Irving House At Harvard

Irving House At Harvard

10/10 Excellent
"I really recommend this place -- it's extremely cozy, with a homey, welcoming feel. Someone is at the front desk 24/7 ready to help you, and they even offer homemade cookies! (Doubletree, we need you no longer...) The only thing I'd warn someone against is the lack of elevator: if you are traveling with heavy luggage or have difficulty lifting things, bad knees, etc., this might not be the right place for you. I am pretty athletic and didn't have a big suitcase, but I still struggled somewhat getting to my room on the fourth floor. "
