Spacious clean room. Nice double queen beds. Great location, accessible to subway. Nice amenities. Only wish they didn’t charge a $30 resort fee per day that wasn’t included in the price. They give you $20 food credit per day so that partially makes up for it. Very good breakfast is included.

The room was clean, if a bit basic. Hotel staff were attentive and friendly. Breakfast was on par with other free breakfasts at hotels of this caliber. Not great, but not bad, either. Location was great. Walkable to most MIT locations. This was a good, well-priced option for our stay in Boston.
