Perfect perch
Came from our of town to see a play, then stay overnight. Perfect perch for anything in Cambridge. Loved the view from our room, though windows could be cleaner.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
The room was very nice. Soft very comfortable bed. Nice water flow to the showers. If traveling for vacation, this would be a very nice option. But the hotel is not set up for business travelers. Unfortunately the internet here is so so so slow @ 0.58MB/s and struggling to reach 1.94MB/s. They should have just declared that there was no reliable internet. Impossible to stream videos or make video calls. Given how much everyone relies on internet access, not sure why they would have such slow internet just to save a buck.
