Convenient

We were looking for a place near my son's new apartment in Cambridge that was too small to accommodate his Mom and Dad overnight. Perfect location. Very convenient to where we needed to be for a dinner party, plus there was a Whole Foods Market and a really nice liquor store right out back. Room was large and comfortable. Mattress was a bit on the hard side. Will stay there again next time we're in Cambridge!

too difficult to get to Alewife station

I booked this hotel because it is located on the Red Line and I thought it would be convenient to hop on and off the station. Not so! The shuttle only operates hourly, and not depending on customer needs. There is no good pedestrian access for the easily walkable distance. We regretted booking this hotel.

Good value

The hotel is very comfortable. Looks nice right you walk-in. Like a boutique hotel should. My husband, my 2 kids (ages 14 & 9) and I were very comfy. We have stayed here twice. Breakfast good. There is a little bar off the lobby. Restaurants and Whole Foods right nearby. Starbucks coffee available in the lobby. Staff friendly. Only drawback - no pool. Very short drive to Harvard Square. Hotel parking great!

Pleasant, but a bit far from the action

Very clean; nice breakfast included. It was close to the Alewife T station, but that is a good distance from central Boston. A free shuttle to the station (not a walk a woman would want to take alone at night but fine during the day) and to Harvard Square was a very nice touch. There is convenient grocery shopping right next to the hotel and a little fridge and microwave in the room, so one could save money eating in. TV was limited and the internet was spotty in our room. But I woudl stay here again if the price was right.

The lobster dinner served at the sports shack across the street from the T entrance was amazing. We were looking to goto another place listed on Urbanspoon when the hotel staff recommended the sports bar/dinner. He also provided us with his personal umbrellas because it was raining at the time. The food however exceeded our expectations! It was fabulous!

Wonderfully clean rooms and friendly, helpful staff

Our room seemed pretty new and was super clean. The housekeeping staff is tops. The breakfast was delicious and offered many options including eggs, sausage, and seasoned potatoes as well as cereal, fruit, and yogurt. The staff was gracious, friendly, and welcoming. The location was perfect too; close enough to the action so as to be really convenient, but far enough outside the city proper that we weren't overwhelmed by noise and bustle. In all we had a terrific stay and would definitely stay there again.
