Could not ask for a better location than right in the middle of Hahvahd Square. Staff were friendly, rooms were quite spacious and clean, and coffee was available at all times. Bed was very comfortable and not too soft (just the way I like it). All in all we had a great stay and will be back.

Room is bare minimum. Cooling and heating is old and wonky. TV with cable and no streaming or casting. Sheets and bed were clean and comfy and the location in relation to campus is great! No room service or restaurant, but great bakery next door. Expensive for what it is but the location just might make it worth it.
