Liked: Amenities
We have stayed at Porter Square many times. Prices are generally reasonable for the area. Most rooms are small, some pretty tight, though appointed well with the basics. Don’t expect closets or dressers. Yes to modest desk space, wifi and tv. Clean and well-maintained. Modern and efficient. Cordial and helpful staff

It was an amazingly clean, quiet, and spacious room to rest my tired body in the semi-hard yet comfortable bed mattress with clean comforting pillows. I definitely recommend to everyone!

Highly recommended hotel
Excellent location and comfortable room make this a highly recommended hotel during my first visit to Cambridge. Decided to base here instead of Boston where hotel prices are quite exorbitant. Would be great if there was a hairdryer in the room but everything else is well taken care of. Would stay here again should I revisit this charming town.

Perfect Short Cambridge Stay
It was perfect for a short stay for 2 people. The room came with 2 small bathrooms, each with a shower. This was wonderful. The living room was a decent size and had a desk, which was great for working. Bedroom was on the small side, but the 2 bathrooms made up for that.

One to return to
Porter hotel provides good, basic accommodation with a few very important extras like a very good coffee machine, limitless bottled water, boiling water and ice. There is 24 hour reception manned by pleasant helpful staff.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Location was wonderful, the room was impeccable, and the staff were very helpful. I frequented the business center with wifi, restrooms, comfortable couches, and water, tea, and coffee. I had a ginger beer at the restaurant next to the entrance. Outside, the T station, Porter Square shops and Restaurants were right across the street. This is a choice in hotels that I would make again.

Beautiful little hotel, great room, comfy bed and the best pillows. Everything was spotless and the hotel staff were so hopeful. Valet parking quick and painless and only $28 a night, a steal for Boston. Nice little lounge and coffee area too.

Convenient Location
Convenient location in Cambridge. Walking distance to restaurants and shops. Close to mass transit. My complaint with this hotel was that the room looked nice but wasn't very comfortable or easy to use. The room was very small and the bathroom fixtures weren't very functional.

Show in Boston
Nice hotel, very close (1 minute walk) to the T and shopping area. Great new restaurant inside with a very good breakfast. Nice Thai restaurant across the street. It was a very good experience and excellent alternative to downtown Boston when hotels are $500+ per night
