Upon check-in, we were told that there was a $28.00 charge per day to park the car. This was never mentioned in any emails or on the phone. There are no restaurants nearby except the hotel's, which charges $15.00 for breakfast consisting of 2 eggs, toast, bacon and hash browns. Needless to say, we never ate there. The In-House TV station ...

A very bad experience..
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/29/07
This is the worst hotel that I have stayed at. Had to pick this place for my busines trip. The service is poor. It's hard to get around unless you are driving a car (parking is $35 per day) or if you are going to MIT (It's right next to it) - I am using T trains and they are extremely reluctant to offer their shuttle to the train station!!! ...

Not worth the price
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/22/07
Attended a conference at this hotel. My $259.00 + taxes bought me stained carpeting, scuffed walls, filthy vents, a bath with no caulk on the tub or sink, flickering fluorescent lights and a balcony door with absolutely no lock on it. Add to that the fact that I had to pay an additional $9.99 for Internet access.
I stayed at an economy hotel a ...

Nice, but not THAT nice
By TerryD, 01/21/07
The rooms were definitely clean and pretty comfortable. There is a nice view as well. However, it is basically a high-priced Holiday Inn. This is NOT a luxury hotel, but everything comes at a luxurious price. There was a bottle of water in the room that we drank, only to find out at check out that we had been charged 5 dollars for it. In the ...

Beautiful View
By mcrojo, 04/24/06
I had a wonderful view of the Charles River. Very pleasant staff and an excellent Sunday brunch. A little disappointed in the slow WebTV, but I'm sure if I had brought my laptop, other access would have been more satisfactory.

where's the T stop?
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/21/06
This hotel was just OK. The elevators were always packed, there was construction noise to wake us up at 7 am, it was over-priced for what you got, and you had to schedule a time to get a "shuttle," which was just a Dogde van (which doesn't take your luggage, by the way.) The ambiance was nice, and the beds were comfy, but I would strongly suggest looking elsewhere, probably something just closer to a T stop.

Awesome Hotel!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/27/06
We were there for a conference at the same time as another conference. There was never any interference - other than a line at the elevators.The people were friendly and helpful. The hotel itself was gorgeous. I would definitely stay there again - if you can afford it.

Beware of hidden costs
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/19/05
Started on a bad note. Hotel overbooked. Then rooms not available at check in time. Had to paid additional fee to get a room to accomodate my family. Pleasant visit following that until check out. Worth a visit but make sure you ask questions prior to arrival and get names who you have spoken to.

It was okay, could've been better
By Drew, 08/15/05
Clean, quiet and comfortable rooms. Twenty minute walk to Fenway Park, which was a nice surprise. Hotel is not really close to much and you have to find transportation. Hotel "shuttle" service needs an update-too many quests-only one shuttle. Pool is a lap pool and the locals who pay a monthly fee to use it will definately let you know about that. Excellent views of downtown Boston as you overlook the Charles River.
