Quick Solo Trip
Conveniently located near the T and great area restaurants. A short walk to Harvard Square or quick Uber trip. Room and bathroom were smaller than I would have liked, but they served their purpose. LOVED the super hot shower water temperature and helpful staff.

8/10 Very good

Came to Cambridge to see a play in Harvard Square. This was a perfect spot to stay. Walkable to Harvard Square and many dining options. Room was attractive and comfortable, a bit cramped and lacking in space to hang coats, etc. But perfect for a short stay when not intending to hang out in room. Staff was very friendly!
