Location, food, service, cleanliness, all excellent.

My daughter and I did not sleep well due to noisy neighbor. AC was not effective for the heat.

"Lovely if a bit exhausting."

9.0

It was a lovely establishment, helpful staff, comfortable room, great shower. My only caveat is that it is a *lot* farther from Harvard Square then the name implies, several times i took an uber back because it was a long walk (especially in the heat) from either Harvard or Porter Square, abd from the bus line. However they have the world best chocolate chip cookies.

AT THE INN everything was great, it was the distance from any public transport.

"If I come to Harvard again I plan to stay here."

10.0

The whole facility was very nice, clean, and well kept. I interacted with 5-6 members of the staff and everyone was helpful and courteous in every way. The room wasn’t large but perfect for my stay. Not pictured in my pictures were a nice computer desk and TV appropriate for the room size. The breakfast was great!

At first I was concerned about the shared bathrooms on the floor I was on but in the end it was no problem at all.
