TravelPod Member ReviewsResidence Inn Boston Cambridge
The Residence Inn at 6 Cambridge Center is just 2 short blocks from the Kendall Square T. The studio room with full kitchen was terrific! I used the gym in the morning and found everything I needed there. If you have usiness in Cambridge or need an apartment style accomodation in Boston, nothing beats this Residence Inn!

Historical Traveler Reviews Residence Inn Boston Cambridge
Great Experience
This is a great location for anyone who is traveling to Boston. The hotel is a 5 minute walk from the T and it is very safe. The breakfast was terrific. The hotel is clean and the rooms are great for couples or families.
Room Smelt like an Ashtray and the Front Desk could not have cared any less!
This was one of the nastiest hotels I've ever stayed in. I checked in at 7:00PM and when I arrived in my room it had a disgusting smell. I called the front desk and was told that the room was a smoking room. I asked for a non-smoking room, (as I booked), but was told that there were none available.
The front desk were extremely dismissive of my problem; they did not offer any apologies or suggest resolution. They offered to send up some air fresheners - I declined and said that I'd open the windows. When I tried to open the windows but they were locked to only open about 4 inches. I called down to the front desk and asked them to do something. The next thing I know the door to my room opens, (without maintenance knocking), and in walks someone that did not speak English with an ozone machine. As far as I could work out he was not allowed to run the ozone machine with me in the room because it was harmful. He kept asking me to go out of the room which I was not willing to do given that I had work to do and had just arrived. Bottom line was that he ended up leaving without any resolution.
I appreciate that sometimes they run out of non-smoking rooms but it is unreasonable to expect someone to pay $281.00 per night for a room that smelt like an ashtray. I am sitting in the room right now and my eyes are actually watering which I assume is because of the residual smoke in the room. The sooner I can check out in the morning the better.
Also - There was no network cable in the room. I called the front desk and then waited 45 minutes before calling again to eventually get a cable sent up.
Residence Inn a winner
We stayed for a weekend in December - had a 2 bedroom suite - it was very spacious. Hotel was very clean, staff was friendly and accomodating. The complimentary breakfast was very nice - they had a wide variety and it was kept well stocked - they never ran out of anything. Will definitely look for this brand next time we're in need. The coffee and popcorn in the room were great extras. Location is just a half a block from the subway, so we didn't have to spend any money on cabs. The hotel had coffee, tea, and cocoa available all the time. The pool and spa were clean and enjoyable. Although we didn't cook, we enjoyed the refrigerator and ice maker in our room. The hotel keeps snacks, sodas and water available for purchase in the lobby at a reasonable price. It was overall a big hit with every member of our party.
Solid Pick
I stay here frequently. It can get pricey during busy times, but if you can pay under $200 it's a solid pick. Good rooms, good staff, good service, and the typical Residence Inn amenities (e.g. breakfast, evening snack).
Very good
Don't think twice about it. If you can get a room under $200 then this is an excellent value for the area. I was on a 3 night vacation and used the T (subway) and cabs for all my travel. Both are very convenient to this hotel. I imagine they cater to business people during the week. You are 3 stops away from central Boston on the T, which is less than 5 minute walk away (cut through the lobby of the Marriott next door and you are there). There is a also a large Starbucks on the ground level of the hotel. No complaints at all about this facility and I have stayed in literally hundreds of Marriots.
Perfect Location
My wife and I wanted to stay in Cambridge-near Harvard Square, the North End, etc., and chose this hotel near MIT. It was a block from the "T" station and was perfect for our weekend adventure. The room was spacious and the breakfast was excellent. We avoided hefty parking fees by parking in Alewife and riding the subway into Kendall Square(where this hotel is located). Overall a wonderful experience at this Marriot. I would stay there again in a " New York" minute!!!
No disappointments
Our family stayed at the Residence Inn Cambridge over the Thanksgiving holiday. We were not disappointed. Our room was large and clean. The staff was friendly and very generous and helpful with recommendations and other help. While the hotel is in the middle of a multi-building office complex, and on the edge of M.I.T., all Boston sights are only minutes away on the Red Line, located only a 1/2 block away. We had wonderful meals at the Legal Seafoods and Marriott hotel, again located only 1/2 block away. If you are traveling with a family in Boston, you just can't beat the size of these rooms and the convenience of this hotel.
Good location
My family of five, including three children ages 15, 13, and 2, stayed here three nights (Aug 26-29). I was looking for a 2 BR/2 BA suite hotel and there are not many in or around Boston except the Residence Inn and Summerfield Suites. I decided to spend more so we could stay close to the attractions and not drive much. This hotel is located a very short five minute walk from the Kendall/MIT subway T-stop on the Red Line, which takes you right into Boston. The hotel is only a 20 minute walk to the Museum of Science, 15 minute walk to the CambridgeSide Galleria shopping center (where you can catch the Cambridge River Boat tour), and a 10 minute walk to MIT. The hotel itself was very clean and the two BR suite was rather spacious. Each bedroom had one queen bed, although I wish the bigger one had two double beds instead. We ended up paying $20 for a twin rollaway. Parking is across the street in a safe, public garage at $20/day. Although the breakfast was satisfying, the selection was limited to a few hot items (scrambled eggs and Belgian waffles everyday and either pancakes, french toast, or biscuits) and a few cold choices (cereals, some fruit, breads). Breakfast is included free, though, as part of your stay. All in all, a great hotel and would stay there again.
Easy to see all of Boston
We stayed at two Residence Inns on our recent trip and found them a great value for traveling families. We wanted to see the Boston sights but hotels there were a bit expensive. We arrived the weekend after the DNC and had a wonderful time. The "T" station (Kendall/MIT) was nearby and easy to get anywhere you wanted. Look for the musical pipes in the station, there are handles on the wall to make them chime. Breakfast was fantastic. Definitely use the grocery buying service, we left our list in the morning and found our food stocked in our kitchen by evening. This is a free service, just pay for the groceries.
Good base for Boston visit
We couldn't find a reasonable ($100 range) place to stay for our June 2003 visit to Boston. We ended up spending a bit more, but were very happy with the Marriot Residence Inn in Cambridge. The rooms were spacious and clean, the free breakfast was outstanding, and the location fine. Very close to MIT, and not much else, but about a short block to the Mass transit station (Kendall/MIT). Very impressed with Boston's train system--easy to figure out and well run. We didn't need to drive anywhere else the whole trip. Even Fenway was not hard to get to!
Parking was $20 a day more. There is a Legal Seafoods nearby, and a few other places to eat, shop (but no liquor stores--what do the college students do? We were there on the weekend--I think that there is a free reception during the business week).
There are closer places to stay near all the history Boston offers, but for the money we wanted to spend, this was terrific. Quiet, safe area, friendly staff, good rooms, and no problem getting to tourist stuff--would stay there again.

Note: This article was originally published Oct. 12 and was updated Oct. 18.
Almost 14,000 patients may have been exposed to tainted steroid injections of preservative-free methylprednisolone acetate, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported.
The injections are believed to be responsible for 254 cases of fungal meningitis and three cases of joint infection — with 20 deaths — in 16 states as of Oct. 18. The hardest-hit states have been Tennessee (63 cases, eight deaths), Michigan (49 cases, four deaths), Virginia (37 cases, two deaths), Indiana (34 cases, two deaths), Maryland (16 cases, one death) and Florida (13 cases, three deaths).
Cases also have been reported in New Jersey (13), Ohio (10), New Hampshire (eight), Minnesota (seven), North Carolina (two), Idaho, Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas (one each). The tainted product, manufactured by the New England Compounding Center, which has ceased operations, also was shipped to California, Connecticut, Georgia, Nevada, New York, Rhode Island, South Carolina and West Virginia.
The exposed patients received the medication either into the spinal area or a joint space such as a knee, shoulder or ankle.
The CDC said state and local public health departments have contacted more than 12,000 of the patients. "We are making sure patients understand that should they develop symptoms of meningitis or joint infections in the coming weeks, they need to seek medical care immediately," said J. Todd Weber, MD, incident manager of the multistate meningitis outbreak at the CDC.
Among people with meningitis in this outbreak for whom clinical information is available, the onset of symptoms typically has been between one and four weeks following injection. "However, we want to emphasize that we know fungal infections can be slow to develop, and that there are indeed reports of longer periods of time between the injection and the onset of symptoms, so patients and their doctors will need to be vigilant for at least several months following the injection," Weber said.
Patients with meningitis have presented with a variety of symptoms including fever, new or worsening headache, nausea or a new neurological deficit consistent with a deep brain stroke, Weber said. Almost all patients have reported headaches and half have reported fever, back pain or nausea. Some of these patients symptoms were mild. "Given the severity of the fungal meningitis, time is of the essence," Weber said. "We know we can save lives by identifying patients early and getting them on appropriate anti-fungal therapy."
Patients with joint infection may present with symptoms including fever and increased pain, redness, warmth or swelling in the joint where they received the injection or at the injection site. The CDC will be releasing guidelines for clinicians to manage and treat patients with fungal joint infections.
Because the fungus in question can be difficult to detect in lab tests, Weber said, "patients and their clinicians should not assume fungal testing that is negative means there is no infection. In other words, patients who received an injection with one of the three recalled lots of steroids may be diagnosed with meningitis, but their fungal testing may be negative. In these cases, patients should still be treated for fungal meningitis."
The CDC recommends that patients with confirmed fungal meningitis receive two anti-fungal drugs, voriconazole and lipsomal amphotericin B. "These drugs are very strong and can be very difficult for patients to tolerate over a long period of time," Weber said. "We are working with our clinical experts to determine the best dose and the best length of time to treat patients.
"We are working quickly to gather as much information as possible to ensure that doctors and nurses who are treating any patients with fungal meningitis have the necessary information they need to appropriately care for these patients."
The CDC has web links for clinicians regarding the meningitis outbreak: www.cdc.gov/HAI/outbreaks/clinicians/index.html.

FIVE YEARS AGO, SALT LAKE CITY schoolteacher Stacey Bess had to undergo surgery for thyroid cancer. A few days before she went to the hospital, one of her students gave her a teddy bear. "His name is Bear, and he's my friend," said Dana, 9. "It helps to hold him tight when you are afraid. It really works, I promise."
Only later, after her operation succeeded, did Bess learn that Dana had once been locked for days in a dark basement without food or water—and that when the sheriff rescued her, she had been clutching the same dirty bear she would part with for her favorite teacher to "help the hurt go away."
"These are not your typical kids," says Bess, 31. Nor is Bess your typical teacher. For nearly six years she has been the principal instructor at the School with No Name in Salt Lake City, one of about a dozen schools in the U.S. specifically for the homeless.
Founded in 1984, the school is attached to Salt Lake City's family shelter in a seedy part of town. Derelicts stroll nearby; the occasional drug deal takes place on the corner. But for homeless kids who have the option of being bused to the regular public schools, the kindergarten-through-sixth-grade School with No Name is a haven. "I have one boy in my class who has only one set of clothes," says Bess. "Can you imagine him wearing them to a public school every day? Here he knows he will be accepted, no matter what."
Bess has captured dozens of poignant vignettes like this one in her new book, Nobody Don't Love Nobody: Lessons on Love from the School with No Name (Gold Leaf Press). She tells about such kids as the 12-year-old boy forced to run drugs by his parents, the withdrawn 5-year-old boy reared in a satanic cult, and the girl who dreamed of becoming an actress but instead became pregnant at 16.
What Bess offers the 400 children who pass through her school each year is nurturing and a safe harbor amid the chaos of their lives. Arithmetic, for instance, is sweetened by adding and subtracting M & Ms. For completing homework assignments, she gives "positive points," which the kids can trade for toys, cassette tapes, curling irons. And if they get tired, they can crash on the pillow bed in the corner. Explains Bess: "It's hard to teach a child who was up all night in a tiny room because his mom and dad were fighting."
She also has them keep journals. "Dear Diary," one boy writes, "today we had show and tell. I didn't have anything to show. We put our dog to sleep. I thought we were supposed to learn our phone number here. Do we have one? I like it here. We learned about shapes and colors. Dad'll be proud. Can we call him at the prison tonight?"
Bess herself learned the power of compassion from her mother, Susan, a former secretary in a Salt Lake City juvenile detention center who would occasionally bring kids home in emergencies (her stepfather, Roger Coon, is a self-employed fund-raiser). "Sometimes she would tuck a child into bed with me late at night," says Bess.
Still, as a 1987 graduate of the University of Utah, Bess had expected to teach in an ordinary classroom "with neat rows of desks and a flag in the corner." She was stunned when she was detailed to the School with No Name, which then was housed in a corrugated metal shed. "My first week I cried every night," says Bess. But she couldn't bring herself to quit. "I stayed because I realized I was giving these kids their childhood. In their sad little lives, it was so rare to just be a kid. I fell in love with those kids. I couldn't let go."
Yet two years ago, Bess, who has been married since 1980 to real estate appraiser Gregory Bess, 32, almost did let go, after giving birth to her third child, McKenzie (her others are Nichole, 13, and Brandon, 9). "I felt it was time to be a mother," she says. Once again, though, she couldn't get the students out of her mind, so she brought McKenzie to school with her. "I strapped her to my chest," says Bess, "and the kids looked on with awe. There was a real peace to the room."
Stacey Bess's kids do not soon forget her. A few weeks ago, Matthew McLane, 12—who had been to the School with No Name four years earlier—stopped by with Frank, his father. On the way out, Frank let on that he was unemployed and living in a tent while waiting for room in the shelter. Bess stayed up all night agonizing over what to do—she couldn't bear the thought of Matthew in a leaky tent. She was about to leave on a tour to promote her book. So she got her husband's parents to take the boy in.
Says Matthew, who enjoyed his respite with Bess's in-laws: "Our school doesn't have a name. But my dad has one for Stacey. Angel."

I'm not a professional photographer, but I'm going to attempt to take free senior pictures for a family whose parents lost their job & can't afford a pro. So, I'm looking for some ideas to help a family!
The senior (male) plays drums and is NOT bringing his drumset. But, he will be bringing drumsticks and also mallets (like for a xylophone or something). And, a guitar.
If anyone has some ideas for the sticks/mallets/guitar, please feel free to share!
We'll be taking pictures against an old brick building with big teal doors (industrial type), railroad tracks, & a park so far... if that helps to know.
Thanks for any ideas! Amber

Im a Spontaneous SCF Leak. I had my second blood patch done
Resolved Question:
Im a Spontaneous SCF Leak. I had my second blood patch done a week ago & overall feel sooooo much better!!! They did a high volume patch in my thoracic region the 2nd time a week ago.. Since then I seem to now have a slight but constant pressure in my head mostly behind my ears & slight temple pulse..... as if there is air that can not escape & plugged ears? Why is this? As the day continues it seems to have more pressure & at this point it hurts when I bend over like a huge painful head rush. But then 2 mins later the rush is gone & I'm completely fine. I also can almost feel something move from side to side when I tilt my head from side to side. Tonight I got out of my truck & had a huge rush or pressure/pain for maybe one minute then it was gone too. Back to just my previous complaints oh and jaw feels weird too like as if I ate something sour?? And when pressures do build up I can almost feel it in my temples & sinuses? What is all this?? I can't get in with my PA until 3/26/12...

It is hard to know why you are still having these intermittent symptoms. That being said, I believe it would be best for you to take it easy for a few more days; don't bend over, don't drive....just relax on the couch etc.
It is also important for you to let your doctor know about what is happening to you...if you are concerned, don't let the office tell you that you can't be seen until the end of March -- insist that you be "squeezed in" if your symptoms continue.
Does this make sense to you?
And, now, the obligatory word from our sponsors: :o)

Now I'm having pain/pressure in my tailbone? Is this related? I noticed when the onset of everything else started after my blood patch but didn't imagine it would be related to everything else so I kinda just disregarded it. But each day it also seems to be more noticeable. And now today is extremely noticeable. And to top off the weirdness of it all I get like a rush of pain/pressure in my tailbone when I get up after sitting for a period of time (has happened 4 times now today) then its gone in like 30 seconds. Is this anything to do with what we previously discussed? Now I'm not getting the rush of pain/pressure to my head but in my tailbone rather??
Dr. Rick, MD
replied 4 years ago.
It would probably be best to give you doctor a call in the morning and, since he knows you best, XXXXX XXXXX he thinks you should come in for an evaluation in the morning.
From what you have told me I don't think it is an emergency that you be seen right now.
Does this make sense?

My primary Dr. has no expertise in this type of ailment. So I have been referred to a Neurologist. Which I've been trying but can't seem to get in any sooner than 3/26.
Dr. Rick, MD
replied 4 years ago.
If that is the case, and the pain continues or gets worse, then I guess your only option would be to go to the ER. I don't like the fact that the pain continues to get worse.....it really should be evaluated.

My pain level is maybe a 1 for the most part except when those few occasions take place... But it almost seems as if I can feel my brain in my head move when I tilt my head from side to side and, and plugged ears, and like a feeling of my jaw being puckered & pressure behind ears after longer lengths of being up?? I just don't get why that would all be taking place? No headaches tho? A nurse friend wondered if my brain had decended into my occipital bone due to lack of SCF pressure? But if that's the case where is my headaches like before? But one thing that does intrigue me if my brain has in fact decended could that out pressure on my spine to give me that sensation now in my tailbone?? Just so many questions? Driving me crazy because I just want to be back to normal again?
Dr. Rick, MD
replied 4 years ago.
I don't think that your brain has descended......you would be much worse off then a pain of 1.
I hope things get better soon...if not you really should be examined in person after all that your have been through.

Im running a hitachi one, Its not the touro, it a little older but works perfectly with a Y cable.
Hi, would you like to know what could be the best external hard drive for the Wii U?
Here are some options:
The 320GB hard drive from PDP
I will choose this hard drive, because I don't need up to 1TB or more to store my games.
The Buffalo mini station:
avaiable in 500GB and 1TB
The Hitachi (HGST) Touro Mobile
avaiable in 500GB and 750GB
The Toshiba Canvio Basics
from 500GB to 1.5TB
Well, there are some of the best external hard drives for the Wii U, but don't forget to use the USB Y-cable like this:
To avoid power issues with the Wii U.

If You Add My Wii Code, Please PM me with your code so i can add you. THANKS
I'm planning to use an older Western Digital 320gb HD with a Wii U basic.
Oh, I forget to mention that external hard drives use two types of Micro-USB connectors:
The Micro-USB type A: (also called micro-usb 2.0)
Like this
And the Micro-USB type B: (also called micro-usb 3.0)
Like this
So choose your USB Y-cable accordingly:
Also you can use your existing hd cable with this dual USB power splitter cable:
(Apricorn AUSB-Y USB Power Adapter Y Cable)
Last edited by stickmode; 12-30-2012 at 04:56 AM.
How to know what kind of connector the external hard drive has?
Well, there is a simple trick. Check the specs of your hard drive, if it says "suppor for USB 3.0" it clearly has the USB type B connector, an if it says "USB 2.0 support" it has the USB type A connector. Also, some older hard drives use the mini-USB connector, like this:
There is a USB Y-cable with this kind of connector too.
Last edited by stickmode; 01-01-2013 at 08:12 AM.
My USB 3.0 drive has the big blue square A connector instead of the smaller B connector.
Just though you might want to be aware that there's exceptions.

IT WAS A FAMILY affair on Sheridan Street in Camden, authorities allege, with brothers, sisters, uncles and cousins all pitching in together to peddle heroin, cocaine and crack.
The FBI, along with local and county law-enforcement agencies, paid a visit to Sheridan Street and the surrounding Whitman Park neighborhood early yesterday, rounding up 16 alleged members of two large drug rings and filing charges against six others who were either already in custody or at large. The bust, authorities said, was the largest in Camden in a decade.
"Today, the good guys have firmly planted a flag in the ground," Camden County Police Chief Scott Thomson said at a morning news conference.

Bushland Independent School District trustees met Tuesday to take care of some last-minute business before the 1999-2000 budget goes into effect today.
Trustees amended the 1998-1999 budget by transferring some unspent funds between various accounts. Superintendent John Lemons said the transfers are routine, and such budget amendments occur each year before the new budget begins.
The board officially adopted the 1999-2000 budget on Aug. 17. The board will hold a public meeting at 5:30 p.m. today in the Bushland Middle School Library to discuss and receive comments on the budget and proposed tax rate.
In other business Tuesday, the board hired an additional third-grade teacher. With the new hire, Bushland has four third-grade teachers and an instructor-student ratio of about 15-to-1 in third-grade classes, Lemons said. State law requires classroom ratios to be 22-to-1 or below.
The board on Tuesday also approved some work behind the elementary school, where a small area will be paved.
