Hotel is in a great area around a ton of shops and restaurants! It’s also visible from the nearest T station, so transportation was really easy. Room was clean and comfortable, staff was friendly and gave great recommendations for local restaurants. I was traveling alone and felt safe walking around the area, even at night. I’d highly recommend to anyone!!

Always enjoy this clean, cheap, convenient hotel
Good value for the money as typically much lower priced than other Cambridge options. Good access to public transportation as T/Red Line and busses to Harvard/Porter/Arlington are a few minute walk. Clean new hotel with nice restaurant on ground level. Rooms are small/cozy but fine for solo traveler staying 2-3 days. Staff is always helpful.
