Nice home away from home
Pros:

I loved staying here. it's close to a TJ's which is helpful and the people at the front desk are super friendly and helpful. I felt safe coming home by myself at night and the room was inviting and clean. Deyli was especially helpful, professional, and friendly at the front desk. Would definitely come back!

Hidden charges, smoke sensor
Pros:

This is my second time staying at this hotel. I chose this hotel both times due to its proximity to the MIT campus. The rooms are mediocre, they need renovated and updated for what they charge per night. The pillows are lumpy. They charge a $32 per day "resort fee". When you check in they give you coupons for $32 for each night you stay to use in their Japanese steakhouse (I don't like that type of food) or their morning bistro. If I am out of town and spending $32 on breakfast, I am going to go eat at a decent restaurant, not mediocre hotel breakfast food. They have sensors in the room now that "detect" smoke. I am perfectly fine with that, as I do not smoke, vape, nothing. I am having to fight a $500 charge for their smoke detector sensor going off in my room, on a day and time when I was not even in the room. The manager on duty at the time ( I didn't get his name, but it was February 17th, 2026 in the morning when I talked to him) was not helpful or friendly at all. He was not willing to help me get the charge taken off, told me it was what it was and accused me of smoking or vaping in the room. I asked him to pull hallway cameras to see that I had left the room and wasn't in the room at that time, and I was told that there are no cameras in the hallways. Very poor customer service from the manager.

Bir daha orada kalmam
Pros:

Kahvaltıya bakan hanımefendi çok güler yüzlüydü.

Cons:

Banyo tıkandı, onu açtırdıktan sonra lavaboya kendiliğinden su doldu. Lağım kokusu vardı. Personel çok suratsızdı. Kar fırtınası batırmıştı, kurum içindeki restoran açık kalacağını demesine rağmen kapatıp gitti, aç kaldık!

A quiet retreat, just minutes from an eclectic selection of restaurants and entertainment.
Pros:

The front desk staff were timely & extremely helpful. They ensured the comfort of my staff was top notch.

Cons:

There could be some updates to the building. I had to sleep with the window open because the AC wasn’t working.

It was ok in the end but won’t stay there any more
Pros:

The room overall was clean. Spacious. Quiet.

Cons:

Air conditioner in the room was broken and the room was too cold. Called front desk twice but no one came to fix it. Had to go to the front desk to get help. It took more than 1 hour to get a space heater.
They charge destination fee and gave us a coupon which only redeemable at the “Japanese” restaurant in the hotel. The restaurant says “authentic Japanese”but they are actually authentic American Chinese restaurant. Anyway, the food wasn’t good.

Great customer service
Pros:

I had a great experience here with Deyli behind the front desk. She was so responsive to our needs. The adjustments we needed were already planned in her head and so I give her a 10/10 for her support!
