I couldn't hear people at the table let alone the rest of the event. The server asked how I wanted the steak, which was fine. They didn't serve it even close to how it was requested and it wasn't worth trying to have a discussion or question it given the environment. In a small group it might be better. Perhaps there will be another visit in the future.

Had a fun experience at Cary Hall seeing American Idol legends Clay Aiken and Ruben Studdard…read more I had no idea that this venue with so much history was right in my backyard. It was built in the 1920s, and the character still oozes from the building. They've made some renovations, but have kept it mostly original which I appreciate. The actual chairs are still everywhere expect for the orchestra seating, and they are sooo comfy. Trivia question: The seats have a wire rack underneath, what was it used for back in the day? Shout out to one of the ushers for this fun question. (I won't spoil the answer). Now, because it is historic, there are some things it doesn't have. One being no screens like at most concert venues. This wasn't too big a deal since the hall is not huge, but something to point out. Also can't bring food or drink inside the space to protect its historic value, which didn't bother me to be honest. This hall is also nice because due to the size, there really isn't a bad seat in the house. The side balconies aren't head on with the stage but it didn't seem to be an issue. I sat in the loge and for being furthest away, I had a clear view. They also had a cash bar in the foyer with drinks and snacks. I liked this venue because it was a quaint space, and it felt like I was going to a live theater, rather than a huge concert. It's classy and makes for a fun night out. I would love to come back and see the Lexington Symphony play here.

I don't visit the area much, but the few times I did, and wanted a quick cocktail, the place was closed, waaaaaay before midnight. Then the desk told me they "always" close at 11pm. Whatever it's a stupid little bar which is probably meant for people attending conferences staying at the hotel looking for 4-5:30 happy hour. But really I can't even imagine that. Not that I was looking for a dance party, was just kinda hoping to use a functional hotel bar, ie; a place that could give me even one cocktail! This is the third time I have found this place not open at all different times. They should just stop advertising it as part of the property or turn it into something else. I probably won't stay there again, not cause I was so excited about their stupid little bar, but because it was advertised as an amenity and it simply is NOT. Oh and the hotel isn't great either. The Element across from it is SO much nicer.

I was…read moreconcerned about the snowstorm, and he instantly started looking it up on his phone to reassure me that it won't be so bad. I had a couple of questions during check-in , and he had all the answers and let me know how to smoothly recheck in if I need to. He was so accommodating to my preferences that I checked in late and so my room preferences. The gentleman that came to change the pillows only spoke French. I used my Google Translate, but it's always so cool to be able to interact in different languages. The service at this hotel is just super great. Checking into a hotel is either for business pleasure or a necessity, so for either of those reasons, you always want to have a smooth transition and then a comfortable one. This hotel exceeded my expectations. Where it's located doesn't seem like the most ideal place and you wouldn't expect it to look so nice and modern but it is it has a pool, free parking, a gym and another Marriott owned hotel across from it. There is a bar in the lobby and really is just a gorgeous hotel. I rarely hand out five stars, but if I do or when I do, it's because from beginning to end, I couldn't find one thing negative to say. So I'm always happy and ecstatic when I can get the opportunity to use all five stars. The showers are the best part. The water stays hot and gets really hot. The shower head covers your whole body. They have toiletries in the shower, shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel. not cheap crappy stuff, actual good stuff that smells delicious. I stand corrected. One minor dislike the heat/ AC blows really loud, and there is a way to adjust the fan speed. However, that could just be a personal thing. It may not be something that bothers someone else Oh, and don't let me forget the best part. The rate per night is super affordable. And if you have points, this is probably one of the few locations close to Boston that's under $22,000 points. I'm sure the rate also depends on the availability and rate. Conveniently located close to I-95 & route 2. It's actually right outside the parking lot

Poorly designed rooms provided no dresser or closet. There are exposed shelves, and a pole to hang clothes. The pole was so high that my 83 year old husband had to climb on a chair to reach it. Does this even pass safety standards? For nearly $400 a night we got two paper cups for shared coffee and bathroom use. The electric and USB outlets are inconvenient and require climbing under the night tables to use. There are no lamps other than two little ones mounted on the bed. The electric outlet at the sink does not work.There is no exhaust fan in the shower area. The shower door leaked. The shampoo holder is broken so the bottle kept falling to the floor. There was no daily room tidy service or trash pickup. The toilet world not flush and had to be repaired. Aside from two bartenders, the lobby staff were surly and unhelpful. On two occasions, nobody answered the phone when I called the front desk. On our last night there, someone on staff started a construction project in the office space next to our room at 9:30 p.m. hammering, pounding, wiring while we were trying to get sleep for our early flight the next morning. I cannot recommend this hotel.

This is the kind of place where you don't feel like you're in Waltham anymore. We saw lots of sheep, some chickens, and a rooster. Apparently there's tours you can go on and a gift shop you can browse in but we only went to the farm animals. :)

The house itself is such a beautiful backdrop, and the surrounding gardens and rolling lawns add so much natural beauty. There really isn't a bad place for a picture here! The Pierce House is a very "DIY" venue, but that's what my fiance and I were looking for. I felt like they were very upfront from the beginning about what they would and would not provide - they made it clear that they would basically provide the space and we would provide everything else. This was perfect for us since we wanted freedom in choosing our vendors and didn't want a pre-packaged hotel deal. The only vendor you have to use is their tent rental company (Come Rain or Shine) for the outdoor tent and dance floor, but I found them to be very easy to work with. Nancy, the manager at Pierce House, was very responsive and helpful - we even showed up unannounced one weekend months before our wedding to show the venue to my parents, and Nancy welcomed us and gave us a full tour. Her assistant, Laura, also stepped in to help during the final walkthrough with our caterer. You will need to hire a separate wedding coordinator, but it's nice to have Nancy on hand to answer venue-related questions. Overall, we were very pleased with Pierce House, and our guests were definitely wowed by the house and gardens. It's a great spot!

It's a space with simple elegance and a rustic charm. This is a real boat club with members who join because they love sailing. The annual Head of the Charles and other regattas are big deals here. But it's good news that the space can be rented out for weddings and other events because it's really pretty cool. The bride and groom of the wedding we attended are both avid sailors and so this place has special meaning to them. I love that there is both indoor and outdoor space here so if you luck out and have good weather, your guests can go out to the expansive deck or down to the water's edge. We had a sunny, perfect late afternoon and so guests wandered freely in and out. You can hire whatever caterer and bar service that you would like which I think is a terrific option when hosting any kind of party. It's a great way to control the quality of the food and not be locked into anything you're not 100% sure of. I'm also told you can't charge for alcohol at this site and must have an open bar; to that I say: "Amen". I am not a believer in hosting guests at a wedding where there is a cash bar. You wouldn't charge people for drinks if you invited them to your home so it's never made sense to me to do it a wedding. So for events held here, it's not a debate: it's an open bar although of course you choose what to serve. There was plenty of room for both dining and dancing in two separate but totally adjacent inside areas. One side was the dining area and the other was for the cocktail hour and mingling, later for the live band and dancing. Although the Boat Club can be a bit tricky to find event though it's a Cambridge address, it is well worth considering if you're planning a wedding especially if you want a place that is unique.
