Nice functional place a short drive from downtown Cambridge

Solid place that gets the job done for a reasonable price in Cambridge. Nothing big or fancy but will suit most travel needs. Some road noise but def manageable

Visiting Boston

I stayed for 3 days to visit my daughter in Harvard and my son, 10th grade had a plan visiting other colleges in Boston. We really enjoyed staying there; close to Harvard square, everything that I needed, and very clean. I highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Boston.

Great short stay

Location was exactly what we needed. It’s a little small for 3 grown women and their items for more than a couple days. But it’s as described. Steps were difficult for 75 year old granny, but it was only for 2 days so not a problem. It was clean and had a great shower so we were happy.
