We stayed here for a weekend with our dog and really enjoyed ourselves. Everyone was so accommodating, and our little dog loved meeting so many friends.
Pros:
# Friendly and effective staff.
# Our dog got his own bowls, treats, and bed. There's a small park next door for him, and a bit further he went for several walks by the Charles River.
# Room comfortable.
# Free wine hour very lovely.
# Gym with up to date equipment (be it a small gym).
# Right next to the mall where you can go to CVS, food court, and shopping.
Cons:
# Parking is expensive ($20 a night) and there is a lack of street parking in the area.
# Restaurant in the hotel is expensive and lacking.
# No swimming pool.
# Location: While the mall is okay and literally next door, there is a T stop around the corner, and you are right by the river (beautiful views), this certainly is not a hot/fun place to be. There are few good eats in the area, but if you want to go out or have a variety of places to eat, you'll have to walk a lot (1-2 miles) or take transport.
Overall we had a great stay and really enjoyed ourselves. We wanted to explore Cambridge a bit, but the immediate area was not that interesting. However transport is nearby. We would definitely come back, given the very dog friendly nature of this hotel.
