Hotels near Ralph Waldo Emerson Memorial House

"Now that I've stayed here, I'm shocked at the number of reviews which mention "cleanliness" as a positive. I didn't require much. Just needed a basic room with basic amenities. Unfortunately, the walls in my room had peeling paint, the entire carpet had a sticky feel to it, there was a "clean" towel with long hair on it, and there was a big chunk of something left on the floor near the bed... Maybe I got the dirtiest room in the building? The staff were friendly but slow to respond. I stayed 3 days. On day one, I had a hot shower. On days 2-3, my shower was cool to luke warm at best. O made multiple reports to staff with no resolution nor compensation. They are severely understaffed here. I just needed a basic place to stay. Nothing fancy. This place is not fancy, but it's also not clean and when you do have issues, as polite as the staff are, there are just too few of them to assist. You may end up with cold showers. I was so hopeful based on the previous reviews, but I will not be back."

"No problems. Room was clean and ready. We would stay here again. "

"Hillary at the front desk is great! Our room could have used new lampshades - they had noticeable water stains giving a bit of a dingy feel overall."

"Hotel was really dirty . Sign up that said tht they were under construction but def didn’t see any and def not in the area where our room was. The heater was o noisy we didn’t stay the doms night. I’m starting to wonder about Expedia’s hotels have not been having good luck lately!!"

"I didn’t have breakfast because of a scheduled surgery at Mass General across the street. Everything was fine but I didn’t believe that the parking spaces were correct inn width as there was very little space between vehicles even though they were parked correctly between the lines."

"We really appreciated the reception desk manager and also meeting the new hotel manager. If your are a fan of literary history this circa 1716 inn is central to walking adventure. Upscale and very quiet."

"What a great stay! From check in to check out everything was awesome. The rooms were spacious and well thought out. The kids loved the pool which was very clean. The beds and pillows were great for a hotel. Breakfast was nice, it’s more of a leveled up continental breakfast than a “hot breakfast”; but it got the job done and the kids fed. We can’t say a thing bad about our stay! It made us decide we need to look for more Element hotels in our future trips."

"Very nice place to stay "

"I didn’t get room service "
