The hotel is conveniently located in Harvard Square, and parking was a breeze. However, we had difficulty opening the door to our room, and my husband had to use full body force to open it. Similarly, we had to use extreme force to open the door to exit the room. The room was neat and clean, as was the bathroom, but again, we had to use extreme force to turn the shower on. We later discovered that the faucet dripped, and the only way to stop the dripping was to turn it extremely tight.

Very convenient location to Harvard. However, there were two issues with the property. First, the climate control in the room wasn’t great. It was extremely hot and we were unable to get the A/C on. (Maybe it was off in the building in April.). Second, our last morning, there was no cold water in the shower. Scalding hot only!

Overall we had a good stay but the two things that could be improved are that the shower had very very low water pressure and volume so it took a while to shower, and the water dispenser in the lobby was broken (and the tap water did not taste good). Staff was great and everything was clean.

The room was not worth the money paid. There was no AC, the room was a lot smaller than it appeared online, and the tv didn’t have cable connection.

We just came in for one night to Harvard square. Checked in super late which wasn’t a problem. No food at hotel , just coffee snack bar behind reception area but so many choices right outside hotel, there wasn’t any need to have in house catering. Clean , small efficient rooms. Vet comfy bed. Good for a quick visit but maybe a bit tiny for longer term stay.

Disliked: Amenities
The location is FANTASTIC!! And they know it. That’s why they will get away with a hotel that has more the vibe of an hostel and an hotel. The room is very small. Almost no storage. Bathroom and sink tiny. Old doors, old floors, old everything. No breakfast. High price for what it is and you have to pay additional ($45) to park a car. The should put a bit more effort and pride on this place, not just rely on the great location. They are in need of renovation. Badly

There is NO AIR CONDITIONING in the hotel. We reached out to the desk apparently we couldn’t change our room because the entire hotel had no air conditioning. They don’t turn the switch for air conditioning until summer Also the beds are terrible. Used a mattress topper to compensate for the poor mattress.

Great location and efficient service. My only concern is safety. Anyone can enter the hotel and go up to the rooms without going past the reception desk. We had a woman squatting across from our room door on the third floor. Sheeas not a guest but had bags, and just sat scrolling on her phone. We told the receptionist who wasn’t surprised about this.
