Heating was too high and control was broken, no way to open the windows even to let the room cool a bit, it’s an old property with dated rooms. Unfortunately our experience was not good!

Be aware they do not have onsite parking. There are two unloading spots out on the street. Both were occupied when we arrived and I was forced to park illegally. I had to quickly make two trips with luggage to the room while my wife waited in the car. Then drove two blocks to park in a public garage at a cost of $50. Expedia suggested we were entitled to a room upgrade but the room we got was small and cramped. Breakfas was good but there is no proper dining area. Hotel itself is very nicely decorated but wouldn't stay here again.

We stayed for 3 nights as a family with kids loved everything about the property. The location was ideal for a visit to MIT and local restaurants, short cab to central Boston. The hotel itself was so elegant full of character, room was clean and spacious and staff friendly and accommodating. Great start to the day with breakfast included. Highly recommend.
