Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Breakfast was average. The room was very comfortable and clean.
The location was interesting. We probably would not stay in Cambridge again.
El desayuno muy bueno, la cantidad de mesas disponibles para desayunar muy pocas.
ME parece que la relación precio servicios ofrecidos no tiene mucha relación, es un edificio antiguo con soluciónes antiguas para los pasajeros (AC antiguo, falta de enchufes para equipamientos personales, ventilación de baños mejorable, un solo ascensor para todo el hotel, etc)
Sempatik çalışanları ve kahvaltı
Yeterince gün ışığı olmaması
petit-déjeuner décevant
Unique, comfortable, smaller and more intimate
Nothing

Incredibly bad wifi. Not suitable for work.
Breakfast substantial and delicious. Friendly and helpful staff
Nothing
Nice location and nice room
All good
Es war eine sehr schöne Unterkunft direkt am MIT in Cambridge und man konnte auch gut nach Boston laufen. Frühstück war auch gut.
Der Parkplatz ist mit 51$ etwas teuer und wirklich nicht für große Autos.
La posizione è la comodità
0
Everything from service to breakfast to the rooms is great
They need to get proper parking as current parking is very limited and very expensive
La literie ,proche metro ,les équipements
La clim trop froide a l accueil et couloir
excellent breakfast, beautiful room, friendly staff, security is good
Very clean with a lot of attention to detail!
It was all great!
El lugar, que es histórico, el diseño interior, los detalles, la comodidad en las habitaciones.
La struttura, la posizione e l’accoglienza
Tesisin konumu harika. Kendal meydaninda. Mit ve harverd a cok yakin. Sehir merkezi ve bazi avm ler yurume mesafesinde. Google binasinin tam karsisi. Bina cok sempatik. Ama eski. Aksam tesisat sesleri geliyor. Genel anlamda memnunuz
Biraz gurultulu. Tesisat sesleri var.
Location excellent. Breakfast excellent. Quaint concept. Fantastic robes.
Rooms too dark. Sheets inferior for price and supposed class of hotel. Top floor lounge too hot to use, tho that feature is a selling point.
Next door to the MIT and to the red line stop and 2 stops from Harvard spacious rooms, great vibes and cozy delicious breakfast Loved the area with many restaurants and bars great both for families, just couples or friends trip
Very comfortable room, well located in Cambridge with access to MIT, Harvard etc
Simple breakfast with limited choices ; limited but expensive parking
Early check in was great, room was clean and staff were excellent!
It’s was very expensive for 1 night, given it was summer and during World Cup the prices shot up double of what it normally is.
The breakfast was wonderful and had things all 3 of my kids liked, plus Gluten Free for me.
Luckily, they gave us a roll-a-way bed. The room said it slept 5 but it really only slept 4.
I loved the history and decor
Convenient location. Excellent breakfast. Very helpful staff
A little pricey
Staff nice
Room A/C
Location ist absolutely perfect to explore the city
Store og fine rom. Komfortabel seng. Flott bygning
Amerikansk frokost er ikke det beste
Great location. Very friendly and helpful staff. Quirky interesting building. Nice breakfast patio outside.
No comfortable position to sit and dry hair with a hairdryer and have a mirror at eye level! Minor gripe and easily fixed if they moved the wall mirror.
Beautiful quiet hotel, exceptionally styled with reference to the building history. Excellent location; subway next door and only a few stops into the main centre. The room was very big with plenty of storage (and a Dyson hair dryer!). Buffet breakfast was lovely too with enough choice to keep everyone full and happy.
It was on the pricey side but equally, all hotels in Boston during the World Cup were expensive.
The rooms were perfect, breakfast was lovely and the staff couldn't do enough to assist. Loved our time in Boston!!!
Nothing, hotel was perfect!
Great breakfast with a fantastic location. Convenient to airport and cruiseship terminal.
Nothing
The design of the place is very nice, gives a good vibe, the staff was pretty nice, and the location is not very center but in a pleasant area and close to the subway.
It’s absolutely adorable throughout the whole property as well as the rooms and the beds are extremely comfortable. The staff were all incredible. The breakfast was pretty lame like something I would expect at a best western.
Well, I thought it was way overpriced. I paid nearly $600 plus parking for one night. That is my biggest gripe and the less than mediocre breakfast.
Location. Close enough to city centre but in the lovely area of Cambridge. Staff were all great.
Dreadful wi-fi. Overpriced due to World Cup.
Cama boa e quarto amplo, banheiro muito bom mas quem não gosta de banheira é um pouco pior porque o chuveiro é na banheira. O staff é o ponto alto! Extremamente gentis e resolviam tudo. As panquecas do café da manhã são maravilhosassss Estar em um lugar com tanta história é maravilhoso. Tudo excelente
Não consegui usar o cofre Não tinha chinelos que normalmente em hotéis desse padrão tem. E a vista não era bonita. Pelo valor pago imaginava que teria.
It was very quaint clean and comfortable staff were excellent! Close to train station which was very convenient!
There was nothing I didn’t like
The location was great and the staff very friendly.
Unfortunately the room was very dark and some of the lamps didn't work.
Location, look, cleanliness
a little expensive
Location was perfect Interior was nice and not so much standard
For business a bit difficult if you wanna work in the , at least my room did not have a proper desk to work from
Nothing
Beautiful hotel in a superb building near Kendall Square, with easy metro access to city centre (station is literally a minute away) Room was large, spacious and comfy, bed was comfy too Staff wre friendly and very helpful, and breakfast was good with a decent enough selection
Arguably a little pricey for what it was but considering the World Cup game was on its understandable
Everything was absolutely perfect
Desayuno: correcto. Ubicación: excelente. En total una gran experiencia. Atención amable y profesional.
No hay mucho espacio para desayunar. Pocas mesas y en medio del lobby incómodo y ruidoso. Mejor me subí el desayuno a la habitación.
Coole Location, sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter
Amerikanisches Frühstück könnte mehr Nährstoffe haben…
Frühstück ist inklusive. Lage am MIT und an der U-Bahn. Man ist ganz schnell auch in Boston.
Convenient. Very Accomodating staff.
Congested elevator
Unfortunately beds were not comfortable and our room (609) was pretty dark inside.
The breakfast spread was amazing! Specially convenient when traveling with small children.
The room was spacious and comfortable. Great location close to MIT and metro.
An uncomfortable shower, a mattress that’s too soft, and a poor breakfast.
It is a very cool and comfortable place. It felt like home, which is the best feeling you can have in a hotel.
Konumu ve konforu harikaydı. Teşekkür ederim...
Kahvaltı geliştirilmeli diye düşünüyorum.
Lovely room. Inviting lobby and good breakfast. Staff very friendly and helpful.
Getting into parking garage. No view to speak of because it’s a little old building in the midst of modern tall buildings.
This hotel is amazing!!!!! Our front desk assistant, Tucker was amazing!!!! The beds are super comfy and everything down to the Dyson hair dryer and robes were extra special touches! The buffet and coffee were also amazing!! Loren I think was assisting with breakfast clean up was super sweet as well. Perfect stay!
Nothing
Great location. On-site parking. Great staff. Good room design - spacious room. Goody bag.
Belle chambre. Hôtel à côté de station de métro. Staff sympathique. Bon petit déjeuner. Bon rapport qualité/prix.
On entend souvent des bruits sourds venant d’autres chambres/d’autres étages. Chambre un peu froide malgré le chauffage. Le ménage laisse parfois à désirer (lavabo pas nettoyé d’un jour à l’autre). Pourquoi le personnel de chambre claque systématiquement les portes (ce qui s’entend très fort)?
Authentische Feuerwache
Loved the location, breakfast, top floor, and friendly staff
Convenient place for visiting MIT
Breakfast is too simple
Location across from the T at MIT, friendly, helpful staff, clean and nicely decorated.
Expensive.
Coziness, big comfortable rooms, location
Same breakfast every day :)
Location! Nice history and decoration. Friendly staff. Quiet.
It felt like every time (different times of day) we got off the elevator or came out of our room, a housekeeping person was there with a cart or garbage bags or…. Not a lot of room in the hall, and they were friendly and have important work, and we were located near the elevator, but it wasn’t as pleasant as it might have been.
The staff was warm, helpful and welcoming.
