    Rooms are well kept and clean. Valet parking is only $25 (very inexpensive for parking in a major city). Staff is helpful with directions and bottled water. Hotel is centrally located in Somerville and in a safe neighborhood.

    An attractive, clean and well-maintained hotel with friendly and helpful staff, well-situated nearby Harvard Squate and very close to a subway line. Our only cavils were smallish room, the air-conditioning was somewhat too cold (and had Toto be regulated by the reception counter) and the lack of any food service.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Excellent choice if in the area. T station right across the street. Lots of restaurants in the area. Valet parking for the, like me, who prefer T or Uber/Lyft to travel within Boston.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Very nice and easy to deal with. Always a staff member at the desk to answer questions and they were great to work with over the phone when we had a question about our check in. Comfy beds, would definitely stay here again.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    This was the SMALLEST hotel room I have ever encountered! Our cruise cabin was larger. There was hardly anyplace to even open the suitcase!

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Very good location, nice hotel. The room was small but neat.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Great location, boutique, small room, didn’t use any of the amenities. Hallway could get loud.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Very nice hotel next to the red line. Good food options around it. Very good value

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Guests, please tip your valet drivers and housekeepers- we got the sense that this doesn’t usually happen!!

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Everything went smoothly and I had a great stay there

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Stayed in a mini room so no mini fridge, something to consider if you’re used to having one. Other than that the mini wasn’t too small, still room to walk around the bed and have your luggage. Bathroom was nice and clean. AC worked well. It’s in a good area and super close to public transport. I would stay here again!

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Gem of a hotel with an excellent business center. Easy to get to from the airport as it’s down the street from the T. Excellent staff. Pretty decor. Will return to this hotel.

    Had a great time at this hotel, which was an ideal location for Boston and Cambridge.
