The folks in the lobby have been very accommodating! Gaby had gone above & beyond to ensure we had a great hotel service & experience. Andrea the housekeeper was proactive and got us fresh towels + anything else we needed in the room. Breakfast was also great, the staff made sure everything was fully stocked with fresh food & drinks, they had someone giving clear instructions on how to use their waffle maker. Overall, amazing staff & services. Location was travel in & out from. Pretty close to the airport as well!
My family stayed here while in Boston for a couple of days. Kiddos are 11 and 9. We all agreed it was a great hotel and would definitely stay again! Mary at breakfast was wonderful! Very kind and very helpful. Overall, I was a great stay! Highly recommend.
Very clean and comfortable! We actually liked the sound of the train. It’s very calming to us. But I think it’s awesome they provided a noise machine. My only complaint is the “comforter” which had two flat sheets to give it a duvet-ish feel. One on top one on bottom. But they come apart?? Plus it’s too heavy. But the bed is comfy. 5 stars overall.
This is truly one of the finest hotels in the Boston/Cambridge area. Sean and Rosalind go above and beyond to make every guest feel welcome and valued. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail ensure that you can always count on them for an exceptional experience from start to finish.
I had a great experience in this hotel. The breakfast is excellent. Super healthy. Michelle and Gabi at the front desk were very helpful and nice. There's cafe, water and tea 24/7. Also in the rooms. The location is perfect since you have Lechmere station (green line) that connects you to wherever you want to go. But also you can walk to downtown Boston from there very easily. I loved my room. Had everything. I stayed for 6 night and I choose "no housekeeping/cleaning" and i had towels foe my whole stay as well as toiletries. I just want to mention that the taxi that they ask for me to go to the airport was with a fixed rate (instead of by the meter) and it was way more expensive than coming from the airport.
We had a very pleasant stay—great location, close to MIT, Harvard, children’s museum, and lots of restaurants within walking distance. Staff members were very friendly, especially the receptionist Gabi—she was extremely welcoming and accommodating. Room was clean and updated (trains passing by could be a little noisy though). Hot breakfast was also a plus! I would stay here again!
Wonderful!! Clean and updated. Spacious rooms. Dental kit upon asking, which was our own fault for forgetting a few things, water bottles for every member that were cold upon arrival and amazing customer service despite the t train which is a plus having it so nearby obviously it means you’ll have to hear the noise that’s not that big of a deal if you want the location amenities like inclusive breakfast, and free parking
Very nice Hotel. Staff are very nice, location is good, near my sister. The breakfast has good options or there are some good restaurants and a good brewery nearby. Rooms are a little small but still very nice.
