We had an excellent stay at Morrison House. Central location, cute house, clean and large room with smart folding bed solutions. Excellent self-service breakfast. The perfect relaxed yet elegant B&B. Absolutely fantastic service. We arrived more than 24 hours late due to weather delays. They shifted our reservation by one day at no extra cost. Highly recommend. Will definitely come back.

It was a great place to stay but disappointed with the welcome and the “housekeeping” which only entailed emptying the bins.

Wonderful stay

I stayed a couple of days at the Davies inn and then moved to the Morrison . It was a wonderful stay . The area is peaceful and a block away from the T that will bring you in central in less than 30 min. The place is very calm and has a homy feel . I had breakfast everyday with perfect strangers and had the most pleasant conversations that I will remember . If I ever come back to Boston I will stay there again

We stayed here for a long weekend. It was a short walk to the subway. The owners were helpful in providing information. The property is super cute and a comfortable stay. Somerville is nice area with plenty of food options and obviously quick subway/train stops away from tons of places. I would absolutely choose to stay here again over other options.
