It's a nice hotel in a great location, with close access to the train, shops, restaurants and (0.8 mile away) Harvard University. From what I could see, everything was well-maintained, updated and in good condition. You won't have some of the amenities of a bigger hotel there, but that may not matter to you. Especially at the great price I found through Expedia, the hotel was quite satisfactory to me.

Liked: Amenities
We have stayed at Porter Square many times. Prices are generally reasonable for the area. Most rooms are small, some pretty tight, though appointed well with the basics. Don’t expect closets or dressers. Yes to modest desk space, wifi and tv. Clean and well-maintained. Modern and efficient. Cordial and helpful staff

It was an amazingly clean, quiet, and spacious room to rest my tired body in the semi-hard yet comfortable bed mattress with clean comforting pillows. I definitely recommend to everyone!

Location was wonderful, the room was impeccable, and the staff were very helpful. I frequented the business center with wifi, restrooms, comfortable couches, and water, tea, and coffee. I had a ginger beer at the restaurant next to the entrance. Outside, the T station, Porter Square shops and Restaurants were right across the street. This is a choice in hotels that I would make again.
