Staff was incredible. Room wasn’t large but I was just there to sleep and shower. Bathroom was large and room was comfortable. Area around the hotel is safe with lots of places to eat. I was there for a reunion at Harvard Law School and it was an easy 15 minute walk. Would definitely stay again.

While it was in Cambridge, getting downtown to Boston was easy because the train station was right across the street. Good restaurants and shopping in the area. Hotel was clean and nice.
