The hotel's location at the Charles in Cambridge is unbeatable. It is just 1-2 blocks from Harvard Square and only 1 block from restaurants and cafes. Additionally, the Red line stop is a short 2-3 blocks away, making it very convenient for transportation. The hotel facilities, particularly the pool, were excellent. With three lanes, I enjoyed a peaceful swim there in the morning. The cleanliness of the hotel was also top-notch, and I appreciated the newly renovated bathroom. Lastly, the staff were incredibly helpful and understanding, even organizing a mini fridge for my room.
Everything is what I need and want.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The location was perfect, as I was able to easily explore Harvard Square, visit the Sanders Theater and the Harvard Art Museum, all within walking distance. The hotel itself was beautiful, with a boutique feel and nice amenities. The staff was incredibly helpful and made me feel welcome throughout my stay. The room was large, comfortable, and clean, with a lovely view of the courtyard garden. I also enjoyed having breakfast at Henrietta's, right in the hotel. the hotel's convenient location to all the attractions in Harvard Square made my stay even more enjoyable.
Nothing that I didn't like.
