Great location, room was a bit tired, older, stained carpet. Hotel was being renovated, so hopefully new paint and carpet. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Small room but very convenient location with lots of restaurants and stores in walking distance. The staff was very nice and helpful giving us many dining suggestions in walking distance.
Fantastic value, great stay.
I had lived in Cambridge for about six years and moved recently and I needed a one night stay before some friends could host me for a longer duration. This was just perfect for my needs and I could easily have stayed longer very comfortably.

While the property was undergoing an upgrade which made parking more difficult (we did obtain on-street), this is a great location for exploring Harvard Square and the room was comfortable. Staff was accommodating in helping re parking. Good overall, could be excellent after restoration.
This hotel is a marvelous hotel, very close to the Harvard Square, yet quite and cozy. There is a fire place in the lobby. Very classy and provides free coffee and tea.
Elegant feel and very comfort bed. Our room was very small with no room for opening luggage. The staff was very helpful, particularly Ryan. So nice to have espresso and bottled water available all the time.
