I loved the whole hotel the impressive view amazing everything
Comfy room, clean and modern with friendly staff. Booked in advance, was quoted $186 tax included. But, at check-in I was notified that it cost $25 per day, per parking spot and a $75 fee that would be returned (5 to 7 days) after checkout. Plus they wanted $20 per person for breakfast. Total: $326 for 2 people for one night. Nice place, but won't spend that to stay there again.

It's in a good location for Cambridge, and even not far from Boston amenities. It is NOT right near Harvard campus, though, if that's what you're looking for ... but not far.
The facility is fine - an inn, not a hotel, but with room amenities of a hotel.

If you walk to Harvard, you can enjoy watching red leaves on the way.
As Harvard square is a walking distance, shopping, sightseeing and joining conference are very convenient. You can enjoy Continental and sophisticated atmosphere because the University of Harvard is very near.

Cambridge is much nicer than Boston, and the Harvard Campus is wonderful to walk around, with big trees and lots of open spaces. There are good restaurants too - we really enjoyed The Druid Irish pub. There is also a lot to see and do. Two days was too short to go to everything we wanted to visit.

Excellent hotel, comfortable rooms, with a beautiful view. The area is very safe and quiet, relatively close to the center and the airport. The indoor pool is very nice. There is a coffee shop on the first floor that sells Starbucks products. The rooms with very comfortable beds, excellent coffee as well as a spacious safe. Excellent hotel.

Isabell Gradner Museum is a random collection of things by a person with lots of money but no taste - skip it.
Unfortunately, some T (subway/tram) lines do not operate on weekends – otherwise, public trasnport is excelent for an American city.
Legal seafood is a must for seafood lovers and there are good cart dim-sum places in town.
Marc was an excellent host, super friendly, and always ready to help. There was a diverse sort of food and drinks available for breakfast and on top of that, Chef Marc cooked delicious food every day for his guests. The house has a very quiet environment and an excellent location at 15 mins walk from MIT. There are also close subway stations and blue bike docks to facilitate commuting to Boston or Harvard. Good value for money when compared to most of the hotels in Cambridge / Boston. Would stay again!
The hotel was very reasonably priced, and is excellent value for money. The receptionist was very helpful at check-in, and when I asked for a room away from the main road, he offered me an upgrade for an excellent price. The room was spotless, well-appointed and extremely comfortable. The same receptionist was on the next day, and he was super-helpful with local and transport information (as was his colleague). I highly recommend Porter Square Hotel.
I lived in NY. I came Boston with my son for his educational trip. I love Boston city, nice and clean. People are very polite, educated and helpful. I set up my mind tha my son will try to get admission at MIT or Harvard university. I stayed at Holliday inn hotel. I loved it, nice and properly clean. This hotel is inside the city. Restaurant, Park, university everything are near, not far. If I go again Boston I will stay this hotel.. Thank you ❤️
The outdoor patio was amazing. It was very modern with a beautiful garden and a small fire pit. It was fun to eat outside during breakfast and to have a drink with my husband in the patio after an all day excursion to Boston and Cambridge. I have been to a lot of hotels but I have never seen an outside patio as nice as Freepoints. Very nice staff and nice rooms added to a nice stay.
The breakfast was amazing! Better then my wife and I planned. The gentleman who was at the desk on June 17th in the afternoon, helped us with our taxi and told us the best ways to get around town! He gets an A! The people who made breakfast were helpful and very nice! My wife and I really had a great time for our first time. Our next trip to Fenway we plan on going to this same hotel!
Excellent location near many great restaurants and pubs and the train. It looks newly renovated so is super clean and very comfortable. Valet parking is a little expensive but we found a cheap ‘spot hero’ parking space nearby. There are also parking meters outside the hotel that were easy to find - at least when we stayed (mid-August) where you can park for free from 8pm until 8am.
Breakfast was good, with waffles, scrambled eggs and some fresh fruit (but nothing fancy). The location is convenient to both Cambridge (MIT, Harvard square) and Boston. A few blue bikes stations nearby and plenty of cafes around. The room was clean and everything seems to be new/refreshed. Garage is very conveniently located real close (but not in the same building).
A charming, little hotel in a Victorian house. It’s very quiet and close to Harvard square. The rooms were clean and the bed was comfortable. Friendly staff, especially the lady. No breakfast, but there was tea and coffee, and a kitchen in the basement for making your own meal. Would absolutely come back. Good value.
Very friendly staff at reception upon arrival. Good advice regarding where to eat (Mikes in Davis Sq - 15 min walk from hotel). Clean room - exceptionally comfy bed and pillows. Whilst we were there there was a problem on the tube into Boston. The reception ordered a taxi for us which was there within 10 mins.
Good breakfast for a 3star hotel. Very good location - at heart of MIT if this is what one is looking for. Parking very convenient - just behind the hotel with in/out privileges for not cheap but also not a huge amount. Good size room. Starbucks in the same building as the hotel with hotel access door.
Everything! The room was nice and clean, well equipped and the bed was very comfortable. The location is also good, it’s close to the metro stop and near by there are many restaurants and supermarkets. Iris is a great host, I will totally come back here if I pass by Boston/Cambridge again.
The hotel was good, it had parking (although kind of tight), the location was good, the staff was friendly, the value was good and in general it will be my to go place in Cambridge. There are plenty of restaurants nearby and the breakfast was pretty good. Will be back.
I was in Boston for the marathon, this hotel was well situated for the red line to get down to the marathon area.
Also plenty of places nearby to eat out and get snacks etc.
Would happily stay here again.
The hotel is located very well if you have business in Cambridge. It's clean, room bed and bath a great, however my room had a little special odor when I came in.
