“What strikes me is its central location in Cambridge, near Parker's Piece Park and the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology. The redesign by John Simpson and Martin Brudnizki seems to respect the building's history, while Parker's Tavern, the hotel's culinary spot, seems promising.”

Underwhelming Stay. Service Gaps and Room Issues
missing bathtub chaotic breakfast
I booked a superior room expecting certain amenities. I was let down. My room lacked a bathtub. This was important to me. Also the breakfast was very chaotic. Finding a table seemed like a competitive sport, and there was a queue for everything, it was not relaxing at all.

The staff was helpful and efficient. I guess that's something.
I had booked a superior room. but there was no bath tub. i had pre-ordered pillows, also as a marriott member. they were nowhere to be seen. Talk about disappointing! breakfast was a complete fiasco, and i won't stay here again or even consider the autograph brand.
