Great location in Harvard Square with convenient parking. Rooms are small, however. The free coffee and tea are a nice touch.

We wanted to stay in Harvard Square to attend an event and this looked to be a good option. The structure is older but was extensively remodeled to a modern style throughout. The rooms and baths are still on the small size for US hotels, however. Also, I thought that the Expedia description showed that there was an in-house cafe in the hotel; not so! There is free coffee and water in the lobby, but no food and no snack vending machines. However, it is right next door to the wonderful Flour Bakery and Cafe and very close to all other dining choices, including The Charles Hotel. Parking ($45/day with in-out privileges) is available on the entrance level although if the hotel is full, I assume that is first come first served. Room is modern, bright but there are some minor maintenance issues being worked on. It was still a good option for us and maybe for single travelers or anyone who wants an affordable room near the Square. Rates for big weekends will be priced at "market rate" as we say for Lobster here in New England.
