More information on Harvard Square Hotel Cambridge
The Harvard economics department could use this hotel as an illustration of the law of supply and demand: At busy times, including pretty much every night in the fall, rates seem high for such modest accommodations (supply) -- but you can't beat the location (demand). Smack in the middle of "the Square," the six-story brick hotel is a favorite with visiting parents and budget-conscious business travelers. The lobby and the unpretentious guest rooms were renovated in 2006 and 2007. The rooms are relatively small but comfortable and neatly decorated in contemporary style; each has a flat-screen TV, and some overlook Harvard Square. The front desk handles faxing and copying. Facilities: Dining privileges at the Harvard Faculty Club; free access to nearby health club; car-rental desk; laundry service; dry cleaning; rooms for those w/limited mobility Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
