Pros: The hotel is modern in design, with Euro-style bathrooms. Once you discover how the lights are turned on and off, everything is fine. We had a nice dinner in the bar. The staff are very pleasant. There is a bike-pedestrian trail (Minuteman Commuter Bikeway) nearby if you want to have a pleasant walk. Also, it's a short walk (equivalent to about 2-3 blocks) to the Alewife Station of the Red Line. It is only 3 stops to Harvard Square and also the Red Line will take you to downtown Boston among other places. There are few restaurants or shops in the immediate vicinity but we had a good dinner in the hotel bar. It does not serve lunch, however. For lunch, I suggest taking the Red Line (3rd stop) to Harvard Yard area, which has many good restaurants, shops, and museums. They do sell packaged sandwiches and other packaged lunch items in the hotel.
Cons: There is construction underway (Oct 2018) and since the office park is being built out, it's possible construction will be a feature for a while to come. The pile driving and other construction activities were kept to 7am to 4pm so it was not a problem sleeping at night. However, if you are going to be hanging around the hotel in the daytime, it can be obnoxious. Also, it can be a little difficult to find this hotel, which is right along the expressway. There are few shops or restaurants in the vicinity but it is a short walk (equivalent of about 3 blocks) to the Alewife Station on the Red Line, so very easy to get into Harvard Square area, where there are great restaurants, shops and museums.

Pros: Near T stop Good price --Overall it got the job done for a business trip, but I would choose a corporate hotel chain for the same price next time.
Cons: Cold and noisy room because of not tight windows Not efficiently run or professional Breakfast was corporate continental breakfast, not a "bed and breakfast" breakfast Greeted at the front door like I didn't belong, but other than that one staff person, others were nice Trouble with providing receipts for business travel

I stayed one night and wasn't there much, and also didn't have breakfast. However, I would absolutely stay again! My room was very clean, cute, and cozy and the bathroom, though being small, was very nice and also exceptionally clean. The location was quiet but close to things. I felt that especially for the Boston area, the price was very reasonable for such a cute little inn!
