Located in the heart of Harvard Square, you’re within easy walking distance of everything here! Fortunately, there are restaurants nearby, as there is only coffee, juice and the like available directly at the hotel. Extremely comfy beds and nicely appointed rooms (safe, too!). Will definitely consider staying here again if travels take me back to Cambridge! A little pricey, but no more so than anything else in this neighborhood!!
