Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was great and had lots of options. The only thing we thought was outrageous was the 50$ parking fee each night; on top of spending a decent amount of money already for a 3 night stay. Besides the crazy parking fee, no complaints about this Hotel.

Fantastic location, just a 5 minute walk to the metro to jump on the train straight into the city centre which was also just a 5 minute ride. Bus station combined with Metro to get the bus to Harvard which is onky just 2 miles away. Would 100% stay here again, hotel clean snd tidy, plenty of choice at breakfast too.
