The staff could not be more friendly. Location is right off Harvard Square. The rooms are all very very small. Most do not have a chair. No towel rack or fan in the bathroom. “Queen sized” bed advertised which should be 60” wide but beds are only 48” wide — so not even a true full size. I saw 4 rooms when checking in as I could not believe it. Rug in my room had large stains all over. Overdue for a renovation.

Cozy hotel with attentive staff, right on Harvard Square across from the Arrow Street Theatre (what used to be the Oberon). A short walk to the amazing Harvard Art Museums (free!). No breakfast, but the lobby has tea and coffee including decaf from a fancy machine, and there's a mini mall on the corner with a diner, burger place, Chinese restaurant, cafe, and sushi spot (all of which do takeout), and a convenience store open until 11 pm. If you're visiting Harvard campus you should stay here!

Cambridge gem
One factor in booking here was the note that parking was free - when I arrived I found out it was actually over $30/night but that was still good for the area I was looking at, so I based my whole trip on this surprise extra cost - and it was still an excellent experience, well worth it - but as a bonus, at the end they said the parking fees were waived because of the online booking through this site, so that made it feel like a huge bonus. The coffee was an automated espresso machine in the lobby - it was far superior to any room coffee I've had. I alternated working in the room and in the lobby for a change of scenery, both were great. Access wise, the location is incredible, a short walk to the Harvard T so I just left my car in the parking lot the whole time. Overall my biggest success at booking my own hotel online yet.

Hi Jan -- We're sorry you didn't enjoy your stay. While our rooms are small, we do have the square footage listed for each room on our website -- So the size shouldn't be a surprise, nor should some street noise in the middle of a working city. We have a very powerful HVAC system, so any issue with temperature could have been resolved very easily and promptly if you had alerted us.
