Clean, comfortable, and accessible

Great location for access to both Boston and Cambridge. Navigating your stay requires much self driven activity, but everything works smoothly. The time are small but comfortable and there is ample comfortable shared space.

We had a great stay overall—everything was good, from the service to the amenities. The only downside was the strong cigarette smoke smell in our room’s bathroom, which was a bit off-putting. Aside from that, we enjoyed our time here and would consider returning!

Boston needs more new hotels at this price point. Rooms are small, but cozy and well designed. iPad controls everything in the room which is fun. Breakfast is pretty standard mid range hotel buffet. At about 20 bucks it pretty hard to beat in the area. And get a city view room if you can. You won’t regret it.
