    great location
    excellent service

    It was an excellent fit for resting in Cambridge with great value for the money. The kids loved the TV on the bathroom mirror. Remember to bring your own bottled water.

    spacious setting
    comfortable stay
    lack of laundry facilities

    The hotel provided a comfortable stay for our large family. We enjoyed family dinners at Henrietta's Table, where the spacious setting made it easy to accommodate our newborn's needs. The location allowed us to explore nearby attractions with ease.

    My kids wished there were laundry facilities to take care of messes quickly.

    Perfect spot for a concise stay

    Quiet room, clean bathroom decorated with nice linen, offering a wonderful view of the square right in front of the hotel, and conveniently located just 0.5 km from Harvard Square for easy exploring.

    classic decor
    spacious layout
    easy access
    limited seating
    common areas

    I thoroughly enjoyed the classic New England decor with its charming Shaker furniture and cozy atmosphere. The spacious layout of the hotel and easy access to elevators made it comfortable for me to navigate around.

    A better selection of seating in common areas.

    attentive staff
    high parking fees

    I had a delightful 4-night stay in a Deluxe Double or Twin Room. The location was fantastic, just a short walk from Harvard, making it so easy to explore the area. The breakfast options were delicious and the staff were attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. It was also a treat to relax outside with a drink in the evening! Overall, a great experience.

    great location
    friendly staff
    comfortable beds
    high parking fees
    pricey parking

    The location was fantastic, super close to Harvard and just a short distance from Boston. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable. The hotel had a beautiful restaurant where we had a lovely breakfast, and it was wonderful to relax outside with a drink in the evenings. The rooms were clean, and the beds were unbelievably comfortable with high-quality linens.

    Parking fees were quite high.

    comfortable bed
    nice linens
    clean room
    lack of charm
    limited amenities

    The Deluxe King Room was comfortable and clean. The linens were really nice, and the bed felt great for sleeping. There was a lovely bathroom with both a shower and a bath, which was a nice touch. Everything was spotless. However, the room lacked a bit of extra charm, and it could’ve used more amenities for the price.

    solid stay but not exceptional

    The location of the hotel was superb, placing us near many attractions. The parking garage option was a great convenience, saving us time searching for a spot.

    The rooms were fine but felt average by higher-end hotel standards.
