Summary: The elevator is very slow; if you need it, you're going to spend a lot of time waiting. Other than that, I can't say enough nice things about this hotel. The location is amazing. Within a few minutes walk, you can find the T station, dozens of restaurants, and a walking path along the Charles. The breakfast buffet is kept stocked and has better food than a typical continental breakfast. The room is about average size, with comfortable beds and attractive decor. The whole hotel has a nice (not overdone) patriotic theme with some cool firefighter memorabilia. We will definitely try to stay here again whenever we come back to Cambridge.
