Always a favorite. Quiet, and chill. Theater on site, large comfy couches. You can walk around with your pint in hand. The people are kind and respectful, and the art everywhere makes Kennedy School a delight to escape to.

I stayed here last night and I absolutely love the staff. I started having a panic attack and the person at the bar got me a muffin and some water and asked how I was doing, I’m so grateful for that. Thank you so much!

A quirky spot : need a tour guide of which they have many. The hotel staff was top notch & helpful. My room was safe and clean — maybe could have been vacuumed better . The main restaurant staff was untrained and clueless. Will try the other locations ! Very cool place
