We really enjoyed our our stay at the Porter Square Hotel. The suite we stayed in was spacious and comfortable, and the staff was very friendly. While there is no gym at the hotel, they offer access to the gym at a hotel just down the street. Access to the red line made public transportation a piece of cake. Great stay, would absolutely return!

It's walkable to Harvard University. It's a very clean hotel. Their restaurant has great food. The staff is very nice. There's a 24 hour CVS across the street. The Metro stop (Porter) is across the street. There's a few dining options around with an Indian food restaurant next door. I really liked this hotel. I would stay here again.

I’d booked a deluxe room but received a mini room instead. The staff that checked us in didn’t even bother to explain that the deluxe room “wasn’t ready yet” but put us directly into a mini room instead. In my opinion, you should get what you paid for, and since after hours of traveling we were tired and didn’t want to wait for a room that should’ve been ready upon arrival, we settled for the mini room. Overall the room was satisfactory. The beds were fresh and firm, the tv channels worked well and the room was clean. The bathroom was also clean but very small, shower head’s water pressure was sufficient. The wifi however, wasn’t strong enough to support much web access so that was a big con. I’d prob stay here again if I find a nice rate, given the neighborhood and its resources and the ease of transport into downtown (if and when the Red line decides to work all the way).

The stuff were pretty kind. Their mattress are pretty comfortable to sleep on. Not too hard, not to soft. Room service by request by 11 am, which is actually more preferred comparing to the traditional way. Location wise it is 2 minutes walk from Target, CVS and Red Line.
