Summary: It was disappointing to learn that their fine restaurant was closed. Also, and I don’t understand why this has to be so difficult, there was terrible lighting in the bathroom, which made it impossible to apply make up with any reliability. At the very least the hotel needs to upgrade the bathroom lighting.

Summary: The hotel was very nice with an unusually large room, creative, inventive decor on firehouse themes, a good, varied breakfast (with a few vegan options) and helpful staff. It's also close to the Kendall T, coffee shops and good walking. A great first stay. Would stay again.

Summary: The front desk service was warm, friendly, and accommodating. They apologized upfront from Hotels.com's sneaky fine print extra fee of $30 that they said almost no one sees until they're taken by surprise. They offered to bring us a roll-a-way bed for my son for FREE because they felt bad. They were all so very kind. The room, however, was a different story. The view was of a brick building 15 feet away. The AC didn't work on a hot day and it was like a sauna in there. My son and I had trouble sleeping because it was so hot. And the bathroom reeked of a combination of urine and mildew, and the shower curtain was covered in a straight line of black mildew (or mold?) along the bottom. For over $500 a night, which was a really rare treat for us, I expected something so much more comfortable.
