the hotel maintained perfect cleanliness throughout. the bed provided a super cozy sleeping experience! i appreciated the staff accommodating my luggage storage needs.
the room felt very small for two people, especially considering the price. arranging an early morning taxi to the airport did not happen, resulting in a stressful departure.

the bed was very comfortable, providing restful sleep. the shower offered a good experience. my room featured an inner balcony separated by heavy curtains, this allowed reading in the sunshine.
Location

the location is across from the red line, offering quick access to various destinations. porter square location is very convenient for getting to harvard or kendall square (just two to three stops). the area is peaceful and good for chilling (i liked it!).
