Convenient location near T and lovely courtyard for relaxation, plus close to culture with museums a short trip away.
The door felt so secure—I was convinced it was going to do the cha-cha instead of keeping out intruders!

We loved exploring Harvard University, just a short walk away! The staff was welcoming, and the local bagels from nearby shops were a hit with my teens. Plus, being right by the T station made our trips around Boston super easy.
My kids wished there was more storage for our luggage.

Excellent location with easy access to public transport and nearby restaurants, making it convenient for exploring the area. The room was comfortable with a good mattress and coffee maker. However, there are some concerns about the service. one traveler reported being treated poorly by staff, and another pointed out the lack of a restaurant on-site during their stay. It's worth considering if service consistency is a priority for you.

Convenient Location with Great Amenities
I recently stayed in a Deluxe Double Twin room for five nights and was impressed by the location right off the Red Line, making it super easy to explore Cambridge. The room was clean and fairly spacious, which I appreciated during my longer stay. The coffee maker was a nice touch, and having fresh bagels in the morning was a delightful surprise. However, I noticed that the parking fees were a bit steep at $28/day.

The hotel's location is fantastic with nearby shops and restaurants. The staff are friendly and helpful. However, the room lacked adequate storage for clothes, making a week-long stay challenging. While the design can be quirky, this place is clean and perfect for exploring the area.

I appreciated the hotel’s modern décor with marble floors and angular furniture, making it feel fresh and welcoming. The accessibility to the red line T station was also a huge plus for getting around easily during my stay.
Room size could be more accommodating for seniors.
