Was conveniently located near Mount Auburn Hospital where my daughter was having surgery. That was the only good thing about it. Most of the hotel is being renovated. we had to change rooms as the bathroom door didn't close. The room they moved us to had no heat and had paint dust everywhere. The cooktop was shattered, the provided hair dryer full of white paint and dust, the freezer door stuck and the dishwasher was not properly attached to the wall. Staff addressed the heat, but not the paint dust. We left a day early and drove home after my daughter's surgery as we did not feel comfortable there. I have stayed in Homewood Suites in other locations and found them great. I would not recommend the Arlington, MA location. Overpriced and very disappointing.
