The property was beautiful, and everything had an amazing attention to detail. It really felt like a luxury B&B, and not a hotel. So close to everything at Harvard Square!

Everything in this hotel is excellent! The bedding is very comfortable. Stuff is great! The place is so cozy and quiet, with very nice decor that gives a relaxed feel. Amazing atmosphere, if you like privacy and quiet. Everything you need is within walking distance. Highly recommend.

The entire hotel decorating is warm, cozy and beautiful. We enjoyed the breakfast and the lounge room with fireplace. I enjoyed reading one of the books in the lounge while I drank coffee and ate a warm biscuit. Maggie was an outstanding hostess. It felt more like a high end bed and breakfast than a hotel. It was a memorable stay. We took photographs of the decorating because we wanted to remember some of the layers of color and texture.

This is a lovely hotel that feels like a B&B rather than somewhere cold and corporate. My only complaint was that my room had no wardrobe, closet or hangers, and that I could hear people walking overhead in the early morning, but the management promised to take care of these matters. It's a new place and they are sorting out a few kinks. But the location is perfect, the price is good, and it is really very pleasant indeed.
