We were surprised to find that there was only one usb port in the room which was on the back of the TV-very hard to reach and it only charged if the TV was on and it took forever. When I asked if there was another room with better charging they said "no" but I could go to Best Buy and by a brick. We ere pretty disappointed with that response.

The property was in a quiet location on the Charles River. Right behind the hotel was the Charles River park and bike path. Gorgeous views. It was also very close to the Museum of Science. It was generally a convenient spot but there was a fairly significant walk to the T (15 minutes) that was a little different than what was shared on the website. The hotel was clean, the staff was friendly, great amenities and nice pool. Very comfy bed. The biggest drawback was the bathroom door which was difficult to slide open and shut (no handle on the inside) and was quite loud. Would absolutely stay here again.

This hotel is perfectly nice. I have no complaints. I could hear a baby crying in another room at times so there can be noise but it wasn’t terrible. Bathrooms are small but clean. Shower was great. Bed was comfortable. Worst part about no cleaning service daily is trying to get rid of food garbage. I would stay here again. Parking garage was also great.

The property was very nice. Would have liked a breakfast that was included rather than a Starbucks concession for purchase. The pool was a great amenity and was a reason we chose the hotel.
