By car the hotel is within close proximity to Cambridge and Boston, and if you want to take a cab into Cambridge, you will find the price quite reasonable. You can take a jog or stroll across the river too and check-out the Harvard tour, you will love it!
The room and bath are adequately clean. It's not pristine; however, you can easily tolerate the level of sanitation.
The staff are personable, helpful, and welcoming. Small courtesies go a long way, which make the hotel a real pleasure stay in.
The hotel is not cheap and what you get in return does not really measure up to the price. You expect quality accommodations and at least a complimentary breakfast when paying this price.
The hotel provides very few amenities and is not in good condition. The décor appears to need refurbishing, the carpets are grimy, and the bathroom is extremely small. To top it off, you can hear other people staying in the hotel not only next to your room, but across the hall as well! There is also a strong smell in the lobby area.
There really is no restaurant or bar in the hotel. Sure, there is the eastern themed restaurant off the lobby, but you may not be satisfied with the meals and have no where else decent to go. In a way you are forced to dine there since the closest dining possibility is a fast food joint. There are places in the nearby city, but nothing immediately close to the hotel.
