It’s in the midst of everything I wanted. It’s right at Harvard, it’s by the Charles River, for walks and running; the bars and restaurants and cafes are scattered all around; it’s walking distance to daily necessities. And most of all, the buses stops at the corner, and there’s a train stop 2 blocks away.

The hotel has modern interior design, it is stylish, clean and well maintained. The location is awesome: it is close to the Porter subway station (Red Line), few stops from the downtown. There is a large grocery store nearby, a pharmacy, Target, Dunkin' Donuts is just across the street, and there are many caffes and dining options nearby. The neighborhood seem safe and nice. There is a shared space in the basement, with fully functional computers, ice, free coffee machine. Enjoyed my stay, liked it a lot!

I really enjoyed my stay. The room was comfortable and spacious, and the hotel as a whole is beautiful and refined, with a great location & staff. The adjoining restaurant was wonderful, and the gym was good too. The only small feedback I have would be to keep the espresso machine in the restaurant open in the morning so guests don’t need to leave the hotel (although there is complimentary drip coffee).
