December 15 2007: Stayed here when I interviewed at Harvard - the students I talked to all said "Ooh, the department put you up at Harvard Square!" but I think that attitude reflects more on the pathetic living conditions to which grad students are accustomed rather than anything about the hotel.  Don't get me wrong, the hotel was fine - clean, medium-smallish room, decent location - but nothing particularly to write home about.

Date of stay: March 2007
Purpose of stay: Business

June 11 2007: My business partner and I needed somewhere fairly well-located to stay in Boston and this hotel fitted the bill. We had a few problems finding it in the first place (which was our fault), but we got there in the end and checked in. The room wasn't great - kind of a classic hotel interior with nothing that made it unique, but comfortable nonetheless.

The bathroom annoyed me - for some reason, it had been designed so that the toilet basin was right in your way when you walked in, which made it quite hard to manouevre to the sink and bath.

My partner and I seem to have a knack of finding hotels that don't provide breakfasts and this was another! There were some good cafes/shops nearby though so it wasn't a major problem.

Location was the selling point and we navigated our way around Boston easily from here. The reception was also pretty helpful in arranging a taxi for us on the day of depature.

Nothing to phone home about, but it suited us for our 2 night stay.
