Pros:

Quiet hotel with large rooms and nice staff. Good value for a short visit. It is about 25 min walk from MIT or Harvard campus and by a small park next to the river.

Cons:

Far away from Metro Red Line and every other type of public transport (20 min from Central station). The food in the restaurant was terrible with unfriendly staff. The Wi-Fi requires an account by Marriot and I couldn’t register with their system for some reason so I had to relay on very slow public network instead.

Pros:

The lobby and room were both very clean. I travel a lot for work and did feel like this room was on the cleaner side of what I've seen during my travels around the US/Canada. The staff were also really nice. I appreciated that they let me check in early when I asked to just drop my bags early and they allowed me to store my luggage the last day when I had to leave for work meetings.

Cons:

The one downside is there was a strange noise that I kept hearing in my room. I still don't know what it was. I did call the front desk during day two see if there was maybe something below my room that might be causing it but the lady I spoke to (who was very nice) did not know what was causing it. She did offer to bring up ear plugs which was very nice.

But overall I was really happy with the hotel and would be willing to stay again.

직원들은 친절하지만 오래된 호텔
Pros:

MIT까지 40분 걸어서 갈 수 있음. 바로 옆에 Trader Joe’s 있어서 편했음

Cons:

조식을 그 수준에 유료라는게 믿기 어려움. 무료 조식으로 바꾸세요.

Decent Utility hotel if you want to be near MIT or BU
Pros:

Location, close to MIT and BU

Cons:

A basic hotel, looks a bit old, rooms are average. Doesn’t match with Hyatt Regency hotels I stayed elsewhere in the world
