    convenient location
    lovely courtyard
    secure door

    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!

    convenient location
    friendly staff
    yummy food
    limited storage

    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.

    Comfortable room, convenient location, with a clean bathroom and 24-hour reception services that made my solo stay enjoyable.

    complimentary tea
    great location

    It was just a good match for taking strolls in Cambridge with exceptional value. The complimentary tea and coffee all day were a nice touch. Make sure to explore the nearby cafes for breakfast options.

    great area
    good mattress
    poor service
    small room
    lack of amenities

    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.

    fantastic location
    friendly staff
    lack of storage
    quirky design

    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.

    modern décor
    convenient transportation
    welcoming atmosphere
    small room
    limited space

    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.

    clever storage

    The location is clutch, right off the Red Line, with lots of great spots nearby. The room was small but cozy, with clever storage and all the essentials. It felt like at home, nothing too much trouble.

    I stayed for 5 nights and loved my petite double twin room. The location is excellent, close to the red line T station. The mattress was comfortable, and there was a good coffee machine. The staff were friendly and very helpful. I will definitely return! ☕
