2 reviews for A Friendly Inn At Harvard
This place is fairly bare bones. But you pay for what you get.
I was at a conference for Harvard and was lucky to make a reservation the day of. When you arrive, you have to ring the door and wait out in the cold until the proprietor comes downstairs and opens the door for you. Waiting for 5 minutes in the cold is no fun!
Then my friend and I got put in room 101. Make sure you are not given this room. Room 101 is right next to the inn's office, which is right next to the stairwell/entrance/pseudo kitchen. So basically you go to bed when the last person gets back to the inn, and you wake up when the first person runs down the stairs nosily or talks w/ the Inn proprietor.
Also, just FYI: they don't have an iron or ironing board.
Good shower, though.
The best part of the inn is its location. It is very close to the Harvard Yard and 7-8 minutes walk to the Harvard Square T-station. Recently, I needed a place to shower and relax for a few hours while visiting Cambridge for a very short trip. I had booked the room for $90 for the 3-4 hours I was planing to be there but when I reached there, the kid at the office gave me the room for $70 including taxes. The room and the linen were clean. I felt the wash-basin taps could be upgraded, overall I would say that it was an okay experience, not impressed but no complains either.
