Pros:

Parking was an option for an extra cost

Cons:

The rooms hated we couldn’t see out. Felt like an inside cabin on a cruise ship.

Pros:

Good neighborhood

Cons:

The rooms are very cheaply maintained. No mini bar, no amenities. The television is basic cable. But worst of all the breakfast buffet is so bad we skipped it both mornings and ate elsewhere. Bagels, english muffins and white toast alongside corn flakes and make your own oatmeal. No fruit, no pastries, etc. Much worse than the last time we stayed two years ago.

Pros:

The location

Cons:

My AC was broken and they kept doing temporary fixes to get it fixed. Called 4 different times to the front desk to fix it but it it would only work for a couple hours. After returning to the room from being out it would be unbearably hot. The first night I had to settle for just fans and the second night they finally moved us to a different room but it took a day and a half. Was promised a partial refund but still haven’t seen anything come back in my account . Highly disappointed

Our 2nd stay in a year (almost 4 weeks in total). Pretty good overall due to location and staff but slightly disappointe
Pros:

Location, cleanliness, excellent staff

Cons:

Dispenser stopped working. A hotel of this size and reputation should have fixed it or replaced it immediately. But 3 days later, it still doesn’t work.

Clean and well located hotel
Pros:

Great location; rooms are clean and comfortable. We stayed in a TownHouse style room which had a great open closet space for storage, organizing. A rarity!

Staying in Brookline was an easy option and the Arcadian was a great place to stay.
Pros:

The location was on a green line train which made it easy to get into the city plus it was an easy walk. Boston accommodation is expensive and this was mid range pricing. The bed was perfectly comfortable after long days of exploring.

Cons:

Included breakfast felt like being at a cruise buffet, busy, a struggle to find a table, and basic food.

Pros:

Exactly what I was looking for as someone traveling alone and needing a comfortable place to stay for a few nights that included breakfast. The room was very nice and comfortable, the bathroom was clean, the desk was larger than at other hotels I have been to; everything was there that one would expect. Also, the table areas in the hallways are quite convenient. They are relatively secluded, and there are plenty, so you can almost always find a quiet area to work, study, or read.

Cons:

I appreciated how the breakfast hours were clearly written in the lobby, but it was not clear to me what the hours were for the bar. Perhaps I am missing something obvious, but I couldn't find the hours on the website either. Of course, this is fine if the bar has flexible hours depending on how many staff members are present, but if that is the case, it would probably be better to inform people that the bar hours are not fixed. This would also help save time for the staff who might be asked this often.

Room was nice, staff needs more training.
Pros:

Beds were very comfortable and rooms very clean.

Cons:

Staff couldn't provide a spare blanket for the pull out bed. Front desk is seriously understaffed and trained. Took way too long to get people checked in and with college move in, there should have been more front desk personnel for college move in week. There were times walked by the desk and one person was trying to check people in with 10-15 people on line. Then at night, the desk person was also the bartender so had to walk away to sell guests a beer. Those who were working the desk were very pleasant and polite just completely overwhelmed.
