Nice property, with three restaurants and a well-equipped gym minutes away from Harvard square. Rooms are clean and specious with mirror TV in the bathroom. The only reason I don’t rated the hotel 5 star is that it doesn’t have a mini fridge and instead it has a mini bar which doesn’t keep the perishables cold enough.
