The only unfortunate thing was that there computer systems were down when we arrived and they were not able to check anyone in.

We just operated our Analyst Day at this hotel. The convention services staff where very good, attentive and had good ideas. It's is a good business hotel, nothing too fancy, one of the better hotels in this neighorhood and gets alot of business from Harvard. Their room rate is a bit high. They worked hard to accommodate all our last minute requests and were always very pleasant. The only issue was the wireless internet access which is a available, but not the best set-up.
