Pros: The breakfast was a delightful addition to my stay. The afternoon "tea" was appreciated as well. The rooms as always are neat and clean, the staff exceptional.

Pros: I'm not a breakfast eater so the issue wasn't important--I did eat a muffin which was delicious. The location of the B&B was great--easy to walk or take public transportation. The room was quiet and comfortable; the staff really friendly and helpful.

The location is perfect as it is very close to Mass Ave, mass transit, stores, Harvard and its attractions, and of course, family living nearby.
Cons: Disappointed in the problem with the TV which was never able to be resolved during my stay. I was able to do a phone vidio of the problem and shared it with several people after they had it inspected during the day and felt it was working fine. The problem occured in the evenings after I returned from my family visits, so the video was able to confirm that there WAS a problem. I wish a minor refund had been offered, as I spent from around 7-7:30 pm on in the room each night and would have liked to watch TV.

9,7 Excellent
Pros: Location was excellent. The room was very nice and comfortable. Excellent farm to table restaurant and bar.
Cons: Although they had a parking garage, the elevator to the lobby was out of order so you had to take the stairs and the stairs lead to outside the front entrance. Very inconvenient if carrying any bags from the car and also because of sub-zero temps that weekend. Also no in and out access for self parking at $40 per night. If you leave you have to pay again.

Pros: Room service very fast, and extremely polite room service staff. Beleaguered front desk staff dealing with irate guests kept their patience. They need more support from mgmt. Restaurant is good; really good coffee in lobby in early a.m.
Cons: Multiple, extended power outages occurred; Hotel said due to construction, not their fault--yet construction was on their premises. Fire? alarm problems, PA messages = epic fail. Insufficient instruction to guests. Requested wakeup call--did not receive.

Cons: Only downside was location and some old shower facilities (no mold or rust or leaky stuff, it was just worn and old, you could tell there was a difference between the brand new sink and the old fashioned shower head that you could easily dislodge from the wall). I can kind of see why the price is so low, but honestly those were the only downsides, and they're not bad at all given what else you're getting for the price.

Pros: The decorum, the staff, the breakfast, and the little extra touches such as the framed daily weather report next to the guest book and free postcards and postage.
Cons: The size of room was a bit small, however, our bathroom was en suite so I suppose that was a fair trade off.

Pros: Excellent breakfast (Although it was the same exact breakfast for seven days.)
Cons: No modern air conditioning; description states air conditioning. Found no room a/c vents;Hallways at 75 degrees; staff said air could not be adjusted. Rooms- hot and stuffy;must open windows at night;given a loud fan to cool off the room. Miserable.

Cons: Room ran a little on the cold side as it was centrally controlled. But the room came with an additional heater which was handy. No lift - request a ground floor room if you can’t deal with plenty of stairs. Room was small and not possible to open 2 suitcases while letting anyone walk around.

The environment is peaceful, quintessentially Cambridge, and the house itself has the air of a well-loved old friend - a bit shabby on the edges, intelligent, welcoming, authentic.
Cons: The breakfast room could easily be brightened up with decent placemats, better tea and coffee making, thorough cleaning of shelves. I did actually complain about the quality of the breakfast food when I was there, and the management responded immediately and efficiently. I asked for a partial, reasonable refund, which was given. The management said the regular breakfast person was on holiday and they would address the problem (which was obvious, but not worth mentioning here).

Pros: Good location. Good breakfast. Responsive staff.
Cons: Due to high winds the property lost power for two of our three nights. Staff tried valiantly to deal with the situation but could only do so much. They did make an appropriate adjustment to our bill. Guests need to bring earplugs or use the ones the property provides because lovely old homes have thin walls.

Pros: The location is great, the room seemed good enough
Cons: There was an intermitent issing noise coming from the radiator throughout the night, which did not help my sleep, and the flush did not work reliably, so that I had to manually adjust the mechanism inside the cisterne a couple of times. There was little choice for breakfast and the pastries were stale, which was very disapointing.

Pros: location, location, location, and price.
Cons: Entire experience felt like some college guys rented out the bottom floor of their fraternity house so they could make some cash to throw parties. Bathroom was way too small (room, sink, shower). Decor could be described as "garage sale." Comfortable bed

Cons: Arrival was a bit annoying in that the front desk person was not available for about ten minutes and the front door was locked, so I had to wait on the porch for this person to return from whatever he was doing. That should not happen

Pros:
Cons: I can't rate Chez Pat's condition. I found it on the website and it was available. I booked it. 24 hours later I got an email stating that it was NOT available and had to scramble for a hotel.
