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.

Very pleased with our recent stay - very clean, comfortable room. Right across from the Porter St T Station. Lots of shops/restaurants within walking distance. Easy check in/check out - friendly staff. Would have loved a mini-fridge in the room - all else 5 Stars!
