Convenient location near Harvard Square and within walking distance of shops and restaurants. Friendly and helpful staff who provided great service. Clean and well-maintained rooms and bathrooms

Dated and basic accommodations, lacking in comfort and luxury. Limited parking spaces, difficult to find a spot in the small lot.
