The hotel is ideally located within Harvard Square, making it convenient for exploring shops, restaurants, and the university campus. The rooms are clean and cozy; however, having a larger bed and extra seating would enhance the comfort. The service was a mix of professional and helpful with occasional struggles in communication. The location stands out for its accessibility and proximity to amenities, though some noise from bathrooms could be heard. The dining experience lacked breakfast options but was adequate. Overall, a good value for the price with potential for improvements.

The hotel was a mixed experience. Despite the cozy, clean, and comfortable rooms in a great location, the initial inconvenience of warm room temperature, dirty sheets, and trash needs attention. The service staff were outstanding overall, although some lapses such as not informing about the non-working AC were noted. The location was superb for accessing shops, restaurants, and the university. However, dining options were limited, with no onsite dining available, affecting the overall experience.

The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of Cambridge, making it a great choice if you want to be near Harvard. The rooms, although a bit on the snug side and with an unpleasant smell, are kept at a low temperature. The service, particularly the helpful and friendly staff, was a highlight, though the elevator being commandeered during cleaning inconvenienced guests. The location, right in Harvard Square and with easy access to transportation, is superb for exploring the region. The dining options, like the Kendall, offer small continental breakfasts, and facilities are basic.
