Easy to check-in. Our room was not available so we went to grab lunch and explore Harvard square. One stop using the subway, very easy, fast and cheap. They gave us a call when our room was ready. The next day our flight wasn't until 6pm so they held our bags until we were ready to leave. We would definitely stay here again.

I forgot some items in the room when I checked out. I returned to Canada and I was called by the hotel to let me know they had found the items and made arrangements to ship them to me. One item is quite expensive. Great customer care and service.

I wish we could have stayed here longer, but we just needed a hotel close to the T for a night. It's a great building right in Porter Square. The staff is really friendly and check-in was a breeze. We go through Boston regularly and will definitely check out Porter Square Hotel next time we need a room.

We really enjoyed our our stay at the Porter Square Hotel. The suite we stayed in was spacious and comfortable, and the staff was very friendly. While there is no gym at the hotel, they offer access to the gym at a hotel just down the street. Access to the red line made public transportation a piece of cake. Great stay, would absolutely return!
