This hotel room was unfortunately very dirty, with dark spots all over the carpet, and hair in the shower. My room key needed to be replaced twice in my one night stay as well, as it became demagnetized just from being in my bag. Unfortunate stay.

the property is right above the subway and next to a main street so it is noisy.

Terrific boutique alternative to the big brand hotels in the Harvard area, attentive staff, renovated to the best modern standards, yet in a beautiful old building, recommend highly. A few minutes walk to Harvard Square, to boot.

5 out of 5

Comfortable smaller property close to Harvard.

Pros: I like the smaller hotel option.
Cons: We didn't realize there was no bar or restaurant there. The city was subject to a blizzard and I didn't want to go outside.
Location: Close to Harvard, but the city was snow covered and did not explore surroundings.
Clean, comfortable, nice staff--no complaints there.
