(This is on behalf of members of the retreat planning team of Moishe Kavod House)…read more We had our annual retreat at Friendly Crossways. It was a wonderful place for our community to come together, be out of the city, and relax! Mary Helan was SOO very very helpful in for months in advance of the retreat, during the retreat and post retreat. She was wonderful to work with and extremely patient. The facility was beautiful and allowed for a variety of activities, including a huge outdoor field! Overall, it was a wonderful weekend, and we really enjoyed the space.

I recently attended a wedding at the Friendly Crossways and although I had a great weekend with…read morefamily and friends, I think my perspective is different than most of the previous reviewers. As others mentioned there were no other options close by in the Harvard area to stay, so we decided to stay on site (even though I tried to find alternative arrangements). We arrived on Friday and found our room, which had only twin beds (the same for almost all rooms) but were yet to receive our linens (sheets/towels/pillow cases). We did get those later and as another reviewer mentioned they were very worn. You could also not bring in your own pillows or linens (as I had brought) and the party would be fined if they saw you doing so. The bathroom/showers which I saw were pretty outdated and dingy (except the ones near the front door which appear to be newer). They weren't unclean, but were just in desperate need of some TLC. We were also informed of a strict 5 minute shower policy which there are signs posted for in the bathroom. As most have said, it is very much a DIY venue, even so far as to washing your own dishes throughout the weekend. We did help out with a lot throughout the weekend which was fun helping our friends set up their wedding and be a part of it, but many times we would need to ask Mary or Keith (the owners of the property) for assistance or direction with a given task. Most of the time they were very friendly and helpful, but not all the time. I certainly understand they have a job to do, and tasks the Bride/Groom set up for them, and that helping me wasn't on their priority list, but at least be a little bit pleasant because we are paying you to be there. I would have to agree that the food they provided was excellent, and they were able to meet the needs of many dietary issues in our group. If I was reviewing only their food it would be 5 stars, no question. They used fresh ingredients and were very passionate about what came out of the kitchen. The other issue was the firewood. We were lectured that it was to be a "camp fire" and not a "bonfire". We were only provided with about 6 tiny pieces of wood to keep the fire going for our allotted 2 hours...and NO wood was to be put on after 11pm as the fire had to be completely out by midnight... It was nice to be able to just walk back to my room after the wedding/reception. The ceremony was beautiful set back under the trees on the lawn. If you are looking for a DIY wedding where you have to do just about everything for set up and break down then this is probably your place.

I actually really enjoyed this little area, there was a great shopping center that was just across the way with lots of options. The rooms were nice and had a little couch seating area and a fridge and microwave which is always nice for a long stay like my fiancé had. I also loved the downstairs area. I went and worked down there on my laptop one of the days in a comfy couch that had its own little tv to watch something too. I'm also a big person about AC in hotel rooms and this one did live up to my normal expectations because I like a cold room. If you are staying in this area definitely a great spot to stay.

Stay away!! Carpet was filthy. Felt like i was walking on sludge…read more Bathroom floor was sticky. Went to the restaurant for dinner and ordered a burger. I was told you can only get it well done. Red flag went up. The burger was like a Bubba burger. It was disgusting. I left a review with the hotel only to be debated and challenged on the issues. I called the Marriott complaint line only to be laughed at and then the woman would not give me her name and hung up on me. I called back, got someone else named "carol" on the phone. As I'm explaining the issues to her, under her breath she utters " oh my god". I called her out on the comment and she didn't apologize, just told me to take it up with the hotel. I thought I was when I called the complaint line. I've stayed in hotels though out the country and many other countries. This was by far the worst stay ever. Never again!! Room 329 if no one believes me. Let me know what your socks look like after walking on the carpet.

Also saw a computer room if you want to use (and print documents, not sure if free to print though) There is a strong sulfur smell at the entrance and near the pool area. They have a gym, pool and hot tub on the first floor. Super safe as all rooms require your room key to access. Leave your bath towels in your room as there are plenty of swim towels at the pool. One nuisance is that my room had a tough time reading card key. No issues entering other areas but I went to the front desk 4x to reset. Breakfast included (bacon, sausages, scramble eggs, cereal, fruits) Breakfast starts at 5am on weekdays but 7am on the weekends.

We made arrangements prior to check in for a late checkout due to our schedule. When we arrived we…read morewere charged for a late checkout-- which fine, but also as Hilton Honors members have never been charged for late check out before. The Hilton app very clearly stated our checkout was at 2pm. The front desk started harassing us at 1:20pm about vacating the room. Were even further delayed by no hair dryer in the room (which is listed as an amenity & expected in a hotel room). Staff stood right outside our door and conversed loudly for 20+ minutes as we rushed to get out of the room-- which we PAID for until 2pm!!!! Never made mention of the gangs of boys (10+ kids at a time) in soccer uniforms running at full speed & screaming through the halls unsupervised for at least an hour+. Would probably have been a better use of staffs' time to take care of that situation. Do not recommend!

We were last here some three years ago - the place remains as it was…read more About a week ago when we were staying at the Inn four went to the dining room for breakfast, ordering different dishes. One person had a very tasty Hot Veggie Mess (as the name implies a mix of different vegetables); another had an All American (eggs, bacon, done right. This was accompanied by a Cran Muffin. I had a perfect Classic Eggs Benedict with additional bacon. Drinks included orange juice, hot tea,and Cappuccinos. The total came to $84 not including the tip (worth it).

My boyfriend and I spent a night at the Samuel Fitch House this past weekend, and it was fantastic…read more The website does not do it justice! The house itself is a 300-year-old farmhouse that has been owned by only 5 families throughout its history. Most of the original structure remains today, giving the place an authentic rustic feel -- not kitchy, like so many other bed & breakfasts. The hostess is cheerful and charming, and more than happy to give you a tour of the grounds (including a tunnel in the basement that was part of the underground railroad!). For us, she made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies fresh upon arrival. We stayed in the Carriage House, which really is a bargain for the space. The two-story suite includes a fireplace, kitchenette, television, desk, couch, armchair, and small table with two chairs. This is in addition to an outdoor porch attached to the unit, and the beautiful upstairs bedroom (with air conditioning). Breakfast was delectable, made exactly to our preferences, and served on a screened-in porch overlooking the gardens. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! I'd definitely stay here again, and would absolutely recommend this to any couple looking for a quick getaway from Boston.

She will make your visit what you wish... if you want the historic tour, you'll get it! If you want privacy and peace and quiet, she'll just be there when you need her. The house has wonderful character and charm and so much history. The fire was roaring when we arrived and the entire visit felt like a special getaway for us from work and the kids, even if it was only a few towns away. I would go just for breakfast if I could, homemade and delicious.

Parking was plentiful, and rooms were nice. The front desk staff were the most friendly of folks that I have ever encountered, and the breakfast options, which are included, were perfect to get the day started. There is a short trial behind this hotel that I really had hoped to be able to adventure into, but as I traveled in winter, daylight was limited. The only negatives of this hotel were the over hot heater and underhot shower temperatures. Perhaps folks don't have the same need as I do to scald my soul during showers, but alas, my California blood needs to boil to start my day. Overall, I would definitely stay here again!

We stayed less than 24 hours but I could easily spend a few days here without an issue. Fully stocked kitchen with a conventional oven and full size fridge. Basic kitchen ware and utensils. The complimentary breakfast was full of hearty and healthy options. Fantastic job by the staff keeping everything stocked and clean. My only issue was the two bedrooms were supposed to have two queens and one bedroom only had a full. I drew the short straw and got that bed but since sleeping solo, it wasn't a huge issue. BUT- I do think you should get the room with the amenities in your reservation. Staff was helpful, checking in was a breeze and the whole property was pretty spotless. I'd book again.
