    It is only 7 min easy walking distance to Davis Square, so it has an ideal location if you have a student at Tufts University where you can use the shuttle at no cost. You can also take the Red Line to Boston City Center. The hotel does not offer breakfast (only tea and coffee) but across the street is Pemberton Market where you can find lots of different things to eat and drink. The area is quiet and safe.

    Location was perfect – close to the metro station with easy ride to Boston. Just a 10 minutes walk to the Harvard campus. A big supermarket and options to eat just outside. There was no fridge in the room but it was brought in by request. Good price for valet parking – $28 per night. Possible to pay with cash.

    The room was clean and tidy and the hotel has a strong character with little fire engines miniature all over the hallways. The location is excellent and closed to the metro station to get to the city centre in less than 15m or with a nice walk. Very convenient to visit MIT which is

    I had a lovely and very large room. Bed was comfortable and location was very good. Free parking was a bonus too. Staff were very nice and friendly. Overall I would say it was good...it's not high end but I wasn't expecting that. It's a comfortable place to stay in a good location at a good price for the area

    The location was perfect for our Cambridge stay — convenient to everything since I did not rent a car. Darwins, a delicious sandwich shop, is right down the street, and Harvard Square is a comfortable walk away. The room was a little dated and could use a facelift (e.g., toilet seat was peeling), but this was a budget-friendly option in a good location. You won’t find fancy add-ons here — but it’s a convenient and clean place to sleep.

    Main reason for visiting Boston was Boston Marathon. Hotel is located in Cambridge, very closed to Boston city center. Subway is in front of the hotel. A big supermarket is nearby hotel. Room was very large with fridge and coffee maker. Room was cleaned daily. I have nothing to complain to the hotel, location or staff.
