Top Harvard Museum of Natural History Hotel Reviews

Lark Hotels 907 Main

8/10 Good

"There are reportedly mini fridges in "most rooms," but not in mine. I wish I had noticed this before I unpacked everything or I would have asked to switch rooms. If you have medications or fridge needs like I do, make sure and ask beforehand if your room has one. Everything else was great and, even though the room was facing the street, it seems like the windows are soundproof. Between that and the white noise machine in the room, I got great sleep. Cleanliness was excellent. Staff (manager?) said he is working on a QR code for the housekeeping staff but until that is finalized be aware that it was impossible to find an ATM and, once I borrowed cash from a friend, nearly as impossible to find a store that could break or take my $20. Get your cash before you travel to make tipping housekeeping easier."
