Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The service was great — everyone was helpful and kind. The infrastructure was not so good! The tv didn’t work and remained stuck on one cable channel… and the shower was VeRY difficult to operate (had to call maintenance to turn the nozzle for the shower)… I’m gen x — not an old woman — and I’ve never been unable to turn on a shower without help in a hotel before.
Great location, room was a bit tired, older, stained carpet. Hotel was being renovated, so hopefully new paint and carpet. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

While the property was undergoing an upgrade which made parking more difficult (we did obtain on-street), this is a great location for exploring Harvard Square and the room was comfortable. Staff was accommodating in helping re parking. Good overall, could be excellent after restoration.

The property is undergoing some construction at this time. Convenient to Harvard square and room was small and nice.
Elegant feel and very comfort bed. Our room was very small with no room for opening luggage. The staff was very helpful, particularly Ryan. So nice to have espresso and bottled water available all the time.
