A Friendly Inn

Fodor's Review:

For a basic room and friendly service, this wallet-pleasing inn, within short walking distance to Harvard Square, can't be beat. It's a popular choice for visiting University professors and parents, who appreciate the homey, boardinghouse feel, great location, and value-packed price point. The simple, white-glove-clean rooms have plain furnishings, small, private baths, and comfy-enough queen beds. A few nice touches, like free Internet, 24-hour coffee and tea, and free parking, make this one of the best lodging deals in the area. Pros: Location; free parking; and low rates. Cons: Bathrooms are small, with stall showers (no tubs); furniture and furnishings are a bit used and worn.
