It's always helpful to have easy parking available onsite, even though it's costly. The free breakfast buffet was very nice but not in a good location. It's too crowded and in a nook that is not laid out well.

First time in Boston area. Really loved the city. We were visiting some colleges in Cambridge and found this small Fairfield Inn relatively convenient -- walkable to M.I.T and an easy train ride to Harvard from MIT. Train station was within a 5 minute walk for rides into Boston. Grocery store not a far walk either. I've always found Fairfield Inns affordable without compromising any cleanliness or safety. Internet connection was no problem here. Plus, I always love the complimentary buffet breakfast with plenty of hot food, fruit and cereals/yogurts. More choices than I could eat in one breakfast.
