The staff--it takes great staff to make a great stay. From the first front-desk greeting and helpful tips on getting around, to the excellent maid service, and the food, I enjoyed my stay. And I was grateful for the parking.

Cambridge is an easy, safe and picturesque place to walk...
Cambridge is an easy, safe and picturesque place to walk around. The streets are clean, the parks are beautifully maintained and there is stunning historic architecture, as well as quaint shops and eateries everywhere. We particularly enjoyed seeing the beautiful Memorial Hall. It's a pity visitors can't look inside, into the Annenberg Hall dining area, but we appreciate that the Harvard students may not like an audience whilst eating : ). The Harvard University of Natural History is fantastic and the Glass Flowers exhibit is a must-see! Being a rower, I enjoyed seeing the beautiful Weld Boathouse and Newell Boathouse and watching crews row up and down the Charles River. If you love books, The COOP bookstore is well worth a visit and if you enjoy ice-cream, I would highly recommend getting a Taiyaki (Japanese ice-cream) from Taiyaki NYC in Church Street. The ramen at Boston Ramen at 24 Holyoke Street was delicious and I would highly recommend grabbing a waffle and coffee from the food truck parked in the Harvard Science Center Plaza. If you're going into Boston, I would highly recommend the Boston Tea Party Ships and museum experience (an excellent interactive, re enactment experience), having a ride on the beautiful Greenway Carousel and walking through the Boston Common, seeing the 'Make way for ducks' statue and, for the 'Cheers' tv series fans, visiting the Cheers bar.

Comfy room, clean and modern with friendly staff.
Comfy room, clean and modern with friendly staff. Booked in advance, was quoted $186 tax included. But, at check-in I was notified that it cost $25 per day, per parking spot and a $75 fee that would be returned (5 to 7 days) after checkout. Plus they wanted $20 per person for breakfast. Total: $326 for 2 people for one night. Nice place, but won't spend that to stay there again.

It's in a good location for Cambridge, and even not far from Boston amenities. It is NOT right near Harvard campus, though, if that's what you're looking for ... but not far.
The facility is fine - an inn, not a hotel, but with room amenities of a hotel.

One can get to a residence or a hotel easily from Logan airport.
If you walk to Harvard, you can enjoy watching red leaves on the way.
As Harvard square is a walking distance, shopping, sightseeing and joining conference are very convenient. You can enjoy Continental and sophisticated atmosphere because the University of Harvard is very near.

Cambridge is much nicer than Boston, and the Harvard Campus is wonderful to walk around, with big trees and lots of open spaces. There are good restaurants too - we really enjoyed The Druid Irish pub. There is also a lot to see and do. Two days was too short to go to everything we wanted to visit.

Excellent hotel, comfortable rooms, with a beautiful view.
Excellent hotel, comfortable rooms, with a beautiful view. The area is very safe and quiet, relatively close to the center and the airport. The indoor pool is very nice. There is a coffee shop on the first floor that sells Starbucks products. The rooms with very comfortable beds, excellent coffee as well as a spacious safe. Excellent hotel.
Well positioned hotel just across from the Porter Sq T stop on red line. Very clean and staff welcoming and efficient. Room well equipped with plenty of free water and coffee available plus ice machine in the basement. Bed was large and comfortable and bathroom well equipped with good shower. Hotel was good value in a city of crazy hotel prices and it was really simple to travel into central Boston on the T. Good choice of bars and restaurants in the area (Shine Sq Bar best value and friendliest that we found). Overall a comfortable stay
I lived in NY. I came Boston with my son for his educational trip. I love Boston city, nice and clean. People are very polite, educated and helpful. I set up my mind tha my son will try to get admission at MIT or Harvard university. I stayed at Holliday inn hotel. I loved it, nice and properly clean. This hotel is inside the city. Restaurant, Park, university everything are near, not far. If I go again Boston I will stay this hotel.. Thank you ❤️
The room was fantastic. The decor throughout the whole hotel is beautiful, tasteful, interesting.
Seeing a signed picture of John F. Kennedy made me very aware of the connection to the past that can be found in the area, together with the sense of vital youth that pervades Cambridge,
I also loved all the reminders that the building used to be a fire station from the "Do Not Disturb" signs to the coasters in the room
The breakfast was amazing! Better then my wife and I planned. The gentleman who was at the desk on June 17th in the afternoon, helped us with our taxi and told us the best ways to get around town! He gets an A! The people who made breakfast were helpful and very nice! My wife and I really had a great time for our first time. Our next trip to Fenway we plan on going to this same hotel!
Excellent location near many great restaurants and pubs and the train. It looks newly renovated so is super clean and very comfortable. Valet parking is a little expensive but we found a cheap ‘spot hero’ parking space nearby. There are also parking meters outside the hotel that were easy to find - at least when we stayed (mid-August) where you can park for free from 8pm until 8am.
Staff at front desk always helpful and genuine interest to help. Appreciated ability to engage in conversation and facilitate making you fell comfortable in hotel area and city. Always a HELLO or “how was your night”. Hotel so clean despite short staffed housekeeping . Cambridge area great location for trains and travel in Boston.
The front desk staff was very hospitable and welcoming. They did their best to accommodate us while moving my daughter into her dorm at Harvard. If you are looking to be close to campus there is nowhere better in Cambridge. We did not use a car but the parking area felt very safe and our room was nice and spacious.
A very good place. Clean, pleasant, and quiet. A great convenience is the all-day access to coffee and tea, as well as cookies. The breakfasts are very tasty and varied. Very close to the center of Cambridge. About 20 minutes by subway to downtown Boston.
Location is perfect for exploring Harvard and Cambridge. Just 2 blocks from the Harvard Arts Museum and Harvard Square.
Comfortable bed and pleasant room with the touches of an Inn rather than a chain hotel.
Owners were very helpful and efficient.
Well designed room, amazing looking bar, excellent shower pressure with great toiletries and a super comfy bed! It was also a 2 minute walk to the T (public transport) station, making it very convenient to get into Boston and Cambridge.
The hotel staff is superb. We were in Cambridge for my husband’s surgery and were so well taken care of at the restaurant, by the front desk (Devon and all the staff), the wine and coffee (thanks Ben!). Very grateful!
the location in Cambridge did work for us, with the metro it's only a few stops from Boston South station. some good food spots around the corner as well. at Massachusetts Ave are a lot of bars and quite a nightlife.
Excellent in every way. Professional and friendly service. Good rooms. Love the firehouse history. Breakfast was the best "American buffet breakfast" I have had outside of a 5 star hotel. Best bacon I've had in usa
The location was great for going to Boston only thing we found was no places to eat nearby. The food in the hotel is very limited. The rooms are beautiful and updated with various technology
