Super cute hotel. Very comfortable beds, located in a very good location next to MIT. Area feels safe. Only bad was the parking garage, super small and they charge $45 for valet but no valet present but they still charge.

Average hotel in a great location
Great location. Good breakfast. Average hotel. Given the rate >$400/night, I was disappointed with the bathroom features and toiletries. They were cheap, and I felt like I was in a Hilton Garden Inn. The bathrooms need to be renovated, starting with the shower heads, which were straight from a Holiday Inn. Staff was great doing the best with what they ahve, and they served a good breakfast. Still, I'll look elsewhere for my next trip.
