This was my second stay at Morrison House in the last six months. What a great place, the hosts are very nice, the location super convenient and the accommodations were very comfortable. I’ll be going back.

Quiet, convenient
Great, quiet experience. Loved the housecat (who is not allowed in rooms due to allergy concerns). Really liked Davis Square nearby.

Russell

Disliked: Staff & service
Staff provided this help when asking for directions "Google it". Was not allowed to have air conditioning because the remotes were put up for the season. Breakfast consists of hard-boiled eggs, cereal, a pastry, and coffee. For the amount of money, it was not worth it.

the location was perfect- brought me back to my happy place when i lived in Somerville 25 years ago! parking was a huge plus, the inn itself was just beautiful inside and out, the feline was the most adorable zany little meatball, and Linde baked the best Irish soda bread i have ever had. EVER. i stayed in the Little Room, proof that they make even the smallest space comfortable. one note- the bed has a huge pillowtop, so it is on the softer side for those that need to know. pick HERE- you will thank me for it.
