Irving House At Harvard

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and well maintained facility."

Beacon Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing stay. The staff is exceptional, but Janiel went above and beyond for me helping me find ways around the city. As a solo female traveler I felt very safe staying at the property and if I ever come back to Boston I won’t even consider staying anywhere else. I travel frequently and this property is in my top 5 ever (very close to the top)."
