We’ve stayed here a couple times before and will go back again next time we will be in the area. The location is great; right by train station (T & commuter), many restaurant options, CVS, Target, etc. Even the smaller room feels spacious with a storage bed. Staff is s welcoming :) My only callout would be since width of shower curtain is narrower than the shower stall and also a little too short, the bathroom floor gets very wet every time we take a shower……

This hotel is in the PERFECT location—convenient for riders of the purple T commuter line, for those needing the red line in to Boston, and for those wanting to experience Cambridge life right there on Mass Ave. The only thing we didn't care for was how HIGH the bed was. It was very scary and we were almost afraid that we would fall off onto the hard wooden floor in our sleep! But everything else was great—thanks!
