Great location in MIT campus. Retro interior and exterior decoration, family suite is the best choice for traveling with children. Free breakfast is a plus, but it would be better to change the content of breakfast every day. Like this hotel

Very friendly staff, offered a few nearby dining choices for when we arrived. One was busy but ended up at The Luna Cafe which had excellent brunch choices, fast friendly service there too. Easter Sunday we had the breakfast at the hotel, so much to choose from. Great coffee and think it was fresh squeezed orange juice with pulp. Will definitely go back again.

This unique hotel was an absolute hit with our four year old. The fun theme and history was very cool. The breakfast was great and there were lots of options including vegetarian options. The parking is underground which is convenient but they are very small spaces so if you are renting a car keep that in mind. We had a wonderful time!

This hotel is clearly for those who will enjoy staying in an older, renovated property. The rooms are a bit small, but the hotel’s charm and location more than makes up for it. The location is just steps from the Kendall Square T stop (Red Line), which gets you to Harvard or downtown Boston in no time at all. Staff was very friendly and helpful and the overall hotel is just a lovely brick structure. The MIT museum and MIT press bookstore are next door. The only downsides to this hotel are: 1) the breakfast, though free, is pretty much the same every day. If it’s not your kind of food, you probably won’t enjoy it 2) There are quite a few restaurants nearby, but much of the surrounding area is office complexes and late night food options are scarce
