An absolutely charming hotel with personality in Cambridge. I loved my stay here. The room was spotless and a nice view. The front desk staff was very friendly, helpful and efficient. The business center downstairs was cute and had style. Lots of restaurants in the area to walk to. I’d definitely stay here again!

Bed Bugs!! This is a very charming little hotel with a nice gym and business center and I was really enjoying my stay until I got COVERED in bug bites in the middle of February. I reported it to the hotel and they appeared to take the allegations very seriously. However after their investigation they concluded that there were no bed bugs. I also see another review from a few weeks prior reporting bed bugs where they also investigated and said there were none. I'm writing this review because they have failed to take action on a very serious issue and other customers have a right to know. I have done zero other travel in at least a month or two and had no other opportunities for exposure. The only place i've been other than my house is this hotel and both my partner and i were COVERED i

Small & convenient hotel situated nearby Harvard Square and Porter Square. They have valet service. You cannot self park in their small lot. Stayed for 1 night. The room I was situated in was the cheapest room rate available. Small room with standing shower and one chair on the side. The bed sheet consisted of a comforter and that’s it. No thin sheet under it. Typical 2/3 star hotel ambiance. Good decor. The standing shower did not have a good water shield such that there was a small puddle in the bathroom each time a 3+ minute shower was taken. It felt like a lower end hotel with the exterior of a nicer 3 star hotel. Good cheap rate. No kitchen or breakfast offerings but you are in Porter Square so you should find something nearby. Would come back if I stayed in Boston for at most 2 night

We’ve been traveling to Boston quite frequently for medical care at Mass General. Rather than dealing with pricey parking and navigating never ending hospital construction, we’ve been staying outside the area and taking the T. This was the first time staying at this hotel and it is now my favorite Boston area option. First, the location is outstanding, right across from the station (about 18 minutes to MGH). The area offers great restaurants and shops. The hotel rooms are just a bit small but the beds are comfortable, there’s water and a Keurig in the room, the bathroom counter has room to unpack toiletries, and the shower head is amazing. The rates are also reasonable. Lastly, the staff is not only friendly and helpful, but they are kind.
