This area is expensive from what I’m told, and the price was definitely reflected when booking our stay. However, the hotel went above and beyond to provide us every service we could’ve ever asked for including yoga mats. And they did so in a timely and very easy manner. This hotel is also easy walking distance from most walking tours that you would complete in the Boston area and there was a couple of really nice breakfast spots located right around the corner. If the price wasn’t so high, I would absolutely stay here again, but would definitely look for something a little bit more affordable in the same neighborhood.

Liked: Amenities
The location is very good for proximity to historical sight seeing and many restaurant choices. A short walk to the Arlington MBTA subway station provides a brief ride to Fenway Park. Unfortunately we experienced small bugs in our room. Not sure if they were fleas or some other type of bug. They allow pets to stay at the hotel so it could be related to that. We made management aware and they switched rooms for our last two nights. Our stay was a total of 5-nights, Followup correspondence from hotel management informed us that they had Ecolab come to investigate the room. Ecolab claimed that they did not find any issues. That response puzzled me, as I know that we showed pictures of what we found to the hotel desk staff. Maybe the bugs left the room when we did !?!
