Awesome location and service
Great option for an overnight in Harvard Square! The rooms are cute and functional but not overly frilly. Check in was smooth and the breakfast in the morning is excellent. I got caught in a rain storm so was grateful for the on site laundry and could dry my clothes. The staff are very nice and friendly. Overall it’s a comfortable, quirky totally Cambridge place to stay.
