The Row Hotel at Assembly Row, Autograph Collection

8/10 Good

"Rooms are comfortable and well equipped. The sofa in the room does not face the TV which makes it hard to watch the TV from anywhere but the bed. You can hear the other room doors shut and it’s quite loud, along with people in adjoining rooms in the night."

Hotel 1868

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel - very clean, good water pressure and cute room"

Porter Square Hotel

8/10 Good

"Pros: Excellent staff; super convenient location; wonderful and comfortable bed, lots of pillows; awesome shower pressure; great AC. Cons: Small shower/toilet area, so if you’re a bigger person, the bathroom might be uncomfortable. Thin walls; I could hear normal conversation next door, etc. No mini fridge in room, communal one in basement. Run down in small locations in the room like wallpaper peeling."

Irving House At Harvard

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay for a couple days"

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Boston Medford

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice are and good hotel. Nice 2nd floor amenities for breakfast and working. Very comfortable. Found the art on the wall in the room a bit strange, like some Salem witch worked on the hangars."
