Great option for an overnight in Harvard Square! The rooms are cute and functional but not overly frilly. Check in was smooth and the breakfast in the morning is excellent. I got caught in a rain storm so was grateful for the on site laundry and could dry my clothes. The staff are very nice and friendly. Overall it’s a comfortable, quirky totally Cambridge place to stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
It is an older property. So you have uneven floors. No elevator. Not ideal for the physicaly challenged
Wonderful patient customer service manager helped with everything! Free gifts upon check-in. Free cookies at check in. Delicious breakfast! Highly recommend.
Really quiet, affordable, good breakfast. Overall i had a peaceful stay. My only suggestion is that the employees wear less cologne when walking through the breakfast area in the morning. It made the food taste like the guy’s cologne.
