Hotel Information

It is (I think) 5 or so miles from Harvard. It's a 1 minute walk from the T station (just cross the street), which is a 5-10 minute T ride to Harvard Square, and from there it's a 10 minute walk to the pool. The hotel restaurant is open from 6:30am to 10:30pm. The rooms have 2 double beds or a King with a Queen sofabed - it depends on availability when you check in. The rooms are $179/night ($170 with AAA discount), and the parking is $20/night for regular parking or $25/night for valet parking. All Marriotts are completely nonsmoking and have a hotel pool. There is room service, but it may not start early enough for those swimming the first session of the day. Cancellations must happen prior to 6pm the night of arrival.

Note that the Harvard Square stop is still a 10-minute walk from the pool. Parking is very difficult to find at Harvard. So you can also consider a cab to the Harvard pool if you don't want your swimmer walking too much before their session.

They're 2 miles from Harvard. They do not have a shuttle to Harvard. They have a pool and a restaurant. No room service. They offer rooms with 1 King or 2 Double beds. I forgot to ask their cancellation policy - it differs from Marriott to Marriott (some require 3 days notice). The Marriott price is comparable to DoubleTree, and parking is extra but I don't know how much that is.

They're 1/2 mile from Harvard. Their free shuttle to Harvard runs from 9am to 9pm (not compatible with all swim sessions). They have a pool and a restaurant. Their rooms contain 2 twins or 1 king, with a queen sofabed, and an optional rollaway can be ordered. Again, bed-configuration is dependent on availability when you check in. They do not have rooms with 2 double beds. It's $189 for a room and $20 for parking, per night. You must request nonsmoking. They have a 24-hour cancellation policy.
