    quiet atmosphere
    missing breakfast

    We had a wonderful stay with our three teenagers. The location was perfect for exploring Harvard Square and the charm of the old house added character. The comfortable rooms and quiet atmosphere made for a pleasant family getaway.

    My kids wished there was a breakfast option for us to enjoy together.

    free wireless
    great location

    It was just a solid selection for a weekend breather in Cambridge with definitely value for money. The free wireless worked great in the lobby but was weak in my room. Make sure to grab coffee elsewhere if you're picky about breakfast offerings.

    breakfast options
    unneeded call
    check-out reminder

    I had a delightful time during my recent stay. The location was convenient, just a short stroll away from Harvard. I appreciated the breakfast options available, including cereals and pastries. I traveled with my teen sons, and we found the staff to be helpful. The facilities provided everything we needed for a comfortable visit.

    I did have a brief moment of annoyance when I received a call at 9:45 a.m. about check-out time. It was unnecessary so close to departure.

    bright room
    limited breakfast variety

    My room was bright and cheerful, which made for a pleasant stay.

    The breakfast options were very limited, lacking variety.
