It was near Harvard and I could walk to my nephew's apartment and his performances on campus. There was a good coffee shop next door and the T station was across the street with a super nice agent in the Porter station. I got some kind of food poisoning so was pretty ill on my last day. They arranged for late check-out for a nominal fee, which I desperately needed and for which I was very grateful. My daughter got to spend time with her cousin and I was able to rest.

Wonderful hotel close to Harvard and Somerville. I have stayed at Hotel 1868 a few times and I’ve loved every stay. The staff is helpful and the hotel is in a great location to explore Cambridge and Somerville and right on the red line to get around the city.
