Chose this hotel based on its proximity to MIT where I was for a conference. The location is great, as it is within 5 min walking distance to the campus. Despite a remodel, this hotel has clearly been around for a while, so you get things like rickety and pensive elevators and such. My room was spacious and had a convenient work zone, which I absolutely needed for this stay. That said, unfortunately, from maintenance perspective, there were a few hiccups which needed to be addressed: low safe battery, loud dripping faucet in the shower (an unwelcome soundtrack when you are trying to sleep after an exhausting day). Maybe I just got unlucky with the room allocation... The breakfast was ok (or so), but the breakfast crew was very welcoming and friendly. Overall, it is a solid 3 out of 5 for me. A good choice if you need to get to the MIT campus, otherwise skippable.

The hotel is fine - nothing fancy. My room was serviceable, but could have used a dusting. It was a really strange view on a corner with a tiny window. I would have thought that as a Marriott Bonvoy member they would have at least put me on a higher floor. The staff were not that friendly - they weren't rude, but not welcoming either.

It was a convenient location for our purpose and comfortable stay for the price, but felt the service was not necessarily better than a budget hotel. When I tried to reactivate my Marriott membership, I was told my initial membership was too old and I'm no longer in the system. Staff also didn't show interest in helping to open a new account. There was also a long line and slower service for the luggage storage check-in and check-out for the 12pm checkout and 1:30pm event for my stay.

Check-in was great (thank you, Ericka!). Service from bellman and valets good. The problem was with the room: 1. Room was not cleaned - a used condom was left by someone prior to our stay. 2. Shower curtain dirty 3. Shower /tub enamel chipped. For $375 a night, I expected better. I will take this as a one-off and not hold it against the brand.

I was on a business trip and caught a cold at the previous place, which worsened after check-in this hotel (was not COVID though.) The security guard was kind enough to bring me an ice pack when I had a fever, but the next day, when my engagement ring diamond was missing, they did not respond well. The manager and the security guard who came to the room searched near the entrance roughly, and checked the door entry/exit history, but there was no one in or out except me. As the room was a connected room, I called the front desk to ask for confirmation just in case, but the woman (manager) said, "We are a global brand and connected rooms are used all over the world, no one can get in unless you open it (of course). The diamond fell off somewhere else, you should call the police yourself", she sneered at me. When I called the police, they filed it as an incident, but the hotel made a point of saying it was none of their business. The manager refused to provide the service, saying that the rule is that no one can enter the room of a person with a fever until at least 24 hours after check-out. I left the used towels outside the room, and then a plastic bag stuffed with six bath towels (no face towels) was placed outside the room. The overflowed rubbishes from the bins was collected by the cleaning staff with double masks. When the fever broke and I went out after removing the “Don't disturb” sign, the room was completely clean and tidy. Cleaners on site want to clean (need tips). The only staff who were helpful during my cold were the staff in the restaurant downstairs (due to my sickness I didn't go out to eat, so took some foods away almost every day). I was told that the corporate discount and the long-stay discount were applied, but in reality it cost an average of more than $500/night with a daily fluctuating rate. A month and a half after returning home, the hotel charged my credit card again about $500, and when I emailed them, they replied that there was no change to my stay. When I sent it again with the details, a different person replied and said, "Sorry, we failed to collect the tax". 15.95% for state, city, tourist taxes and others. They only attached a screen capture of their system, so I told them to send me a official invoice in PDF with the proper logo. They should have informed me before charging. I thought it was a fraudulent use of my credit card. Even at check-out, the front desk phone was left ringing and the staff were engaged in private conversation. This is an utterly appalling global brand. Next time I will stay somewhere else.

Loved our stay. The staff is very friendly. Ericka was on top it at check-in when our room assignment on the Bonvoy app conflicted with data in her system. The hotel is very quiet, clean, and modern. Beautiful lobby with plush chairs and sofas. They even have a pickleball court and free coffee outside the restaurant. Location is perfect since the Red Line Kendall/MIT "T" subway stop is right next door. One stop and you're in downtown. CVS across the street. Located right across the Charles River from downtown Boston, across the street from MIT, and just two subway stops from Harvard. We chose it since it was not as pricy as downtown hotels. However, for the price, they really should have queen beds instead of doubles. That's the only reason for not rating as a five-star.

Santa Cruz, California3 contributions3 helpful votes
Did I spend roughly $50 (pre-tax & tip) on a lobster roll and a glass of prosecco? Yes. Was it worth it? Yes. I'm going to touch on other aspects of my stay, but I can't believe how many fresh tasting, big, succulent chunks of lobster were in this hotel lounge lobster roll. It's cold & mayo based, which I know isn't for everyone (I see you got buttered lobster roll people and I understand completely; I'm just an equal opportunist when it comes to lobster rolls), but it was really good - like, not good for a hotel lounge, but good good. Yum! Ok, so why 4 stars? If it were based on the hospitality of the staff alone, I'd give it 6. Every staff member I encountered was genuinely affable - some were more outgoing than others, sure, but I appreciate mellow kindness. Also, this might be the first time I've remembered to pack all of my extra little charging stations, and I didn't even need them. So many conveniently placed outlets and USB ports - and the main room light was warm toned and welcoming, which is also a little treat :) I had to take away a star because of the general noise. My sleep wasn't disturbed, because I always travel with hardcore ear plugs and a sleep mask, but I couldn't close the curtains all the way (even with the pants hanger clip trick) so there was light coming in, and I could hear everything in the hall. Also plumbing noises (like pipes pinging and gurgling - nothing alarming, just...mildly intrusive). I was also disappointed that there wasn't a laundry bag or dry cleaning service like there are in the other Marriotts I've stayed in; I want to call myself out on not going to the front desk to ask specifically for this, but every other Marriott I've been in has a laundry bag with a dry cleaning order form in the closet. There also weren't any extra blankets in the closet; again, I didn't ask the front for one (and I'm sure they would have given one to me) but I wish there had been one in the room as it was super comfortable until I woke up at 2 am - which is really late and inconvenient to realize you need extra blankets. Ok, so that's why I took away a star. The other 4 are for the friendly staff, incredibly convenient location (anywhere I didn't walk, I took a Bluebike from the stand right outside), gorgeous fitness center (Pelotons?! What?!), and general cleanliness. If I come back to Boston/Cambridge for work, I'm 100% staying here. (If I come for pleasure, I'd probably try a quaint inn or something, but honestly I'd likely stay here the final night of my trip because it is also FIFTEEN MINUTES from the airport. But with a great river view, and no plane noises.) More on the location: walk to the river, and across the Harvard bridge. You're literally right there, and it's a great way to see the city (and while there's a CVS across the street, the one over the bridge is in a historic building. I'm from California, so to me that is very special 😂). It also takes 15 minutes to walk to the Cambridgeside Galleria if you need a mall. And it's a good mall!

Lovely location but don't expect to sleep. The plumbing clangs constantly. There is literally no end to the noise. After two nights of trying to blare "white noise" from my phone I'm realizing there's no respite from it.

Shows every sign of positive associate morale. Everyone I have interacted at this hotel has been so very positive. This assessment also applies to the breakfast room. Special note of thanks to Alan (who was SO pleasant on the phone prior to my arrival when I had to make a minor adjustment to my room and when I arrived) and Kate for help and pleasant attitude. I kind of hate to leave here. Thanks to all for a nice time.
