I can't say enough about my stay at this location. From the moment we walked in, the staff at the front desk were professional, personable, and accommodating. The decision to reserve a room at this location turned out to be the best decision ever! The entire hotel is made up of suites, so it includes a full size refrigerator/freezer, microwave, stove top (no oven), pots & pans, silverware, utensils, dishes and glasses. There is a coffee maker included, but we brought our own with us. The suite we were in included a separate bedroom with queen size bed, a living area with pull out sofa sleeper, a dining bar with chairs, and a desk with chair. I was impressed with the Pet Walk, they definitely mean it when they say they are pet friendly. The location is excellent, there is a Wegman's grocery store and a wonderful group of high end shops within a 2 minute walk. The shops include a nail salon, a huge bowling alley w/restaurant, an ice cream shop, a morning/brunch bakery, and several other restaurants. There is a lot of outside seating and decorative plants, making the area a real pleasure to relax in. There is a beautiful park with walking trails about 10 minutes away (by car) and the drive from the hotel to the Longwood Medical area was typically about 35 minutes each way. The hotel included a self-service laundry room and an exercise room with everything from treadmills to free weights. Wonderful place to stay!
