Great place for traveller who don't want to pay inflated prices for fancy hotels. Rooms are clean and simply furnished, staff helpful and the fellow guests relaxed. 10 minute stroll to the T and 5 minutes therefter to downtown Boston. Next Harvard University is a great location.

This was a quaint, cozy little place just a short walk away from Harvard Square and Cambridge's other local attractions. Affordable and welcoming.

Small, shabby rooms with broken or cheap furniture and lighting and tired linens. The staff was friendly enough to manage a wan smile, but that's about it. Breakfast was paltry and poor, featuring frozen oranje juice, awful coffee, and truly bad pastries. We would have done better to eat at 7-11.

Wonderful experience. Rooms were bright. Security was excellent. Only guests have access to the building. Vistitors go through front desk. I felt very safe and at home. Lots of restaurants and things to do while I was attending my conference. Staff very friendly. I loved the DSL in my room. I plan to A Friendly Inn every time I am in Harvard.
