Friendly staff. Cozy, clean room. Quiet, i a agreat neighborhood. Right near the T. Highly recommend, and will definitely stay here again.
Room was very clean. Staff was pleasant and very helpful. My room was very quiet, with excellent view of Porter Square. The proximity of the hotel to the Porter Square Red Line Station was a huge plus since I decided to go car-less in this trip.
While it was in Cambridge, getting downtown to Boston was easy because the train station was right across the street. Good restaurants and shopping in the area. Hotel was clean and nice.
Very clean, staff was kind and helpful. Room was very nice. We were able to check in early and staff allowed us to use valet for our car before checking in.
