Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Very good value. Friendly and professional staff. Nice breakfast options. Great location. And the Wi-Fi works just fine. However, the single bed was very small annd narrow yet tilting to one side, probably because the other edge was too close to the wall. Technically there was some sort of central air conditioning blowing into the rooms, but it really was insufficient and I found it hard to sleep.

Cristian

Liked: Staff & service
If you’re on a budget in Cambridge this place is probably fine. I found my room to be very loud and uncomfortable with there not being an air conditioner and it being a particularly warm night. Parking is horrific in their small lot. If you drive a pickup or a full sized suv you will have a problem.
