We have stayed here three times, and plan to do so again, The Victorian side is our favorite, partly because of the decor of the rooms (MANY have fireplaces and canopy beds) but also because you can get to the (very cosy)downstairs breakfast room without putting on a coat! With the addition of the boiled eggs, the Continental breakfast becomes a substantial meal - and if you want something that's not on offer, you are free to pick it up at the very nice gourmet grocery across the street and store it in the refrigerator. Most of the staff members are very friendly and helpful; last summer a group of us were there for a wedding, and the staff kindly organized a car service to take one of the late-comers out into the suburbs for the reception. We appreciate the free parking as well as the proximity to the MTA and some very nice restaurants withing walking distance. The beds have been comfortable and we have never had a problem with noise. The bathrooms are slightly cramped and yes, they just have shower stalls. That said, it's an excellelnt value for the location. We look forward to returning.

We stayed in the main house and it was romantic and lovely. We took a theme room with a gushy four poster feather bed, and a crackling fire place, and crystal decanter of sherry and one of port. So relaxing! Everything was decorated to emulate the Victorian era. Loved it. Breakfast was nothing much but there are plenty of places to eat breakfast in Boston. The main lobby was wonderful and smelled really good. Go for the atmosphere and get that theme room. SO cool.

Stayed in a "contemporary" room in the main building, which was nicely decorated, clean, and quite comfortable. The bathroom had only a shower stall (not a problem for me, but might be for others expecting a soaking tub). The morning breakfast was pretty decent (continental plus boiled eggs), and they also have a tray of chocolates and other treats which you can help yourself to in the evenings. The property is a 5 minute walk to the Davis Square Metro station (Red Line), which will take you to Harvard (2 stops) and MIT (4 stops) and all the way to Boston South Station where you can catch the Silver Line to the airport (all in 1 fare). The Inn keepers are friendly and accommodating. I originally booked 2 nights here to attend a conference at MIT, but wasn't able to arrive the 1st night due to transportation difficulties during Hurricane Sandy - and they refunded that night. I'd stay here again.

Decided to try a B&B instead of a hotel - this place is sort of a hybrid. Our room was spacious and clean, nice bathroom, noisy window air conditioner. Location is very convenient and the free parking is a real bonus. Front desk staff wasn't particularly welcoming or friendly and we didn't try the breakfast, but would probably stay here again.

Family recommended this B and B for our recent stay in Cambridge. The place is HUGE, consisting of the main building and an annex next door. It resembled what a Best Western would look like, if the Best Western was a B and B. Breakfast in the main house was OK, nothing special but a lot of it. There was no attempt on the part of the staff to interface with the guests as we have experienced at other B and B's. The Inn has on site free parking and is near the Porter Square T stop. All in all, this was just a place to rest your head. Wi Fi was good as was the Inn front door electronic security system.
