    Friendly staff, clean and comfortable room. I liked the complimentary bottles of water and the coffee in the room. I also much appreciated that I was able to print some documents for my travel in the hotel and store my luggage after check out.

    Room was fantastic, staff so friendly and helpful. Comfy bed. Situated right on the square beside the T transport system and local restaurants. Great value for money.

    I chose this hotel because of its excellent location, situated just off the Red Line subway stop in Porter Square, and a short walk to Davis Square. Cambridge itself is a very expensive location to stay in, probably due to its proximity to Harvard...
