“This property stands out for its commanding location in Harvard Square, making exploring the area effortless, and the fitness center is truly exceptional, equipping guests with top-tier machines. My king room felt spacious and bright, though the heating system could use fine-tuning, and the thoughtful touches, like excellent room service soup, made a difference during an unexpected illness. I found the staff remarkably friendly and helpful, contributing to a generally smooth and positive stay despite minor room quirks.”
