Loved our stay and would happily return.
Pros:

Great location. Very friendly and helpful staff. Quirky interesting building. Nice breakfast patio outside.

Cons:

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.

Wonderful quiet hotel, centrally located
Pros:

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.

Cons:

It was on the pricey side but equally, all hotels in Boston during the World Cup were expensive.

Nice hotel offering something different from the corporates.
Pros:

Location. Close enough to city centre but in the lovely area of Cambridge. Staff were all great.

Cons:

Dreadful wi-fi. Overpriced due to World Cup.
