Hi Juliana,We are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your stay with us. The beds here are quite firm but we have another hotel down the street called Hotel 1868 that has much softer mattresses. Between both hotels, we try to please everyone since everybody has a different preference. Unfortunately the use of valet parking and it's price is mandated by the city of Cambridge. It is a flat 28 per night with in and out privilege's, there is a valet on-site 24/7. We hope you consider trying out Hotel 1868 the next time you are in the area!

For the rooms that don't have a fridge, they are always available upon request. I'm sorry this wasn't explained more clearly when you called. Hope to host you again next time you're in the area.All the best,Curtis
