Beautiful room, helpful staff, always giving us extra towels. Great location for our needs. Clean, lots of great dining choices. Will return, when we again have business in the area. Great breakfast buffet, that saves us money, so we could then spend it on some upscale restaurants, LOL.

I stay there a lot, so I am biased. The rooms are very comfortable, and it is quiet, and the breakfast is filling, if not as nice as it used to be. Super convenient for MIT or Boston.
