Bed a bit uncomfortable but everything else about the property was great. Excellent value right next to Harvard!
Innkeeper Response
Thank you for your overall kind review. I would love to know which room you stayed in. In the week just before your visit we made a mattress order to replace about 1/4 of our beds. Perhaps your 'uncomfortable bed' was one of those! I hope so! We hope to see you again some time when your travels bring you back to Our Fair City.

I planned a research trip to Harvard's Schlesinger Library on pretty short notice, and was expecting either to pay a small fortune to stay within walking distance of the library, OR to stay farther away and spend a long time in transit. Irving House was a lovely and pleasant surprise! My room was small, and there aren't any typical hotel accoutrements (like a television or ironing board), but if you just need a place to sleep and refuel in the morning, and want to be within walking distance of everything Harvard Square/central Cambridge have to offer, Irving House is perfect!
