“What strikes me most is the hotel's position at the heart of Harvard Square; you're steps away from the university and its vibrant surroundings. The recent renovations seem to have paid off, creating a fresh, modern feel throughout. For anyone seeking good value without sacrificing comfort and location, this should be a top consideration.”
