    I've stayed here before, it's a convenient location when I'm visiting family. This visit it was just ok. The room smelled very dusty. I was glad I had a mini deodorizing spray with me. Towels were rough. Bed & pillows were average comfort, but disliked the lack of a thick comforter. It was pretty quiet and the window shades blacked out most of the daylight. Ample room to lay out your belongings and even to stretch if that's your thing. You have to go to the front desk to ask for ice which was odd IMO. Asked if I could have an empty wine glass from the bar that was closed on Sunday night and I was told only plastic is allowed back up in the room. I did enjoy the Minuteman walking trails that are nearby, but otherwise food or drink is a drive.

    Let me start by seeing any place for a hotel right now during the Covid pandemic scares me. But this place made me feel right at home, right away. From the wonderful woman at the desk on a Saturday night, to just a warm vibe in the place. The hotel was probably pretty empty. I could judge by the parking lot. When you walk in there's funky music playing. Some people have said it's too loud? I thought it was fine. People playing pool, socially distancing, a fireplace in front of me, and a little area to the right of the circular check-in desk that had items to munch on for snacks. I was able to check in very quickly. Given room per my specifications of not being on the first floor, and if I went. The only downside? My room was literally at the end of the hall. So I had to work almost the entire distance of the hotel, but I guess that's OK because it's kind of what I asked for. The room is cool. I like the colors and the design to the room, but it's very very sparse. Which I think is part of the design idea. It's got this weird bench underneath the television. It's hard. Like one that you would use at a campsite. With a thin small cushion only on one side. I'm not sure if it's supposed to have two, and one is gone, or it's supposed to be designed that way. Then the desk is on one side and on the other side of something that looks just like a desk hiding the heating unit. Windows look directly out on the back of the property, in this case, a big high Rockwall LOL. The shades have pole chains, and work very well. To dark in the room? Easy to do. The television is really big. And sort of the center focus of the room as well. The bed was big. It is king size. And I like that it wasn't too bouncy. I feel like it was a newer mattress this way, you know?. White linens complete the look. The bathroom is weird, but laid out nicely. There's a shower stall at one end with a rain shower head. I'm short. So it literally just goes all over me as opposed to on me. Toilet, sink, and then an area that looks like a lock room for your storage for your clothes. I wish they were drawers somewhere in the room. I couldn't see staying here for more than a day or two, due to the storage. Again. Super clean and neat. I liked it. It worked for one night. Which was what I was using it for.

    Same view from farther away to set some context.

    UPDATE 11/6/19 I was contacted by very concerned management at the hotel. They are committed to using this as a training opportunity to raise the awareness of their team for how to handle situations like this. That's really the point and benefit of a review like this. In good faith belief that this will happen I am provisionally changing my previous rating from 1 star to 3 stars. So if you read this, I encourage you to read more recent reviews and see what others say about their experience. Rely on their reviews more than this one. It's not good to ignore problems but it's also not good to make it hard for people to bounce back from them. So here's hoping this was just blip. Subsequent reviews by others will tell that story.

    What a breath of fresh air. I moved away from Boston years ago and I remember when this used to be a Sheraton, back when lots of Sheraton hotels had a faux Colonial theme. I remember it also had an awful restaurant called Dunfy's onsite - it was the kind of lousy classic New England place where they served broiled scrod with tasteless veggies. My grandmother loved that place. Thankfully, the folks at Starwood closed the Sheraton and turned it into an Aloft, which is a hip, minimalist, modern place, sort of like a stripped down W (same owners). The lobby is sleek and modern with a lot of couch-type seating and random decks of cards and board games on coffee tables. There is also a bar which was lively both times I stayed here. The transformation into an Aloft was not a face-lift, the whole place was gutted and everything in the hotel is new. This newness continues on to the rooms. You would think you were in a brand new hotel. The fit and finish is excellent. The rooms are a bit on the small side, so if you are one of those dummies that judges a room for 1 or 2 people by how big the room or the bathroom is, or how many towels you get, you may not like the Aloft. Personally, I go to Europe a lot for work and prefer smaller rooms. That said, it is not cramped by any means and the beds are a proper size. Plus, there is a perfectly large TV on the wall. The service was admittedly on the amateur side: The desk staff of 2 was completely overwhelmed with 3 guests waiting to check in and the bartender was washing dishes or something in the back behind the bar while a couple of people waited endlessly for drinks. Kind of hack, but overall, my stay here was fantastic.

    Clean & modern room and nice staffs. Easy check-in process and plenty of parking space. We've got to stay here to take the flight at Boston Airport early in the morning next day. It took about 15 min to airport without traffic (hotels near airports are a lot more expensive) Budget-friendly and there are many things to enjoy in hotel: indoor pool and fitness room; board games, pool table and bars available at the lobby; walking trail nearby It was perfect place to stay with my 2 years old boy. We enjoyed everything here! Thank you :)

    After reading the mixed reviews for hotel, I can honestly say that I was a bit nervous! However, it turned out to be a great stay. To start, the design and decor of the place is very modern and appealing to the eye. You walk in and it is beautiful and super cool in there! There is a "Welcome to the Jungle" theme and although I'm not usually a fan, this place does it well. It is colorful and vibrant while still looking classy and chic. The front desk staff is extremely helpful and friendly! I enjoyed my interactions with them. As you walk in there is a lounge to the left that has couches/ chairs as well as a pool table for entertainment. There is a bar called W XYZ and it looks quite modern and hip with a large liquor selection. Bar closes at 11 and seems to be popular as there was a decent crowd on the Saturday night I stayed. Unfortunately, I did not get the chance to partake in any bar activities as I had plans and went out that night. The pool is quite small but it is beautifully decorated with nice lounge chairs and tables. Fitness center is fully equipped with all the main machines and looked clean. Now to the room.. I actually loved it! I love how spacious it is. The King bed was extremely comfortable and cozy. At a point in the night it did get kind of cold but I got up and raised the temp.. slept like a baby afterwards! The room was very clean (which is what I was mainly worried about reading the other reviews) and the layout/ decor were very modern and chic. I love the mounted TV and how easy it was to plug in an HDMI. They have a super cool Plug Box composed of many different ports you might need as well as a few charing outlets. This was awesome! The shower was amazing and the full length mirror attached to the bathororm sliding door was perfect.. especially for taking pictures! Room comes with a fridge but there is no microwave. They provide a coffee maker and coffee in the room. No free breakfast which is a bummer, but you do get free coffee during breakfast hours. I'm looking forward to coming back!

Food: Perfectly cooked. Beautiful brunch buffet with very fresh selections. Would have preferred a few more traditional entree selections. Coffee wasn't very good but it's hard to serve fresh brewed coffee on days when it's so busy. Very cute and tasty desserts. Mimosas were fresh and tasty. Atmosphere: Very clean, warm, traditional New England charm. Extremely comfortable seating. Restrooms were equally clean and well kept. Value: Brunch was $300 for the two of us which included a 20% gratuity. You can't really complain about the cost when you know what you're paying beforehand. Paying staff to work Easter Sunday is expensive. Sourcing local ingredients is expensive. Using fresh ingredients is expensive. We view this experience as a one off. Glad we went but at this price it's hard to justify going back again, for Easter anyway. (Regular brunch is far less expensive.) Overall: Couldn't have been much better to be honest. But, wow, pricey for what are essentially breakfast foods.

The owner of the inn, Marilyn, greeted me at the entrance and showed me to my room. The inn is furnished with furniture, art, and artifacts that are representative of colonial New England of the 19th Century with other kinds of art, such as Japanese ukiyo-e prints, Haitian voodoo masks, and 17th Century Persian helmets, scattered about here and there. Walking into my room, I noticed a cat on the 4 poster bed in my room. She was friendly and didn't seem to mind me hanging out with her. http://static.px.yelp.com/photo/gsDWbndD_Nix9s_MOTuYYQ/l The room had teal wallpaper, lots of folk art, a love seat near the roll away desk, and a rattan reading chair by the bed. It was very comfortable, very cozy. I hung out in my room with the cat for a while before going out to downtown Concord for dinner. After dinner I sat in the sitting room downstairs where the fireplace was blazing and I met some of the other guests in the inn. We talked some more in the morning when we ate breakfast in the communal dining room together. Breakfast included your choice of coffee, tea, muffins and other baked goods, a seasonal fruit plate, yogurt, or granola. Rooms at the inn range from $125 - $325 per night depending on the season. After breakfast, I went into downtown Concord to look for an essay by Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance, which I found in a book in my room. In the essay Emerson emphasizes the importance of avoiding conformity and trusting in our own ideas and instincts: "Trust thyself, every heart vibrates to that iron string...." This spirit of individuality and the belief that there is no problem that we can't handle if we apply ourselves to the solution is what attracts me to New England, to Concord, to the Hawthorne Inn. There's a sense of history there where our country was essentially founded, a creative energy burns there also where so many creative thinkers and writers lived. Walden Pond, the Minutemen Park, the old North Bridge where the "first shot heard round the world" was fired are all in Concord. It's worth visiting to remember that "Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. Nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of principles."

The old fashioned was okay, but the coordination between the bar and the kitchen (physically separated by the layout) was off. It took 20+ minutes to get a plate of steamed edamame out, only after a gentle reminder. And when it came, the edamame had been steamed to mush. No firmness left, and the pods were falling apart to the touch. Good overall property and quality rooms; maybe skip the restaurant.
