Top Harvard Art Museums Hotel Reviews

The Atlas Hotel

8/10 Good

"The bathroom lights didn’t work. When informed, the staff were not surprised, suggested I take the key card back outside to reactivate the room. All other lights worked as well as tv. And, having gotten ready for the shower it wasn’t a great time to go back into the public corridor. As the staff were familiar with this problem, I asked them to tell management that readily functioning bathroom lighting is basic, shouldn’t have to be worked for. They were dismissive of this. They have an elevator system that only has buttons at the lobbies, not inside elev cab. Last night there was a confusion of people trying to select their floors, staff had to come and reset the system. Again, an elevator is basic. And, we were charged $40 for wifi and the gym. We had no interest in the gym, being in town to visit family. This cost wasn’t included in the price shown online at booking. I don’t recall another hotel experience when I’ve been asked to pay for WiFi. This ‘tax’ needs further consideration by management. And, $35 per person for breakfast was overpriced. The parking garage was very remote from the hotel itself. We could not see a way to access the hotel from the garage underground. If it had been raining we would have been rained on for that 5 minute walk. That said, the property is pretty, clean, thoughtful, well designed. The bed was comfortable, pillows fluffy, shower hot and good pressure, nice toiletries. I hope the hotel can iron out these annoyances (some expensive)."
