Hawthorn Suites?

[yakshaver.livejournal.com]

Has anyone stayed or had a visitor stay at Hawthorn Suites at Alewife Brook Parkway and Mass Ave? A friend stayed there a few years ago and was reasonably happy, but I don't recall whether he cared about net connectivity, and the person who's visiting in the spring definitely will. The site says "free high speed Internet," but I've known hotels to use that to mean a shared 56k modem line....

Can you call them and ask them directly what type of connection speed they have in the rooms?

My experience calling hotels and asking such questions of the staff is why I asked here first.

We stayed there about a year ago for 2 weeks while they were deleading out apartment. They have high speed internet connnections that are MUCH faster than a 56K modem. The connection we had there was just as fast as my cable modem connection. And to boot the staff was really nice and they had a pretty decent complimentary breakfast. You could even make your own homemade waffles!!

Mmm, waffles. Thanks!

We stayed there last June. The network was fine, though I didn't download large files - but noticed no slowness. The breakfast was good too.
I do understand that the place is undergoing renovations & a name change.

Thanks; I'm recommending it to my friend.
