We had no air in our room and they refused to move us until they cld fix. It was never fixed. Coffee pot didn’t work. The breakfast food was old and stale. The two girls at front desk extremely rude each time. They didn’t clean your room during entire stay or bring toilet paper, Kleenex or soap entire stay. Only two towels and no clean ones

This hotel filters a scent throughout the hotel to mask moldy air coming out of the HVAC system. All staff were complete unhelpful and completely absent of customer service skills. Stay very far away from this hotel. There's a Marriott a few blocks away that is clean with friendly staff.

Perfect location for college tours. Best price compared to other hotels in the area. Friendly staff, every interaction warm and professional. Clean. Beautiful lobby with comfortable furniture. Good continental breakfast with plentiful coffee and well-chosen items like Chobani yogurt and almond milk. Convenient water station with hot, cold, sparkling, and ambient choices. We chose a room with a separate bedroom and foldout couch in living space. Sleeper sofa wasn't great, as expected, but comfortable enough for smaller sized adults (5'3" and under). Bed was very comfy apparently. Better lighting in the living room would be nice. Counter with sink, keurig coffee maker, and mini fridge was useful. First time at a Sonders hotel. If others are like this one in Brookline, we'll stay again. Hotel concept makes good sense. It's not the Ritz Carlton and it's not Motel 6. Our two room layout reminded us of Embassy Suites. But the hotel is more fun and stylish. Fantastic location.

Good but not amazing
The Good: excellent location right on the T green line with nice walkable and safe area with good food options. The hotel is nicely appointed and modern. The rooms are clean and the beds are comfy. Does include continental breakfast although pretty limited and no real hot options. The nightly price was better than city hotels (there was some sort of race going on and prices were insane that weekend). The bad: parking onsite is very expensive BUT there is ample street parking (metered) and close cheap lot on center St. We had a specific issue was not resolved. The heater was on to 75deg and we could not bring the temp down to a more comfortable temp. We spoke to front desk the 2nd night and maintenance did go and changed the filter but this did not fix the issue. The next day I went again to front desk and they said they would have someone come again. We went out the whole day and came back to the same problem despite maintenance did “something”. I requested a room change but this was not possible and was offered fans and a discount. I did not sleep 2 of the 3 nights due to the room being so hot. It was 60s outside and I would have been happy to open a window and be done but they are sealed. The staff was nice about the issue but I would have preferred the issue be fixed or have been moved so we could sleep instead of the discount.

Cramped & chaotic breakfast scene.
This hotel is very conveniently located near public transit, which was great. The hotel is clean and comfortable. Many of the rooms have windows that face the inner hallways, not the outdoors, which seemed a bit odd to me. Breakfast is included in the hotel fee, but navigating breakfast was a nightmare. The breakfast food area is much too small for the number of people being served. Food is in stations with narrow walking areas between stations. People were nearly bumping into each other all the time. Additionally, items were placed in odd & cumbersome places. An example, spoons were not near the cereal station but next to the juice cups. It sounds like a small thing, but it is annoying. Especially since looking from afar, the breakfast food looks so appealing. They are in great need of a good interior designer revamping their breakfast space. We will not be back.

The Arcadian was great! It was very clean and the breakfast was excellent. My only complaint is that the bathroom was a little small and outdated, but the room was very nice. Parking was not cheap, but I appreciate that they had a garage, given its proximity to city center. I will definitely stay here again!

Interesting concept- interior motel feel
Staff at check-in were most helpful and friendly and I turned up at about 1 a.m. cool concept hotel with a funny drive up feel. Breakfast was a bit odd with awkward and silent people milling about. Maybe So background music would help the vibe.
