Good mix between the hotel (with cleaning every day) and an appartment (where you could cook yourself). Very well located, with inside pool. Complementary breakfast is offered plus some snacks on some evenings. Size of the room is perfect. One improvement needed: the people on the desk could be more nice. Would recommend this place.

Dear bruno m, Thank you for taking the time to recognize your stay at our Hotel. I am very pleased that you found us as a great place to stay. It certainly sounds like you enjoyed the amenities offered by our extended stay design. I was, however, a little disappointed at your remarks about the staff at the desk, and... More

This hotel is PERFECT for anyone headed to Boston. Whether it's family, guys trip, or just friends...the hotel is immaculate and VERY convenient. You are 1 block from the Red Line where you can head to downtown in 2 stops, or if you go the other way...you're in Harvard Square. The hotel has free breakfast...and it is hot, not a... More

I stayed here one night on business, the room was huge and clean. It was a great place to stay with nice amenities. I would stay here again.

This hotel is great. The rooms are large, the free internet is super fast, and breakfast (included) is more than enough to get you through the day. The location is OK, not the best, but for the value you get at this hotel, I'd definitely recommend this place for any trip to Cambridge or Boston. The one thing about the... More

Very simply, this is the perfect hotel for visiting Cambridge and Boston. The rooms are spacious, fresh, modern and quiet. A plus is that this hotel has the best wi-fi I've experienced at a Marriott. Period. The wi-fi is fast, and consistent. I had work to do that involved watching a couple of videos. I was able to watch the... More

We chose this hotel for a visit to the MIT campus. The location could not have been more convenient. It is a very short two block walk to MIT and a mere 2-1/2 block walk to the Kendall Square/MIT Red Line underground stop. The underground stop allowed easy access to/from Logan Airport via shuttle bus and underground (1 transfer, $2.00... More

I was attending a conference being held on the MIT campus and this hotel was the closest to the meetings (on the campus). The rooms were very nice and very large. Bed was one of the more comfortable ones I have slept on. The location was quiet and safe and the price was reasonable. The breakfast was great and always... More

We travelled to Boston with our 2 year old daughter. The lay out of the room is perfect for this scenario as the living room is separated from the bedroom by a door and the bathroom comes off the bedroom. They provide a pack 'n' play for the crib which my daughter prefers as she tends to bang her head... More

We were in Boston for an extended weekend visit and looking for a reasonably priced conveniently located hotel. In additional, since we were traveling with our son, we wanted a location which had a separate sleeping area (from the sofa bed located in the living area). This place fit the bill. Not exactly inexpensive, but comparable to other prices throughout... More

It sounds as if you enjoyed your time around Boston, and took great advantage of the nearby subway station. I was disappointed when I read your comments about the reception... More
