The hotel is very clean and the staff are kind. The river view is truly excellent.

Booking.com 3.2

Staff were very friendly with my dog. The room had a good view and a comfortable bed.

Smart TV was inconvenient to control, and heavy traffic makes walking less pleasant.

The shuttle bus to MIT is very convenient and saves time.
