It's a nice hotel in a great location, with close access to the train, shops, restaurants and (0.8 mile away) Harvard University. From what I could see, everything was well-maintained, updated and in good condition. You won't have some of the amenities of a bigger hotel there, but that may not matter to you. Especially at the great price I found through Expedia, the hotel was quite satisfactory to me.

The Porter Square hotel is ideally located for anyone planning to spend time in Cambridge or Somerville. The staff is attentive and pleasant but not overbearing or intrusive. The rooms are small but well designed and well appointed. We've stayed there before and plan to stay there again.

We have stayed at Porter Square many times. Prices are generally reasonable for the area. Most rooms are small, some pretty tight, though appointed well with the basics. Don’t expect closets or dressers. Yes to modest desk space, wifi and tv. Clean and well-maintained. Modern and efficient. Cordial and helpful staff

It was an amazingly clean, quiet, and spacious room to rest my tired body in the semi-hard yet comfortable bed mattress with clean comforting pillows. I definitely recommend to everyone!
