We just came back from a lovely stay at the Commander. This hotel was built in 1927.

The hotel had 2 weddings this weekend. The clerk said that no suites were available (I'm Platinum), but he had a good room for me.
It was a corner room in the back. Room 319 . This was their oversized king room. At first I was disappointed, but my wife liked it. After 1 minute, I liked it too. The room is decorated in an old world style. Think Sheraton Russell in NY. If you're a W type, this isn't for you. Nice draperies. The Sheraton bed ^ . Internet access.

The room itself was about 200 sq feet. Add to that an entry mini-hallway, and a nice sized bathroom, I think the total is closer to 275 sq feet.
The bathroom is all marble. The shower (no bathtub) is the size of the bathtub. Plenty of room. I loved the glass door.

I had a look/see at the room next door...lets just say I'm glad I have status; because this room was a little bigger than a postage stamp. It made my room look huge by comparison.

No lounge on the weekend, so we received 2 breakfast certs.
Valet parking $18 but I was aware of this beforehand. New Yorkers hate paying for parking.

It's about a 5 minute walk to 'downtown' Cambridge.
This was a cash and points award. Can't complain for the price.
