The breakfast here was amazing, they had waffles and cranberry french toast made fresh to order! 🥞 The restaurant food was delicious too. My room had a big comfy bed, a cozy chair, and even a living room.

The location is absolutely perfect. Harvard Square has an amazing famer's market right outside the hotel. The subway stop is across the street and the hotel features some of the top restaurants in Boston.

I had a fantastic time at this hotel. The location was perfect - within walking distance to the university, restaurants, and shops. The staff were helpful and accommodating, providing assistance with luggage storage. The room was excellent, with a TV in the bathroom mirror, adding a touch of luxury. I enjoyed a delicious breakfast and made use of the gym facilities. The view of the Charles river was a bonus, as I was able to take leisurely walks along its banks.
Although the service was generally great, there were occasional instances of inconsiderate and condescending behavior from some staff members.

Proximity to Harvard Univ. museums, the subway to Boston, Cambridge historic tours, walking in historic Cambridge, and along the Charles River. Shopping and dining-there are many good restaurants in Cambridge. Views from the hotel, its restaurants with their summer dining patios, attractive cocktail lounges, very helpful and accomodating concierges and all other staff, immediate attention to problems with equipment and plumbing in the room, prompt delivery of breakfast. All in all-excellent.
Down quilts in summer, when there should have been light summer bankets at most. Plumbing in toilets in need of supervision.

The rooms were top-notch, with comfortable beds, spacious layout, and stylish decor. The bathroom was exquisite, with a raindrop shower head and plenty of amenities. The hotel's location was perfect, right in the heart of the city, walking distance to restaurants, shops, and attractions.
One downside was having to pay for bottled water in the room, especially considering the hotel's price. Additionally, it would have been nice to have a complimentary tea/coffee station.

Wi-Fi was very poor. Had an "engineer" come to the room- twice, he also could not make it work. Asked the concierge to arrange for a taxi the night before my early-morning departure- to Logan airport. The taxi was there, but the driver said only a fixed-price rate was available (not the case if I had walked 10 ft away from the hotel). The fixed price was ridiculously high, and the driver attempt to make it even higher- saying tolls were not included - even though his Rate Sheet said they were. The hotel/concierge should screen the taxi companies they use better.

The hotel has a charming and comfortable ambiance, and the staff is welcoming and helpful. The rooms are clean and quiet, with comfortable beds. The breakfast was superb, and the gym was top-notch. I highly recommend this hotel.
