“The location is superb, steps from Harvard University and close to Harvard Square, but the interiors are a bit dated for the price; however, the staff is fantastic and the free breakfast is a real treat, with both healthy and indulgent options. It's a place for those who value service and location over cutting-edge design. If you are looking for exceptional service, you will not be disappointed.”
