This is a great hotel and a great location, close to Harvard and train to downtown. We took the mini room and as expected it’s very small but has everything we needed, it was very clean and very comfortable. The staff were polite, friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend this hotel and we’ll be staying again if we go back to Boston.

We reserved a mini room and it lived up to its name! It was quite small but just fine for an overnight stay. It was very clean and a nice building. The bathroom was very small with little space to place toiletries, that was the main challenge but we made it work.The lobby was decorated nicely. There are many shops and restaurants in easy walking distance. The parking is challenging in the area and it is valet parking only for the hotel itself. The parking price was reasonable for one night and we got our car quickly when requested. Overall I would recommend this hotel, just be aware that the mini room is tight.

Very convenient location right by the T and easy to walk to dining and shopping options. Interior design was nice, bed was comfortable, bathroom and shower worked well. The only downside was that the room was very small with minimal storage space (no closet in the bedroom, no cabinet in the bathroom, skinny desk with 1 small chair), so it was really cramped to have 2 people. This would be perfect for a short solo visit, but not ideal for longer stays with 2 people.

This hotel was built only a few years ago and you can tell! It was incredibly quiet! The ceilings are high and the shower was so good. Also very convenient for walking to Harvard or taking the T in. There are cvs and Safeway across the street if you need anything.
