• Free shuttle to local attractions (within 10 minutes).
• Restaurants too expensive for the quality of the food and presentation.

“Relatively distant from public transportation and local attractions although did provide a local shuttle. No shuttle to or from airport which is a drawback. Rooms were clean and beds comfortable. Rooms were quiet. Daily newspapers. No view from my room but is possible that some rooms had a river view towards Boston. No smoking rooms and floors.”

• Staff was really nice, helpful, and generous.
• Beds were crap, cable broken, not well maintained inside, smelled bad.

“The hotel staff is what made the stay nice. It is not conveniently located (a mile walk from T), the beds were miserably uncomfortable, the cable was broken for most of our stay, the room smelled like smoke even though it was on a non-smoking floor, and it was not well maintained (plastic cover on light was broken with bent nails sticking out, mold stains on the ceiling in the bathroom, AC didn't allow you to change the settings/temp). Although there was wireless internet, there were not any available outlets in the room. We had to unplug a lamp for the laptop, and another lamp when we asked for a fridge. These things did not take away from our stay because we were rarely in the room, but we did not sleep well there. Also, there was construction happing at the Trader Joes next door, and that woke us each morning with jack-hammering.”

• The hotel was very nice, clean and the people were very friendly and accommodating. Free Internet. Great view of the Charles River and sail boating.
• Besides a grocery store, it's not convenient for walking to different locales like most Boston area hotels.

“This hotel was great. Our room overlooked the water, was clean and very nicely decorated. I would have preferred a hotel that was more centrally located in the Cambridge area for easy walking access, but the hotel was very convenient via a quick cab ride to Harvard Square, Boston, etc.”

• The two restaurants located in the hotel served delicious food and had excellent service.
• It was not conveniently located to the Boston T transit system.

“The price for the room was acceptable, but I was not aware that I had to pay $20 per day for parking in the hotel lot until I arrived. That added a significant expense to our trip.”

• Clean and very comfy.
• Location; far from public transportation.

“Good quality, but location is a problem - you need to use their shuttle, or call a cab, and remember this - Cambridge's cab fare is DIFFERENT from city of Boston. It's more expensive!”

• Ed the concierge/driver of the shuttle was awesome! Friendly, knowledge & well connected.
• It was dirty, rundown, elevator broke down, cockroaches in restaurant and the circuit breaker went out so no electricity in half the room.

“I will never stay at this hotel! The carpets were patched together with duct tape and soiled. Our towels had stains on them. The restaurant (Dionysus) had a cockroach crawling up the window. The elevator broke down with my daughter, 2 other hotel guests and me in it. We pried the doors open with our hands to get out. For some reason the circuit breaker in my daughter's room went out so her lamps and clock did not have electricity. Of course that happened at 11:00 at night so we didn't get to sleep until almost midnight by the time they figured out who knew where the electrical box was and how to flip the breaker. The only saving grace was Ed the concierge/van driver. He directed us to how to score great Red Sox tickets and Blue Man group! Gave us accurate advice on how to get where we wanted to go. He was awesome!”

• Uncomfortable Beds, Poor Service, Run Down, Rats In Parking Lot, $20 Parking.

“This hotel was basically a Motel 6 with a coffee pot and shampoo/conditioner/lotion and over priced mediocre quality room service. Almost every night we were there they failed to replenish or clean something in our room. The in-house Greek restaurant was closed for dinner while we were there, however we were very pleased with the in-house Japanese restaurant and bar.”

• Food available in walking range + nice area.
• Not close to public transportation.

“The hotel is nice, however it wasn't as close as I had hoped to access public transportation. I had to take a cab which was quite costly. The staff was friendly and efficient. I would stay there again, however next time I visit Boston, I hope to find a hotel in the financial district or the Back Bay area. At the price I paid, I'm not going to be too picky though. Overall it was a good experience.”

• Staff Friendly and helpful. Beautiful Area.
• Not close to public Transport or Boston Historical sites.

“Clean but amenities were sparse. Beds very hard overall OK but definitely not a 3 star accommodation. Restaurants in Hotel were good but the main one was closed due to vacation. Not a good place to walk from.”

• Room service and breakfast waiters friendly.
• Drab dingy atmosphere.

“Handy to BU and BC and Harvard for family's of students, but, lacking any charm or appeal to seekers of the Boston experience.”

• Accommodations were quite nice for the price range.
• It wasn't very accessible to mass transportation. also, the restaurant options in or near the hotel were not great.

“In general, a very nice hotel that mostly compensates for the slight inconveniences.”

• Close to Harvard and MIT.
• Room was hot, dirty, small, really bad.

“Hotel was not accommodating from the staff. The A/C did not work correctly and when I asked the facilities guy to work on it he told the front desk he did. I come back and the A/C is still not working and I took the cover off and found a plastic bag stucked into the fan. I guess he really worked on it. I pulled the bag out and it worked slightly better. Room was very small for rating. Hotel is in bad repair. Stained carpet, holes in the walls, wrinkled carpet, bad a/c, rusty window frames, I could go on. Stay away from this HOTEL. I do not care how cheap you get it. Stay away.”
