My stay at the hotel was a peaceful retreat with a beautiful room featuring a big queen size bed, jacuzzi, and large closet. The location was good, with easy access to nearby restaurants and shopping, although a bit of a walk to the town center. The service was welcoming and professional, especially from Lisa, Kathleen, Christina, and the attentive staff. The dining experience was fantastic with delicious and varied meals each day.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were beautiful and cozy, with a wood-burning fireplace and a two-person jacuzzi tub. The service was incredibly helpful and friendly, going above and beyond to assist us. The location was perfect, just a stone's throw away from Harvard Square. The dining experience was a mixed bag, but the facilities were top-notch.

The hotel is wonderfully decorated with period furnishings, providing fully updated bathrooms and contemporary comforts. The rooms are delightfully decorated, spotless, and bright, thanks to the wonderful housekeepers. However, it is not ideal to have a 20-minute walk to Cambridge town center and the Harvard Square T stop.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were incredibly cozy with their own wood-burning fireplaces, very comfy king beds, and exceptionally soft linens. The service was top-notch, with the staff always willing to assist and even keeping the fireplace stoked for us. The location was perfect, just a short walk to Mass Ave, the subway, and numerous restaurants. The dining experience was delightful, especially the afternoon tea. However, the breakfast options lacked variety. Overall, a great value for money!

I had a pleasant stay at this large inn with nice views of the patio. The shower water pressure was great, and the room was well-equipped with high-speed Internet, HDTV, a refrigerator & freezer, microwave, and a wet bar. Despite being a larger inn, it felt cozy, and the room had everything I needed.

The inn has a spacious and comfortable room on the first floor, but it was really cold during my stay, despite reporting a balmy 67F on the digital thermostat. The service was extremely polite and accommodating, especially when my travel plans changed last minute. The location is wonderful, just minutes away from Harvard Square and a register of historic places, with easy access to public transportation. The dining was acceptable but not exceptional. The facilities were decent but nothing extraordinary.
