I had a complaint at the very end of my stay. It was about 30 minutes before checkout and I was sitting in the room before leaving and an employee entered without knocking saw me and left. When I opened the door and confronted the male employee (there was a female employee there too), I asked what was going on, I hadn't checked out yet, I was told \"it's ok\". I assured both of them that it sure wasn't ok at all (the door still had that DND sign on the door). I was extremely uncomfortable, less uncomfortable than I would have been at 3 am. I mentioned it at checkout and they said they would talk to them.
Otherwise, my stay was fine. Clean room, good bed, TV worked fine and the location was convenient.

I wanted proximity to the university and the hotel is just a few blocks walking distance from the university, as well as right across the street from a metro station that will also take you to the university.
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.

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

Would have appreciated a full size ironing board instead of the mini one provided as I almost burned myself three times using it as it tipped over. A small fridge and alarm clock would have been useful as we had some pastries that needed to be kept cold along with some drinks. Otherwise, we had a very nice experience. Clean, quiet and affordable. The housekeeping staff were very friendly and helpful. The valet service did a good job with my vehicle also. We will gladly return again.

I was very pleased with the hotel, and would happily stay again.
I liked that they made very sure on their website that we’d know this was a small room before booking.
And it was very affordable for this time of year!
My room was quite well laid out, with quality materials and attention to leaving a low environmental impact.
The overall visual design theme to the hotel wasn’t my very favorite, but it’s lovely, well done, and surely many other peoples’ favorite.
Staff was great.

I don’t mean 4 stars as a negative score. For me, 5 stars is “jaw-dropping”,
4 stars means that everything was very very good.

The best thing about this stay was the location across from the Red Line Porter station it was about 4000 feet to the escalator, with this you have to sacrifice noise levels that were definitely loud for a Hotel . The biggest issue I had was the Mini Split air conditioning it was evidently under the BTU capacity for the small room and it was not really under your control you could make changes to the temperature but only for 30 minutes then it would shut off or go back to the front desk control via WIFI a lot of hotel think so they are fooling us with this temporary control of the air conditioning and heat. You can open the window in the spring to get cooler than the inside air but then here comes the noise level sacrifice elevated too all night . So we slept with the windows open all 3 nights . They open only on the bottom by cranking the bottom end outward so no rain coins enter and the screen was well made no bugs could get in at all. It had all the regular stuff you need soap coffee and free waters . I would prefer full AC access. Shower curtain sticks to you when in shower. Irish bar with good food one block with authentic Irish bartender.bed was just ok and was a double room was small not much bigger than the bed. No fridge no microwave Tv had cable fancy shower head. If your in the showers the others in room can see you thru glass naked diffused a bit but clearly if not a couple may be issue .

Great little place for a weekend trip! Room was small (so pack light!) but not much more space is needed for a short trip. Location was perfect - right outside the Porter stop on the Red Line.

Walls were on the thinner side so there was a small amount of noise from the rooms around us, but we still slept very soundly! Bed was comfortable and the blackout curtains were much appreciated.

Yes the mini-Queen room is small but it’s SO efficient! There’s even a Keurig. The bed was very comfy - it’s one of those with deep mattresses so at 5’ tall I needed a stool to climb into bed. But they have stools. The staff was fun, friendly, remembered us every time we passed through the lobby. Caffe Nero next door is a great coffee shop. YUME noodles across the street is great.

Small boutique hotel directly off the avenue. Lobby is small , but aesthetically furnished.
Front desk staff were very personable except one female, which is why they probably gave her night shift. 😁 She wasn’t terrible, but her disposition didn’t appear very approachable
Rioms wwre super small with queen beds
Bed was comfortable. Room would have benefited having a fridge or microwave. Hotel did have a microwave in basement as well as I’ve machine, but u had to travel in basement to use. They provide u 2 bottles of free water daily, which also was a plus. Hotel located by 24hr store which was great for snacks . They charge $28 a day for valet parking, but street parking nxt to hotel was easily use and accessible.

Everything was genuinely incredible, the staff was great, the rooms were gorgeous and clean, the location was incredible. My only note is the room could not get completely dark.

The room was good along with the staff, but the soundproofing needs improvement.
I could hear someone coughing in another room along with noise in the hall.

I have been making this trip to attend the same annual conference at Harvard Business School for a long time. While having my “go-to” hotels that I usually book for, I am open-minded about new places and/or different types of accommodations, this one being one of them.
The descriptions on the website are generally accurate, but my personal experience was not as sharp as it appeared. Staff members were a stand-out who were all efficient (at check-in), friendly, and helpful. Another highlight is the basement area, where a good-size gym and the spacious business center are located. However, from a constructive perspective, I was not happy with the following
(1)The air conditioner is installed at the top of the wall, which is not the most efficient way to heat up a room because cold air is heavier than hot air. The draft was directly blowing on me and not quiet.
(2)I understand the concept of efficient space usage, but for the same space of the narrow desk, I am not sure why it was a high bar and highchair. I don’t like the metal chair either.
(3)While appreciating the concept and quality of the Beekman 1802 toiletries, something did not work in the soap and body wash as it took too much time to be washed off.
(4)Not enough tea/coffee choices.
(5)The printer in the business center did not really work.

The front desk staff was kind and professional. However I wouldn’t stay here again. The hotel has exceptionally thin walls and it sounded like the person above me was doing jumping jacks all night long.

The staff was young and awesome and the valet service was quick and seamless. You pull right out front and your car stays in the gated lot right behind the hotel which I liked in case we needed to get something or wanted it out fast. The hotel was quiet as a peep and spotless.
It is close to the \"T\" which is super nice and very walkable eateries and stores. We loved our stay and I will for sure come back and see them again. Bed was comfy, shower was nice and they also offer nice coffee and water which is so nice to have. The gym was super cool too! Nice job to the young and sweet staff!

Room was very clean. Staff was pleasant and very helpful. My room was very quiet, with excellent view of Porter Square. The proximity of the hotel to the Porter Square Red Line Station was a huge plus since I decided to go car-less in this trip.
