What guests loved the most
“The Breakfast was amazing, hot and freshly made. The room I had was very quiet which surprised me, being in a city. We had a problem with the room getting too hot but they fixed that right away. Also a great location near the red line, didn't need a car.”
“Very welcoming, bright and inviting atmosphere. Wonderful aromas coming from the kitchen.....”

“Lovely place, very personable staff, kind and helpful. I loved having a restaurant on site and the food and wine were excellent. The breakfast was amazing!
Great central location and parking underneath the hotel. I would come back.”
“I enjoyed the proximity to MIT, or Kendall T Station. I am fascinated by the nuance of living during 1800s by the decor. I was always looking forward to returning from school every evening to take rib eye steak plus nothing but the best wine collection. I enjoyed the cleanliness of the whole hotel plus the hospitality of the staff. Their names are Mark, Leilani, Santos and Odair.”
