Porter Square Hotel

Location is excellent. Variety of restaurants, grocery stores, coffee shops, and about a 15 min walk to Harvard Square and Davis Square. Staff were very friendly and professional. The rooms were very clean, neat, and comfortable. Complimentary coffee in the basement along with ice machine, which was very nice.

I chose this hotel because of its excellent location, situated just off the Red Line subway stop in Porter Square, and a short walk to Davis Square. Cambridge itself is a very expensive location to stay in, probably due to its proximity to Harvard and MIT. So, despite not being what I would call a budget hotel, it was one of the better priced options available to me. The room itself was clean and reasonably sized. As I was staying for 5 nights, I was thankful not to be in a shoebox. I didn’t use many of the hotel’s amenities, although the restaurant looked very nice. The staff were pleasant without being over the top and I had a very enjoyable stay.

The hotel is right on Massachusetts avenue, within walking distance of Harvard University. There are several store nearby like the excellent Porter Square Bookstore and a large Star Market for food. Coffee maker in the room is a plus. Friendly and helpful staff.

Porter Square Hotel had a very sleek, boutique-like environment with an excellent location right on Mass Ave in a lively neighborhood full of restaurants. It was immaculate and the AC worked well. The room itself was on the small side which is not surprising for a city hotel. It had a lovely but tiny alcove with a chair and table that allowed one to view the activity on the busy street outside. The beds were super comfy and the linens crisp.

The hotel was very reasonably priced, and is excellent value for money. The receptionist was very helpful at check-in, and when I asked for a room away from the main road, he offered me an upgrade for an excellent price. The room was spotless, well-appointed and extremely comfortable. The same receptionist was on the next day, and he was super-helpful with local and transport information (as was his colleague). I highly recommend Porter Square Hotel.
