★★★★★ 5.0 Claire Ullman · Jan 2026

I’ve stayed here many times and I think it’s the best value in the Square. Rooms are immaculate and well-maintained. Beds are comfortable. Bathrooms are tiny and lack any surface to put your toiletries on but they are clean and everything works. The staff is friendly and helpful. There is a very pleasant lobby where you can sit and work or read. There is free coffee in the lobby. There are great places to get breakfast nearby. Parking on site is convenient (but the spaces are TINY) and priced comparably to other lots, with the advantage that you can come and go for a flat fee. It is not luxurious and you’ll have more space and amenities at the nearby Charles Hotel if you want a more indulgent experience, but this hotel is almost always my preference because it has everything I need and I

This hotel was the perfect landing spot while I was attending a class at Harvard. It is centrally located to campus and easy to access all of the great spots in town. The hotel is charming and offers a very clean, comfortable flair. The rooms are spacious and charming.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Joy Childress · Mar 2026

The location is perfect next to Harvard it made visiting my daughter very convenient even in the snow! The staff was top-notch and the rooms weee were nicely maintained ... I enjoyed the complimentary hot tea and coffee located in the lobby, but wish they had partnerships with local restaurants to deliver to hotel (leaving menus in the room to highlight recommendations for guests).

★★★★★ 5.0 J · Dec 2025

Very well-designed hotel. My mattress was fabulously comfortable and I appreciated the adjustable desk chair. Each room has an iron, ironing board and hair dryer. And I appreciated the motion controlled night lights so guests do not trip when they get up in the middle of the night. There's free tea, coffee, and hot chocolate in the first floor snack area with other treats for sale. The second floor has a vending machine with reasonable prices and an ice machine. Staff was always willing to address my concerns in a professional manner. Would definitely stay again.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Brianna Webb · Jan 2026

I really enjoyed the proximity to everything I needed. The customer service and ease of checking in and out is great. The rooms were very clean, they are smaller but fit what we needed. The room walls are thin, you can hear everything. However, I was ok with this as I wasn't in the room often.
