    Great boutique hotel across the street from the Porter Sq subway station, making it convenient to everything. Clean, quiet and comfortable - really enjoyed my stay at this hotel.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Great location. Small hotel with very small rooms unless you get the few standard corner rooms which luckily we had. Cafe Nero is next door for breakfast. You have to request housekeeping. The room had a queen size bed with a very hard mattress. Cute window bump out overlooking Mass street.. but only one arm chair for some reason..? So we had to take turns to sit and read! lol bathroom is very nice and spacious.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Nice property. The room was clean and modern. We arrived about an hour and a half before check in. Our room was ready so they let us check in without us having to ask.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Otherwise, my stay was fine. Clean room, good bed, TV worked fine and the location was convenient.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    clean room, good staff, no issues. great Taiwanese/Chinese restaurant down the street toward the University and a great Irish pub with live music in the opposite direction. Pharmacy and grocery store across the street near the metro. What more could you ask for.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Fabulously clean, quiet, very comfortable bed. Lighting in bathroom could be better, also be careful to put that metal chair back under the desk before you go to bed or you will stub your toe very hard on it in the middle of the night! Avail yourself of the complimentary bottled water at front desk as the tap is all warm and undrinkable
