The hotel is conveniently located in Harvard Square, and parking was a breeze. However, we had difficulty opening the door to our room, and my husband had to use full body force to open it. Similarly, we had to use extreme force to open the door to exit the room. The room was neat and clean, as was the bathroom, but again, we had to use extreme force to turn the shower on. We later discovered that the faucet dripped, and the only way to stop the dripping was to turn it extremely tight.

Good stay
We had a great weekend away to watch the Boston Cannons PLL homecoming. The hotel was extremely welcoming and very friendly. It was a little noisy and rooms could be updated a bit more but overall for the price was worth it.

Very convenient location to Harvard. However, there were two issues with the property. First, the climate control in the room wasn’t great. It was extremely hot and we were unable to get the A/C on. (Maybe it was off in the building in April.). Second, our last morning, there was no cold water in the shower. Scalding hot only!

Overall we had a good stay but the two things that could be improved are that the shower had very very low water pressure and volume so it took a while to shower, and the water dispenser in the lobby was broken (and the tap water did not taste good). Staff was great and everything was clean.

The room was not worth the money paid. There was no AC, the room was a lot smaller than it appeared online, and the tv didn’t have cable connection.
