“Would stay again.”
Great location. Comfortable. The room was a little hot when I arrived at first with the radiator on but either I got used to it or the temperature fell, as I did not notice it after a while. Great to have access to a fridge in the room and a water cooler in the open area.

Great inn, perfect price&quality ratio with a free parking, few steps from Harvard University, 10 min walk to Harvard metro station with plenty of eating options in the area. 4 stops and you are at Boston Common. It was really the best choice for us for New Year's Eve stay.

“Great!”
This place is in the perfect location for easy access to Harvard square. The room was clean and spacious, and everyone was really friendly, great access to tea and coffee in the kitchen too. Also the bakery just a few doors down had the best cinnamon buns we've ever eaten, so great breakfast options nearby!
