Cleanliness in rooms in general was poor. Because of a dirty room, I ended up changing rooms, so I got to see several. All rooms appear to be quite tiny. Rooms overlooking Mass Ave were quite noisy. Rooms have thermostats that are difficult to use and which emit a lot of un-blockable light. I will not stay here again.

Perfect location if you need to be close to public transportation. Located directly across from Porter Square. The hotel was very modern and stylish with rather small rooms, but I was also only a single person. I was just staying the night because my flight home got in late and I work in Cambridge early in the morning. After checking out, the front desk clerk allowed me to keep my bags while I was at work, which was a very nice convenience. I would definitely stay again if I needed to be close to work!

Solid option in this area
Another fine stay at this clean, newer boutique hotel. Very convenient to public transportation (T/Red Line, busses) and nearby hubs (Porter/Davis/Harvard Squares). Staff was friendly and accommodating. Room was cozy but sufficient for one person/2-3 nights. Parking is sparse near here and sister hotel, Porter Square Hotel, down the street--although I always seem to have more luck near PSH and always seem to get a parking ticket near this one. Pillows were not the best so -1 for comfort. Overall, a good option when the price is right.
