It's a nice hotel in a great location, with close access to the train, shops, restaurants and (0.8 mile away) Harvard University. From what I could see, everything was well-maintained, updated and in good condition. You won't have some of the amenities of a bigger hotel there, but that may not matter to you. Especially at the great price I found through Expedia, the hotel was quite satisfactory to me.
