Irving House at Harvard

facility is clean and well kept. Staff are friendly. Checking in and out are seamless

Breakfast can be monotonous

We were a little surprised when we arrived--a little room 15-20 feet from the reception desk with an old door, creaking floor, a row of books (which we moved to have more desk space), and a pretty old TV in a kind-of old house. The receptionist was a very friendly lady, and there was a small table near the front door with coffee and baked cookies. We quickly began to feel like we were staying in Granny's House! It didn't take long to adjust. The breakfasts were nice with enough local twist to be pleasant, and enough variety to enjoy more than one day. The staff--as you might expect in granny's house--was helpful and informal. When opening a window, a part of the spring-loaded guide on the side, and the receptionist was soon calling around and asking whatever staff wandered by if they had seen XXXXX. Soon located, he popped in and fixed things up, replacing the other side at the same time while chatting with us. I'm not sure who "granny" is, but we will certainly visit Granny's House on Irving Street again.

Everything was wonderful! If I was working into the night, a better working space would be nice, but there was a living room 10 feet away with chairs, a sofa, more books top read, and I think some table/desk area. They have already thought about what they could provide!!

Great location, clean room and friendly staff

Nothing

Breakfast included was a great option - not fancy, but comprehensive fare.

The mattress on my bed (room 313) needs replacement. It felt like sleeping in a hammock - completely bowed in the middle/Center, so I had a quite uncomfortable night.
