Top Harvard Yard Hotel Reviews

Lark Hotels 907 Main

4/10 Poor

"Stayed 5 days. They didn’t make our room the first day so we asked why at the reception. They told us that we should have asked. So we did, to be made every day. Didn’t happen. During the 5 days they made it 1x. There is no other service, no fresh towels and one ends up paying $550 a night for a very small room. There are better places in Cambridge to stay at."

Porter Square Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was fairly clean, and the housekeeping staff is also super nice. The location is super convient. I was able to park at Alewife, and use the red line to navigate my trip. On our second night, a Monday, we struggled to sleep because the restaurant in the lobby was playing loud music with a fair amount of bass until after midnight. We were unfortunately staying right on top of the restaurant. We checked in with the front desk about it, but they weren't able to help, and did not offer earplugs."
