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.

Valet parking available, but I didn’t realize at first which caused confusion. we reserved a small room but the bathroom was a bit too confined even though we are not big people. However, we enjoyed our stay. The room was immaculate, staff friendly, bed comfy. Thank you.

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!
