Overpriced urban motel
This place was and is an overpriced urban motel in a prime location next to Harvard Square. Rooms are small. Bathrooms are airplane sized with a shower. No ammenities whatsover. Parking is an exhorbitant rate. Try to avoid this overpriced place.

The hotel was situated in a great location. The staff was great and friendly but the hotel could use a good cleaning. Also, the AC in our room was very noisy and made weird noises.

Standing out is the convenience/location of the hotel and the cleanliness. The staff is also helpful, but there is little to help as there is no breakfast not dining option in the hotel.

The excellent location regarding transportation, restaurants/eatery, and shopping. The hotel manager, who was at the front desk in the morning, was very generous, but crews in the afternoon were rather lazy. Any inconveniences were attended timely.
