Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Great price for the PERFECT location. Small, very clean comfortable rooms. Very convenient parking for less than anywhere nearby. Nice coffee bar. But ... the elevator is not handicap accessible from the front door. An ever-changing (but friendly) cast of front desk staff makes it necessary to explain situations multiple times.

The bed was very comfortable, but the room was very small and so was the bathroom. Also, the fact that food wasn't available in the hotel is inconvenient. The staff were friendly and helpful, though. It would be a good place to stay for people who don't mind very basic hotel accommodations.

Overpriced urban motel
This place was and is an overpriced urban motel in a prime location next to Harvard Square. Rooms are small. Bathrooms are airplane sized with a shower. No ammenities whatsover. Parking is an exhorbitant rate. Try to avoid this overpriced place.

The hotel was situated in a great location. The staff was great and friendly but the hotel could use a good cleaning. Also, the AC in our room was very noisy and made weird noises.
