The accommodations and especially the service far exceeded my expectations. The friendly young staff was warm, welcoming, and helpful both on the phone and in person. My room was simple, clean, and comfortable. The on-site parking was amazing, and for my needs the location could not have been more convenient. What a pleasant surprise!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The rooms were okay - not huge, and no frills. The location was excellent and the staff was wonderful. Our first room had a leaky shower - would not stop dripping - and the front desk staff immediately switched us to a new room. The WiFi signal was fairly weak, and I had to use my hotspot most of the time.

Great value. Great location.

Excellent location. Friendly staff. Great value. Clean room. Quiet and just what we needed for a weekend getaway to have some good food at restaurants, fantastic concert at Regatta Bar, and museums at Harvard.
