Very friendly staff, offered a few nearby dining choices for when we arrived. One was busy but ended up at The Luna Cafe which had excellent brunch choices, fast friendly service there too. Easter Sunday we had the breakfast at the hotel, so much to choose from. Great coffee and think it was fresh squeezed orange juice with pulp. Will definitely go back again.

Great location in MIT campus. Retro interior and exterior decoration, family suite is the best choice for traveling with children. Free breakfast is a plus, but it would be better to change the content of breakfast every day. Like this hotel

Great hotel, however they charged an additional unexpected "destination fee" that was apparently not part of the advertised price.

Disliked: Staff & service

Mechanical noise and no one cares

The fan in the bathroom would not shut off. So loud I couldn’t sleep. They could not fix it or get me another room. I tried to sleep on the couch because the noise was louder in the bed. I was up at 4 am yesterday and barely slept last night and I am exhausted. I have to get to work but still waiting for the manager to get in to resolve this. The whole point of a hotel is a good night’s sleep and I did not get that:(

Clean, quiet, nice room. Historic building kept in excellent condition, Appreciated that the heating-cooling system is quiet. Parking is convenient but does require skill to maneuver in a tight space. The included breakfast buffet needed more healthy choices (e.g. bran cereal, oatmeal, better variety of fruit.) But overall, still very nice.
