“Living History in Cambridge”
Staying in a National Historic designated 20 room house was like staying in someone's home. Very well renovated and some thoughtful upscale touches. That wallpaper was devine. Loved our room with the round window!!! The neighbour was wonderful too.

No breakfast. No person. No coffee. No response when someone got locked out. I am sure you are making a fortune, at least have someone there in the AM to provide coffee and tea.

“Hidden gem in the Harvard University area”
This hotel is a little gem, hidden almost within Harvard university grounds. The size of the room was the best, along with the quiet and nicely decorated lobby.
