Hotels in Somerville

The hotel smelled heavily of cigarette smoke despite being a nonsmoking hotel. The mattresses were old and broken down. There was trash littering the hallway that was never picked up during our stay. The hotel shuttle took nearly an hour to pick us up at the airport and when we left, we had to wait for quite awhile to take the shuttle back because they would only make trips at the top of the hour. The shuttle wasn't in use or anything, we just had to wait for their arbitrary timing, which we weren't informed of in advance. Really, the strong cigarette stench was the worst part -- our pajamas smelled of it the next day and had to be laundered.

We were traveling as a family with a toddler and chose this hotel as a place to sleep off jet lag after a grueling 19-hour flight. In that respect, it was perfect -- convenient to the airport, but quiet at night, with comfortable beds. The location across from the Assembly Outlets was excellent for our purposes. We only had one full day (two nights) and wound up spending our whole stay at the outlets -- although we could have easily taken the T into downtown Boston. With an older child, we might have done so. But for us the outlets were fine. The breakfast was pathetic, definitely your cheap-motel-off-the-highway-exit fare. If it had truly been a CHEAP motel off the highway exit, I wouldn't have complained -- but for 200 bucks a night, honestly, you'd expect something better. By comparison, we stayed at a Hilton in downtown Amsterdam for 200 EUROs a night (so maybe 20% more expensive) -- but with a breakfast that was light years better. As for the shuttle, it was a bit disappointing, in that it only made the run out to the airport once an hour. That left us sitting at the terminal bus stop for 40 minutes on arrival. The hotel staff was nice enough, but their directions on how and where to catch the shuttle could have been clearer. Also, there was no room service and no in-hotel restaurant. So overall, pretty mediocre.

Nähe zum Kongresszentrum Ich hatte vom 30.Mai an ein vorausbezahltes Zimmer für 4 Nächte. Da mein Flug überbucht war kam ich erst in der Früh am 31. im Hotel an.Mein Zimmer war vergeben obwohl ich am 30. anrief und mitteilte, daß ich erst am 31. in der früh ankäme. Man teilte mir mit, das nur 3 Nächte verrechnet würden und die 1.Nacht an meine Kreditkarte refundiert würde. Bis jetzt ist noch nichts dergleichen passiert.

Lage

Die Lage war gut, mann konnte alles schnell erreichen. Die Hotelbar hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Wenn man historische Häuser und Plüsch mag ist es ok Es war uns zu altertümlich und die Zimmer besonders das Badezimmer viel zu klein, besonders wenn man den Preis bedenkt. Das Personal nicht besonders freundlich und hilfsbereit und das bei einem 5 Sterne-Haus.

Das Hotel selbst war in Ordnung. Die Zimmer sind sehr klein.
