We were greeted with friendly faces. I had sent a message asking if we could have a double bed instead of a king room, and they could accommodate us. We also enjoyed the coffee and breakfast in the morning. It was within walking distance to the nearby mall and train station. We would stay here again in the future.

Guest rooms feature a work desk and seating area.

Simple Truth Lounge provides an intimate setting and offers cocktails, beer, and wine along with an outdoor patio.

I loved this hotel especially because of its location so near Harvard University, and the bounteous coffee machine choices in the lobby. The staff was very kind and even helped me switch rooms at one point because of a phone issue, and they were always very friendly. They also provided me with some refrigerator space for some leftovers that I had from one night of dining. Great place to spend a couple of nights.

Originally built in 1894, this historic Victorian-style boutique hotel is situated adjacent to the MIT Campus in Cambridge, and features a unique and cozy atmosphere, complete with many modern conveniences.

This Boutique Hotel is one of the nicest hotels I've stayed at. The room was a bit small but very cozy and the bathroom was awesome with a large comfortable jacuzzi tub. All small details made this an amazing stay. The breakfast was very tasty and a decent variety of foods to choose from. Compared to other hotels in the area which do not offer it, it was perfect! The location is right next to MIT and the metro station (15 min to downtown). I strongly recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to visit Boston.
