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

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
