Nice hotel across the road from HBS
Pros:

Fabulous location if you want a hotel close to HBS. Spacious rooms, with good amenities

Cons:

Limited storage space in the room for those who would want to stay for more than a few days. Would have loved if they had sleepers in the room

Moderne, inspirerende og fantastisk beliggenhet nær Harvard.
