Cannot beat the location, right in the heart of Harvard Square within walking distance of all the shops and restaurants, quick walk to memorial drive and the Red Line! Parking on site is also a huge perk! Had a wonderful stay!

Location is great for getting around Cambridge and surrounding areas. The room was small but adequate. The shower was a bit frustrating as you had to stand under the shower head to turn it on and get blasted at first with cold water.

This is a lovely small hotel. It has very limited amenities but is right across the street from the Charles Hotel and walkable to everything in Harvard Square. There is parking available on the upper level of the attached garage - the signage is not clear and the turn up the ramp is easy to miss and difficult to navigate (we accidentally ended up first in the lower garage which didn’t seem a great place to leave our car, and then in a bus alley, which the busses weren’t happy about…). Overall this hotel was just what we needed for an overnight trip to Cambridge for an event.

Was very good, except for the part where I got locked from the inside and couldn’t get out, but housekeeping guy came to my rescue and got the front desk dude and they WD-40d my way out, so I really appreciate them and their hard work.
