Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property was beautiful, and everything had an amazing attention to detail. It really felt like a luxury B&B, and not a hotel. So close to everything at Harvard Square!

Everything in this hotel is excellent! The bedding is very comfortable. Stuff is great! The place is so cozy and quiet, with very nice decor that gives a relaxed feel. Amazing atmosphere, if you like privacy and quiet. Everything you need is within walking distance. Highly recommend.
