The location couldnt have been better for our visit to Harvard. We were within walking distance of everything.Busline and trains were also right near. There are 4 stories and no elevator which was alot with our luggage. The stairs were steep. Breakfast had a nice variety. The rooms were acceptable. The staff was very friendly.

Very quiet room (in back), soft linens, friendly staff, wonderful breakfast. I would stay here again. I felt safe here as a solo traveler. It is not super-close to the T, so recommended for folks who are driving or have no trouble walking. The neighborhood is very walkable and pleasant, with businesses nearby for anything you might need.

A nice breakfast to start the day. I was really impressed with how clean the shared bathrooms were kept. It was quiet and the staff were friendly. Wifi worked well. Not too far of a walk to metro and Harvard Square.
