Consistently dirty and smelly but good location.
Have been coming to this hotel for about 10 years. Only reason is the location. Within walking distance of Harvard Pool (10-15 minutes) and Harvard Square (15-20 minutes). My wife refuses to stay here. The place is dirty. The lobby is dirty. Your shoes stick to the elevator floor. The rooms have the smell of the spray they use to hide a smells you would rather not know about. The carpets are filthy. When you stay there in the winter the fan is turned off. There is no air in the room. You can open the window. As long as there is a strong wind you may get some air. Otherwise photosynthesize. The parking is free, there is an excellent chinese restaurant on the premises and a shopping center across the street with a breakfast place and supermarket.
