Stayed at this hotel for a wedding nearby...the staff was very friendly and helpful. We must have had 3/4 of the hotel booked up with people from the wedding since they are under construction. After the wedding, we went back for an afterparty and got in a little trouble with some of our neighbors.
Instead of shutting the party down, they offered up a space away from other guests for the group, which was awesome.

Tasty, fast, and cheap! We wandered over here during a lunch break while at a conference and made it back with plenty of time. They also did not have any problem with us paying separately at the register. They do accept credit cards.

I would give it 4 stars, but I'm not really a fan of airports in general.
The security was wicked easy to get through....though they did check my shoes. They were quite nice about it, though.
I did like that there were plugs scattered throughout the area while waiting for my flight.
Coolest thing was a fighter plane of some type took off and the windows are really good for watching that.

Kitschy film about the Battle of Yorktown and a little exhibit area depicting George Washington's tent are inside the Visitor Center, but the cool thing is that you can just walk outside and see the area that the battle was fought. There are authentic cannon right outside the VC and an undisturbed section along the drive.
The drive is cool...but I think it would have been better with the CD you can get from the gift shop. Watch out for the deer!

Just had a conference here the other week and they were pretty decent. It helped that we were there in between school groups, but if you do not like children, then you should stay somewhere else.
We walked into Colonial Williamsburg, probably about a mile? Not too bad.
The bar downstairs was fine and they didn't complain when our hospitality room was full and loud. I was very dissapointed, however, that I did not receive a cookie when I checked in.

Decent place to go, if you go earlier than later. There are parking attendants and people stopping traffic to let pedestrians cross the street, which is actually nice. The pumpkins were 60 cents a pound, so not too bad. Out of the three, though, one is already rotting :(
Also, the cider donuts are ok. If you want delicious ones, go to Smolak Farms in North Andover. Much much better. The cider was pretty good, but a dollar a small container.

Went here for a wedding the other day. The grounds are gorgeous, but do not wear pointy heels as the weddings are outdoors and you will sink into the grass. The food was ok, but service was uneven. My date was without his salad for a good 10 minutes while the rest of us had already been served.
The dance floor is small, but serviceable. We had a lot of tall people and they were almost unable to jump around a lot :)
As others have mentioned, the liquor costs a ton and they don't give you a lot of it unless you get a martini.
The other staff were quite helpful in getting the dress bustle to look nice.

Stayed here for a wedding and had a pretty good time. When we booked our room, the block for the wedding party had sold out and we had to settle for the regular rate, but got the block rate when we checked in. Pretty awesome. I was very sad that the pool was closed (Labor Day) but everything else in the hotel was fine.
Our room had a microwave and a fairly good sized fridge (think college dorm sized). The only thing that really bothered me about the room was the lack of plugs...there were almost no extra outlets in the room except in the base of the lamp and those were fairly loose. Breakfast was tasty (mini waffles!) and the staff was pleasant.

How can you not love a free tour through one of Cambridge's most historic buildings? This year, the Longfellow House has added "Washington's Headquarters" to their title and are now adding in information about George's stay in the Vassell house during the Siege of Boston. There are a lot of really cool items in the house (The Longfellows seem to have been packrats) and photography is allowed, though no flash. Tours are offered multiple times a day from Wed through Sunday and are the only way to see the inside. Short walk from Harvard Square.

Current CrushTom Brady, so cute!
Service was prompt and good...however, the accordion and violinist were obnoxiously loud. We were thinking about paying them to go away.
Food was good, wine was good. Tiramisu was delicious! So light and airy. I would go again just for dessert :)
