We had an excellent day and the Essex Room was just perfect for our needs.  I would like the name of our server on Saturday….she did such an excellent job tending to our needs…..and the breakfast, lunch and chocolate attack were all scrumptious…… Thank you so much for everything…..the Hawthorne never lets me down.

"The efforts of Hawthorn Hotel staff members, performing professionally, knowledgeably, and accommodatingly, were a primary factor in the success of the MIT Class of 1950’s 60th Reunion. Indeed, the reunion was a great success. Reunion attendees, when departing the hotel, were full of praise and thanks for a wonderful experience. It has been a pleasure doing

business with the Hawthorne Hotel staff."
