    I enjoyed my stay and access to Henrietta’s Table and Harvard Square.

    Property is nice. A little bit dated although I stayed in the wing that appeared a bit newer.

    Parts of the carpeting is old and some staining. The bed was too soft and the mattress pad made it even worse.

    Just about everything

    The price for overnight parking $65.00 is obscene
