Despite it's far from Downtown Boston but not far from Cambridge, this hotel is a great place to stay eespecially their wonderful continential breakfast! Very pleased with their service and their shuttle service when we can't find the hotel, we just got a lift from the subway station and dropping off at Downtown Cambridge to catch the subway! Would definitely... More

Stayed here for six nights at the end of April and took subway to historical sites and museums in Boston and at Harvard University. It is 15 minutes to walk from this hotel to the subway station (Alewife station) and then 20 minutes approximately on the subway to the Boston Common subway stop (Park station). A week's subway pass cost... More

I traveled from a conference in Boston to a family gathering in Cambridge. This hotel is a real find for people staying in Cambridge. The breakfast is wonderful, scrambled eggs, sausage patties, hard boiled eggs, potatoes, muffins and toast. Instant oatmeal, bananas, apples and grapefruit wedges, orange and apple juice, and coffee. The staff is great and very accommodating, we... More

We stayed at Best Western Tria overnight while in town for a baseball game. The hotel was easy to get to, but right off of a rotary which made the entrance kind of difficult to get in to when the traffic was heavy. It has a Starbucks attached, and is next to a few convenient plazas. The hotel was quiet... More

We traveled to Boston for our spring break to visit the historic sites. We spent a great deal of time with the front desk agents as they helped us understand the transit system, they even went as far to recommend which side of the metro to exit from so we could catch our transfer. Jason was a saint, we even... More

Stayed while in town to tour MIT, BU and Northeastern. Places further into Cambridge and Boston were cost prohibitive and we had no interest in driving there anyway. Very convenient location. Hotel is older but our room was clean and quiet. Not enough outlets in room for all our modern electronics without unplugging things (like small microwave and alarm clock).... More

We stayed in this hotel for the Easter weekend. The employees at the front desk are very friendly. Rooms are clean. Breakfast is good. The location is very close to Harvard Square. If you travel with car, there are many gas stations nearby. You turn left to find them.

The hotel staff are great. They have a shuttle van that dropped off guests at Harvard Square and took me to Mount Auburn hospital where a family member is staying.

Steer cear of this disaster. I've never had a worse hotel experience. First, I had to wait 10 minute for check-in...with no line. Then I'm assigned a "no smoking" room on the 4th floor which as soon as the elevator opens you're hit in the face with a cloud of smoke so thick you gasp (never mind the bag of... More
