (You’d think this is a no-brainer but on two different occasions, I had to wait for them to return w/a working WC accessible shuttle)Things to consider: Valet parking ONLY at this hotel @ $60/dayYou must request for your room to be cleaned dailythey don’t automatically provide this service

Love coming here and seeing a lot familiar faces Sitting at the bar is one of the ways to treat myself and my friends The menu is always fantastic and the service is always above and beyond

This place has something so special going: class, uniqueness and love for what real hospitality should be I visit sometimes just to get inspiration Thank you and keep being special!

Chris Holding

I’ve been staying at this hotel for years this is my first time back since covidThey have done away with conciergeThey can no longer get doctors to the hotel, every other four seasons I stay at as a house doctor and conciergeThe irons are appalling, so cheap used to be good

Breakfast room now on the 2nd floor same view yet much smaller If you are on a table of 2 you have to sit on a tiny table in a small bar The chairs in the breakfast room are ikea like moulded uncomfortable chairsRooms as always are fantastic and housekeeping staff are exceptionalRoom service the only word to describe it is ‘overpriced shite’Cheap poor coffee shop on the first floorThey have thee most American thing ever a glass door called the vault… full of free candy and chips something more accustomed to a Marriott rewards customerNot the standard it used to be by a country mile Great location and facilities the health club is still fantastic The prices if anything have gone up yet the services have gone drastically downhill

Sam Faden

I have stayed here many times pre-Covid and cannot say one bad thing about this FS location From the ambiance, to the charm, to the service, and comfort, I always feel at home The fresh arrangement of flowers in the lobby that are refreshed quite frequently are a great bonus too

I recently had to cancel a reservation I booked due to circumstances out of my control and used the new texting feature which was seamless from start to finish Thank you, Lucas, behind the texts, for your swift responses and extraordinary help I cannot wait to rebook very soon

We really enjoyed the Bricco Suites experience Instead of a hotel in Boston’s Italian North End, this is an intimate place to stay with more space than you might imagine While the staff was a little new at checking people into a hotel room (they were more used to serving people in their restaurant below) they were charming and kind

If you’re looking for a place deep in the heart of Boston mear the action, this is an unusual option that feels more like an Airbnb than a hotel It’s got a lot of space, a little kitchen, a dining room and a fireplace The downside it’s overlooking Hanover Street and it has a thumping restaurant and music bar down below So noise can be an issue up until the wee hours I give it an A for location And an A- for experience

Christopher B

I will start by saying that the rooms themselves look really good and the service from staff was great However, check in is inside the incredibly busy Bricco restaurant so we were queued in a narrow hallway waiting to get into a cramped restaurant to get room keys for about ten minutes with our bags As for the room, everything was good until it was late and the other guests arrived

All late night and early morning long we could hear the upstairs guests stomping back and forth This was on top of the fact that we were placed directly next to an alleyway that was super busy in the early morning – people throwing out trash in the dumpsters, trucks backing up and then getting loaded, and lots of people working loudly It was the worst sleep I ever had at a hotel

Adam S

Nice rooms Would stay again Not a traditional check-in, hotel operates via the restaurant, down an adjacent alley to the rooms

Adjacent to the pasta and bread places that make the stuff for the restaurantNo parkingAlong the Freedom trail for a walk-In the heart of the Italian district, close to the old Irish pubs-Walkable to the Bruins/Celtics

We had our daughter’s wedding at the Row Hotel 2 weeks ago and they made our wedding a perfect day! They took care of all our needs to the finest detail! The food was so delicious Everyone was coming up to us and saying what a wonderful hotel it was You could cut the filet with a fork, so tender and juicy! The waiters were always available if we needed something during and after the meals, they were right there with our requests

The rooms were spotless, and the staff working at the lobby desk were extremely polite and very helpful The Row is only 7 miles from Logan and we had guests coming from Australia, Ireland and Canada So it was a quick drive from Boston! The whole area is so convenient and has so much to offer the guests The entire staff from the valet to waitresses in the restaurant downstairs for breakfast were very tuned into everything we needed THANK YOU ROW HOTEL FOR GIVING US A WEDDING WEEKEND WE WILL NEVER FORGET! A special thanks to Marissa, our wedding coordinator for doing an A+ job! We loved your hotel!!!!!

Dhanu Thiyag Ranjit

Our wedding at the Row Hotel was the best choice that we made! The hotel is modern and gorgeous, but more importantly, Marissa made the event planning fun and smooth! She was always so kind and supportive no matter what changes we wanted made She responded quickly and kept everything super organized! The Row ensured all dietary and taste restrictions were accommodated safely Marissa provided one-on-one care the week of the wedding taking care of even the small things like getting us up to our suite and the big things like making the decorations look better than we even envisioned! Marissa and her team were there throughout the event to ensure everything went smoothly and helped afterwards to even clean

We could not have picked a better venue to make our event perfect! Thank you!

This hotel isn’t worth the price tag My wife booked me a stay as a “mom’s night out” treat – it was my first and only night I’ve ever been away from my son so it was supposed to be a relaxing break for me She specifically reserved their room with the nice teacup bath tub

The tub is nice, very big and deep, but the water doesn’t get very hot – pretty much just lukewarm, like pool water They say they have a pantry on the second floor with “seasonal snacks” – it’s a shelf with jars of mints The hotel does not offer room service, which is odd The manager claims they offer room service for breakfast, but this contradicts what I was told during my stay and there is no menu or any information in the room to suggest they offer this My room had an adjoining door with another and the guests next door were a family with a baby Can’t fault them at all, but the walls must be insanely thin because I could hear them all night You’d think they’d do some more soundproofing I ordered a burger from the hotel restaurant to bring back to my room, it was one of only 5 menu offerings on what they said was an altered menu due to the storm – though no prior mention of reduction of hotel offerings was given before my stay or else I might have had the option to change my reservation After almost hour I hadn’t heard back about my dinner order, and no one mentioned an extended wait when I ordered, so I went down to the lobby, they were able to get my order after another bit of waiting, but the burger wasn’t well done as ordered The room itself was just fine They offer a bathrobe but no slippers The best part of the stay was probably the breakfast buffet, which was nice and the staff member managing it that morning offered excellent service If I had spent $100-$200 for the room I would’ve thought it was a fine deal But for the hefty price (nearing $500) you expect something higher quality It was a disappointing night away, and left me wishing I’d stayed home

We visited Boston for a family reunion and received a very reasonable block group rate on the suites Excellent location, close to public transportation, and the staff were super friendly and accomodating The Gym is clean and has the equipment I wanted

There is a Wednesday social with appetizers in the dining area Beautiful outdoor patio with a grill to relax with family and/or friends Breakfast is good, free parking and a restaurant a few steps away The suites are spacious and clean Had a wonderful stay Will not hesitate to stay here again

Mary Lee & Troy Brawley

Great location if visiting Cambridge or Arlington The availability of a restaurant and drugstore next door was a plus Room was clean and comfortable

While we did not use these amenities, we were impressed to see a nice exercise space and laundry facility Love that it is pet friendly even though this visit we did not bring our dog The proximity to family will make this hotel quite useful to us in the future

We’ve been to this hotel three times Every time we had a great time! If I could clone this hotel and take it with us everywhere we go, I would Here’s what we like about it:- rooms with two queen beds and a living-room space with couch, chairs, Tv, and working kitchen

it’s like an Airbnb that you don’t have to clean when you check out-every time we needed something, they accommodated us (eg, check out late; they offered the breakfast for our guests for free; one of on kids had an accident on the sheets, no worries here’s new everything without any negative commentary)-the breakfast is free and decently diverse-there is a laundry room and a gymThe only thing I wish they had was a working restaurant during the day so we can have lunch and dinner there and not have to make it a trip around town with our kids for food We didn’t have a car on these trips so a restaurant in the hotel would have helpedOverall, from us, a clear recommendation!Thank you!
