    This hotel was very nice. I did not know I was going to have to stay in the Boston area. I was happy to have a robe available. Also I was given a toothbrush and toothpaste at the front desk.

    Location is great. Super close to the red line and only one stop from Harvard and 2 (or 3?) from MIT. Lot's of food options within a 2 minute walk. This hotel was the lowest cost option I could find within easy reach of Harvard & MIT.
