Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The location is perfect, with friendly staff and a charming ambiance. However, the room was quite noisy due to the subway and street noise. The amenities were a bit limited, but the comfort compensated for it.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with clean and comfortable rooms. The staff was very friendly and accommodating throughout my visit. The location was excellent, right on Harvard Campus, offering understated luxury and great personal service. However, the dining options were limited, and the rooms, though cozy, were a bit small. Overall, it was a good value for the money.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were comfortable, but some had dirty carpets attracting ants. The service was friendly and efficient, yet there were initial issues with the receptionist. The location near Harvard Square was superb, although some facilities were lacking. The dining options were average. Overall, it was a convenient stay with a few drawbacks.
