I forgot some items in the room when I checked out. I returned to Canada and I was called by the hotel to let me know they had found the items and made arrangements to ship them to me. One item is quite expensive. Great customer care and service.

I wish we could have stayed here longer, but we just needed a hotel close to the T for a night. It's a great building right in Porter Square. The staff is really friendly and check-in was a breeze. We go through Boston regularly and will definitely check out Porter Square Hotel next time we need a room.

We really enjoyed our our stay at the Porter Square Hotel. The suite we stayed in was spacious and comfortable, and the staff was very friendly. While there is no gym at the hotel, they offer access to the gym at a hotel just down the street. Access to the red line made public transportation a piece of cake. Great stay, would absolutely return!

It's walkable to Harvard University. It's a very clean hotel. Their restaurant has great food. The staff is very nice. There's a 24 hour CVS across the street. The Metro stop (Porter) is across the street. There's a few dining options around with an Indian food restaurant next door. I really liked this hotel. I would stay here again.
