Vacations Close To MIT Haystack Observatory

No pool. Old feeling in not a good way, and dark. Tiny tiny rooms. Doesn't feel worth the money. Staff was mostly very nice though.

Clean, pleasant staff, nice rooms.

A great value! The shared bathroom thing is only a minor inconvenience. It's essentially a room that has 6-ish doors, each with their own toilet and shower, so it's very private. Be aware that they don't straighten your room everyday either. Overall, for what we spent, it was worth giving up these little things.

Very good location! And clean building and the room. Check in process definitely needs to have more details - specifically your room#, as its a 4story building Communication was on top, they are really looking forward to solve your request.

I think we had the worst or next to worst room in the hotel. I am beginning to think that booking through Expedia is a guarantee of a bad room location. Ours was right over the entrance, with people coming and going at all hours and the valets talking loudly enough to be heard in our room. Our view was of the building across the driveway. The wallpaper in the bathroom was starting to peel off. The ice machine on our floor was broken and never attended to during the 5 days of our stay. Our key would not let us go to the third floor (or any others) to get ice, so we had to go to the lobby and ask at reception to have our ice bucket filled. We had breakfast at the hotel one morning when only a very sparse buffet was available that cost $100 for the two of us. All of the people we dealt with were friendly and tried to be helpful. It was expensive, as everything in Boston is, but without a bay view, it was too expensive. If you want to walk to someplace for dinner, because you are in the Italian neighborhood and on the water, your choices are Italian dishes or seafood. The hotel wasn't awful, but I really wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
