“The staff were outstanding ... room large and comfortable. Nice bathroom and great shower pressure contrary to the negative comments written on trip advisor. Excellent location,”
“Location brilliant, staff very friendly & helpful”
“The location is absolutely unbeatable. You are in the heart of Harvard Square (this is convenient for Boston sightseeing as well as Cambridge, since the T subway station is right there). That said, it was not noisy at night, despite its central location. The rooms were simple but clean, tasteful and comfortable. There is coffee, tea and water in the lobby, and a bunch of good coffee shops nearby for breakfast (try Crema Cafe or Flour, or Starbucks if you want something familiar). I saw some complaints online about the lack of a/c and it not being adjustable in the room. I emailed ahead and confirmed that the a/c would be functioning in October, and it was adjustable in our room.”

“Great location to Harvard Square and close walking distance to the university, restaurants and the river/waterfront. Staff is very accomodating. Parking is limited but right outside the hotel lobby and secure - check ahead if driving. They have 24 hr coffee sevice in lobby - no in-room coffee makers. Located right by a great cafe - Flour - open early and late on weekdays and normal hours 7-5 on weekends. Views from rooms were great.”
