Breakfast is poor, for such amount of stars should have been better, no warm food at all, just eggs

OkayFeb 20144.3
Location is pretty good, with 10 mins to Harvard square and 20 mins to Porter square; fairly stable internet.
The room was tiny, so was the TV (and placed on a high cupboard); no option to not have towels replaced everyday; have to go out to the hallway to make tea/coffee; slow internet.

OkayNov 20104.3
The location is excellent and the staff was perfectly friendly. Room was adequately clean.
Room was very small and awkward, extremely basic appointments - would have been fine at a bargain price but for almost $200 per night after taxes, it was far from a bargain. To be fair i didn't find anything cheaper in Cambridge, but still i was disappointed - I should have stayed further out and taken the T in
