Summary: Location is excellent. Staff is attentive. Only drawback is that the water pressure in the shower is low and does not come with a hand held shower head. The pillows are so light weight and I had to ask for extra firm pillows.

Summary: A nice hotel in a the middle of Harvard Square. Service is reasonably good, facilities are well maintained and attractive. Rooms are nice but mine did not include shampoo or conditioner and the bathroom mirror TV did not work. Also, the card slot for the room power was not working well only and only engaged after multiple attempts which is not fun when you are tired and got in late. I watched a movie and got billed for it 8 times, which required a call to the front desk after checkout to get corrected. So while a nice hotel they have some shortcomings.
