Middlesex County Hotels with Parking

The hotel is nice, it's on a hillside and surrounded by hotels, it feels very safe, it takes 20 to 30 minutes to drive to anywhere in Boston by taking the expressway, and the laundry room charges $2 for washing and drying clothes.

My first hotel in the US. The front desk service was pretty average, and breakfast was expensive. There was no microwave. The snowy view outside was nice since it's by the river. It's convenient to walk everywhere; you can easily walk to Harvard and MIT. I'd recommend staying here, though I wish the front desk staff were friendlier. Is this just the typical service level in the US?

Very satisfied! Facilities: Quite new. Hygiene: Not cleaned daily. Environment: Extremely satisfied. Service: In the US, the lobby provides hot water, coffee, and iced lemon water daily. What more could you ask for?!

The room was great. Clean, stocked with all necessary things like shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Would have liked a hairdryer but didn’t see one. The state of the building was a mess though. Major renovations left the first impressions lacking with the “front desk” stuck on the 3rd floor in a conference room. This made dragging my bag through an additional hurdle unhelpful. Renovations are often unavoidable but they should come with informing all guest about them prior to a booking a room. My room looked out onto a huge hole in the ground due to construction on the opposite side of the street. Also not ideal. Views from the lift were nice though.

The location is average and the health status is okay. We were doing business there, so we chose. If you are traveling, it will be more troublesome, because a taxi to the city costs 30 US dollars, and it also costs 30 US dollars to go to Harvard University. There are no slippers and toiletries in the room, which is not found in American hotels, which is very strange. Breakfast is mainly cold meals. Just treat it as an express hotel. Don't compare it with Hilton in China, you will be disappointed.

The hotel I booked for the driver is not too far from the city center. It takes more than an hour to drive there due to traffic jams on weekday mornings. It is OK on weekends when there is no traffic jam and it only takes more than 20 minutes to drive to the city center.

I stayed here in 2018, and this time I stayed here again. It was still a great experience; the rooms were spacious and the hotel was clean. The only downside is that there are no shops nearby, except for a small convenience store on the first floor.

The room amenities are quite new, and the room itself has that standard Marriott style. The breakfast spread was also quite plentiful. The hotel grounds are expansive, and the landscaping is well-maintained. There are both indoor and outdoor pools, but they are rather small and seem more suited for children. I didn't really experience much in terms of service; I found the service level in the US to be somewhat lacking compared to what I'm accustomed to.

Lastly, if you are booking somewhere with a free breakfast because you are looking forward to it, this is not your place. They offered watered down sunny D, water, one type of muffin, bread, cereal, potatoes, gritty watery scrambled eggs, and some kind of “French toast casserole”. Not a yogurt or a meat choice in sight, with a big sign asking you not to bring breakfast to your room. That may be common- but in my opinion I should be allowed to bring back my children or mother a meal if they don’t want to come to the dining room, and if we are responsible enough to order takeout to our room then we must be responsible enough to have a light breakfast as well. For the price point, unappetizing breakfast, and the insect activity; I will next time choose a more franchised option. Sunrise from the room on the lake was a beauty though!

The hotel is conveniently located near the airport, making check-in and check-out easy. The breakfast selection is plentiful, parking is convenient and safe, the bathroom has great water pressure, and the rooms are clean, tidy, and very comfortable. Highly recommended!
