    lack of charm
    need for extension cords

    I stayed in a Double Room for 10 nights. Super cozy spot! The breakfast choices were amazing, with lots of fresh options. Just a heads up, I felt the room lacked some charm and could use more electrical outlets for charging. But honestly, Marc's hospitality made up for it!

    breakfast variety
    community feel
    street noise

    The breakfast variety shines with fresh pastries and hearty options. The close-knit community feel adds a personal touch, where it's easy to interact with fellow guests.

    Noise from the street can be a real distraction, seeping into the serenity you might expect. Not having blackout options for the windows means waking up with the sun, even if you're not ready. Further, the basic furniture lacks the flair you might find in more upscale settings, which can feel underwhelming during a longer stay.

    delicious breakfast
    friendly atmosphere
    street noise
    lack of blackout curtains
    extension cord shortage

    A good breakfast spread with delectable fries and fresh pastries started each day on a high note. Marc, the innkeeper, creates a cute atmosphere that enhances the experience. Noise from the street can be disruptive, and the lack of blackout curtains means early sunrises are inevitable. There's also a noticeable need for extension cords to charge devices conveniently by the bedside.

    affordable pricing
    friendly staff

    This place is just a great match for shopping in Cambridge with good price value. The friendly staff really made an effort to keep everything clean and organized. Bring your own extension cord if you want to charge devices by your bed.

    Charming, Charming, Charming

    The breakfast variety was good, with everything from fresh pastries to hearty options that set the perfect tone for the day. Marc, the innkeeper, brings the warmth of home with his personalized attention and very nice cooking. It reminded me of staying with a friend rather than a stranger at a hotel!

    Comfortable Stay with Some Handy Tips!

    I enjoyed a cozy solo retreat for 10 nights. The breakfast was a highlight, with a good variety. I recommend bringing an extension cord for bedside convenience while charging devices. The atmosphere felt cute, thanks to the attentive staff.

    This hotel had a great location that was perfect for visiting both MIT and Harvard campus. The atmosphere was very homey and the staff were friendly. Plus, they provided basic amenities like milk, eggs, and bread for guests to make their own breakfast.

    No negative aspects to mention, everything was great!

    Staying at this hotel was like living in a big house with very mature housemates. I really enjoyed having big comfortable rooms and a big kitchen with lots of options for snacks and breakfast. The staff was very friendly, especially Mark, who was always around to help with anything I needed. The hotel's location was excellent, as it was close to transportation options and the MIT and Harvard campuses. this hotel was a great value for money.

    There was nothing I didn't like.
