The hotel was ok but there was no hair dryer in the room and most concerning was the plastic wrapped around the smoke detector. This is clearly illegal (Rm 708).

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This property is a great option for price-conscious travelers to Cambridge. Great bars and restaurants are a reasonable walk (or a quick Uber ride) away, and having a grocery store nearby is always a plus. The full breakfast was a pleasant surprise, and the beds were super comfy. This was my second time staying here -- and I'll be back!
