Ask for a room at the back of the property (numbers that end in "01" and "02") if street noise is a concern.

DK Eyewitness "This luxury four-story boutique hotel near Harvard University features mostly queen-bedded, intimate rooms with rich linens, and relaxed contemporary styling."
Rough Guide "Right in Harvard Square, this chic thirty-room European-style hideaway really puts the “ooh” into boutique hotel."
Gayot "What it lacks in space it makes up for in New England charm. Even the maids here are decked out in Brooks Brothers uniforms."
Travel + Leisure "A night at this 31-room Harvard Square hotel would be well-spent lingering in the lobby. Rooms are equally intimate, decorated in warm earth tones with intricate molding details." Full review
Jetsetter "Reimagined Victorian townhouse, with French-modern interiors and smart service in Harvard Square." Full review

Gayot "This popular Back Bay hotel has more to offer than just its ideal location within walking distance to Copley Square, the Prudential Center and trendy Newbury Street."
