It has everything I needed for my short trip to Boston. The staff was friendly and helpful, the facilities were clean and well kept. I woud highly recommend this hotel if you are headed to Cambridge.

We walked to Harvard Campus, a few minutes to Red Line and buses. The facility is in good condition, including the amenity at the hotel and the room. The front desk people are very friendly. We will come back to Boston in a few months and if available, we would like to stay here again without a doubt. ##### Peter Stayed 10 nights in Mar 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert Feb 8, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Really nice hotel.

Rooms are small, but efficiently designed. Storage is limited. Bath is tight, but it is well-appointed and works. The restaurant downstairs has become a lively spot. McCarthy’s pub, just steps away, is fun. Good and varied shopping is close, as is the T stop at Porter Square. ##### Diana Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth Jan 17, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The room was clean, updated, and well stocked with amenities. ##### Elizabeth Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alexander Nov 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Clean modern room, friendly staff, great location.

However, the mattress was so hard I could barely sleep for any length of time without constantly repositioning myself (I’m in my 30s which says a lot). It was the worst mattress of any hotel I’ve ever been which was so unfortunate. ##### laura Stayed 1 night in Mar 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leah Dec 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Room is perfect and girls at the front desk are super sweet & helpful! ##### Leah Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter Feb 1, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Room was meticulously clean with all the amenities we needed!

The room lacks storage, with only a hook that fits 2 coats, a shoe rack, 1 drawer in each of the night stand, and a small desk. No fridge in the room (unless requested). Location is great, only steps from Porter Station and shops, and 20 min walk to Harvard. ##### Ziyi Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maria Oct 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location, room had everything needed while being nice, roomy and clean Easy check-in and check-out process ##### Maria Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia - [Lodging](?equalTargetTab=tab-0) - [Flights](?equalTargetTab=tab-1) - [Packages](?equalTargetTab=tab-2) - [Cars](?equalTargetTab=tab-3) - [Vacation Rentals](?equalTargetTab=tab-4) - [Things to Do](?equalTargetTab=tab-5) - [Sheraton Commander Hotel](https://www.expedia.com/Boston-Hotels-Sheraton-Commander-Hotel.h18247.Hotel-Information) - [The Kendall Hotel at the Engine 7 Firehouse](https://www.expedia.com/Boston-Hotels-The-Kendall-Hotel.h891173.Hotel-Information) - [Irving House At Harvard](https://www.expedia.com/Boston-Hotels-Irving-House-At-Harvard.h977322.Hotel-Information) - [Fairfield Inn & Suites Boston Cambridge](https://www.expedia.com/Boston-Hotels-Fairfield-Inn-Suites-Boston-Cambridge.h9303565.Hotel-Information) - [Boston Marriott Cambridge](https://www.expedia.com/Boston-Hotels-Boston-Marriott-Cambridge.h22512.Hotel-Information) - [Kimpton Marlowe Hotel by IHG](https://www.expedia.com/Boston-Hotels-Kimpton-Marlowe-Hotel.h903185.Hotel-Information) - [Hotel Veritas](https://www.expedia.com/Boston-Hotels-Hotel-Veritas.h2988851.Hotel-Information) - [Le Méridien Boston Cambridge](https://www.expedia.com/Boston-Hotels-Le-Meridien-Boston-Cambridge.h119162.Hotel-Information) - [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Boston - Cambridge by IHG](https://www.expedia.com/Boston-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Boston-Cambridge.h64573.Hotel-Information) - [The Charles Hotel](https://www.expedia.com/Boston-Hotels-The-Charles-Hotel.h15861.Hotel-Information) - [Ac Hotel by Marriott Boston Cambridge](https://www.expedia.com/Boston-Hotels-AC-Hotel-By-Marriott-Boston-Cambridge.h15191005.Hotel-Information) - [The Windsor Inn](https://www.expedia.com/Boston-Hotels-The-Windsor-Inn.h36337839.Hotel-Information) - [Hampton Inn by Hilton Boston/Cambridge](https://www.expedia.com/Boston-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-By-Hilton-BostonCambridge.h892591.Hotel-Information) - [Courtyard by Marriott Boston-Cambridge](https://www.expedia.com/Boston-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Boston-Cambridge.h1962.Hotel-Information) - [Freepoint Hotel Cambridge, Tapestry Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.com/Boston-Hotels-Freepoint-Hotel-Cambridge.h16577230.Hotel-Information) - [907 Main Hotel Central Square, Sonder by Marriott Bonvoy](https://www.expedia.com/Boston-Hotels-Sonder-907-Main.h40217649.Hotel-Information) - [Ginkgo House on Harvard](https://www.expedia.com/Cambridge-Hotels-Ginkgo-House-On-Harvard.h93677568.Hotel-Information) - [Moxy Boston Downtown](https://www.expedia.com/Boston-Hotels-Moxy-Boston-Downtown.h38766175.Hotel-Information) - [The Westin Boston Seaport District](https://www.expedia.com/Boston-Hotels-The-Westin-Boston-Seaport-District.h1450057.Hotel-Information) - [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Boston Somerville](https://www.expedia.com/Boston-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Boston-Somerville.h544112.Hotel-Information) - [Flights to Boston](https://www.expedia.com/Cheap-Flights-To-Boston.d178239.Travel-Guide-Flights) - [Boston Vacations](https://www.expedia.com/Boston.d178239.Destination-Travel-Guides) - [Car rentals near Boston](https://www.expedia.com/Car-Rentals-In-Boston.d178239.Car-Rental-Guide) - [Boston Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.com/Boston-Vacation-Rentals.d178239.Travel-Guide-VacationRentals) - [Things to do in Boston](https://www.expedia.com/Things-To-Do-In-Boston.d178239.Travel-Guide-Activities)
