The valet parking service is really good! It is very convenient to eat and shop nearby, and it only takes a few minutes to drive to Harvard! The price is reasonable and very satisfied

A pleasant stay. If you have luggage and need to take the subway, this hotel is very convenient. It is very close to the subway station and has an elevator. Although the room is relatively small, the planning is relatively reasonable. Two 28-inch suitcases can be placed. The hotel environment is relatively modern. Mineral water is provided every day. If cleaning is required, please inform the front desk in advance. It would be more perfect if there is a microwave and a refrigerator.

Very close to the subway, one stop from Harvard, three stops from MIT, and you need to change lines to go to the airport. There are a few restaurants opposite, but they are not very delicious. I don't know where the restaurant opposite is from. I ordered rice noodles, which were very sweet. There is also a rice bowl restaurant on the opposite corner, and the taste is hard to describe. There is a good pizza restaurant at the exit of Harvard subway station, and many people eat there.

Pros: good location close to the MBTA station, free coffee/tea/water, stable Wi-Fi, clean rooms. Cons: very small and narrow rooms considering the common US hotel standards, no buffet breakfast provided, no gym at the premises (it is located in another hotel nearby though).

The lady at the front desk is very nice. The hotel is in a good location, very close to the Porter subway station, 2 minutes away. There is a fast food restaurant opposite the hotel, which is convenient for breakfast. There are also supermarkets, restaurants, etc. American hotels do not have slippers, combs, toothbrushes and toothpaste.

The room was clean and tidy, the facilities were complete, the staff was nice, there were many delicious restaurants nearby, and it was close to Harvard. What I liked most was the French windows in our room, which let in the sunlight and was very comfortable.
