A very modern, clean, attractive new-build. The room was a bit on the small side but very attractive and had 10-foot ceilings. Bed was very good, TV was large enough to see easily (many hotels have TVs that are too small). The bathroom was large and very attractive, but the door to the bathroom was a "barn door", not a traditional door so the seal was not good and bathroom sounds could be heard in the main room. No microwave in the room.
The "parking" that the hotel offers is only valet parking at over $30 and street parking is almost impossible.

Lindsay, Thanks so much for giving our hotel a try! The hotel is indeed a newer build and absolutely has rooms on the smaller size, we do note this in both the naming of the room and in the descriptions on all the websites that host our availability. Due to the smaller nature of our rooms the architect did attempt to utilize pocket doors for our restrooms to capitalize on the space of each room, though probably did not think about the sounds that might permeate these doors. Our parking is mandated by Cambridge and the rate is also set by them, so unfortunately due to the removal of the spaces nearby our hotel, this is typically the only available or viable option for our guests. We appreciate the details in which your review was so thought out and thanks for noticing our intricacies with your consideration. We hope that none of these will diminish your view of our independent boutique in Cambridge, and thanks again for giving us a try!

Really lovely hotel. Everything looks fresh and welcoming. Staff are lovely. The scent and the music are shared with guests throughout the hotel (room floors and lobby) which just made it so relaxing.

This is a wonderful boutique hotel. The rooms are small, but super smart with storage. We had two rooms reserved. My husband and I were at the end of the hall, which was a room on the side of the hotel facing a side street and the main street. My sister had a room that was on the backside of the hotel facing parking. We had a lot of street noise from our room. We could hear cars and the crosswalk alert. With that said, there wasn’t a lot of movement late at night, so the noise was minimal, but expect to hear a lot in the morning. My sister didn’t hear any major noises from her room during any part of the day. The beds were comfy. I loved the location. You could walk to Harvard or hop on the Redline subway, which was across the street, to take you inside downtown Boston. It’s about a twenty minute drive from the airport.

Andrea - What a lovely review you've left us! We completely understand that you had street noise as our inner-city boutique is located on a main artery for the cities of Boston and Cambridge. We often encourage folks sensitive to noise to tell us and we will happily do our best to locate their room away from the street (when possible). If and when you return just let us know and we'll do our part in making your stay even more enjoyable. Thanks for hanging out with us for a couple nights!
