I stayed at Lotus Place in Sept 2012. On the positive side, I was grateful to get a last minute reservation and the person who took my call was friendly and helpful. It was for a weekday night and I guess I was the only one there. There is no sign on the house - a legal B&B? The bedroom was basic but fine. Clean, reasonably roomy for 1-2 people and just what I needed for a 1 night stayover. A little noisy. A positive - I had my own entrance at the side of the house. On the other hand, breakfast was dismal and do it yourself. Had to sit at the kitchen counter - no table or anything. And I mean do it yourself literally. No coffee was made, I was supposed to do it. Breakfast was all packaged: cold cereal or instant oatmeal, packaged pastry, etc. And it wasn't laid out or served. I was just directed to the fridge (or kitchen cabinet for dishes and silverware). I won't go on... and I won't go back ... and don't recommend it. I would have been better off staying at a more conveniently located hotel for 25% more.

My husband and I had a great experience staying at the Lotus Place. We had originally reserved a room on the 2nd floor, but my husband's leg was bothering him (we are an old couple!) and the very nice host quickly offered to move us and all our luggage to a more convenient room on the first floor even after we already settled in. The rooms were wonderful, very nicely furnished and clean and well equipped with all the amenities we needed. We will definitely be back to Lotus place next time we are back in Cambridge. Thank you!!

Usually a hotel stayer, I am very glad I gave bed and breakfasts a shot. Lotus Place is clean, comfortable in a very convenient location (walkable to Central and Harvard Squares) and with a price that is definately much cheaper than I expected. Dining was continental but they did have a wide selection of breakfast goodies. Will definately come back here again when I am in the Cambridge area.

Came to Cambridge/Boston area to visit some colleges and had the pleasure of staying at this inn. My room was very comfortable and furnished with a nice flat screen TV, free internet access and I even had the luxury of having my own bathroom. The host was very polite and nice, helped with my luggage and answered all my questions I had about the area patiently and informatively. Breakfast was pretty standard, continental style but still a wide range of selections. Amazing value for the price, would most definitely consider coming back if I decide to visit the Cambridge/Boston area again.

My wife and I spent a Friday & Saturday here. Newly ronovated, clean and convenient to the T. Well stocked fridge and ample kitchen and living area. Help yourself. Would highly recommend for a less expensive alternative in a fairly pricy B&B area. Private parking also a plus.

September 16, 2008
I booked a room for the weekend during our trip down to see our daughter at MIT. Needless to say, we were very pleased with our room. The room was spotless and beds very comfortable. Our bedroom and bathroom has a very nice and lovely modern decour to it. The location was also a godsend. The red line was only a few minutes walk away and MIT a couple stops down. No complaints so far!
3.8 out of 5Great Price and Free Parking!
August 06, 2008
Lotus Inn is a great place to stay for the budget conscious. We were bumped to the two bedroom suite on the 3rd floor (although we're not sure why) and didn't have to pay anything extra. Parking is free and safe behind building. Room was relatively clean, although there was old coffee in the coffee maker and the microwave was quite dirty. Only other complaints are lack of towels and poor seating to watch tv in the 3rd floor living room. Also, there is no dining area and the noise from the street is bad at night. It has been recently renovated and it shows as the rooms are quite nice for what you are paying. The people are very nice and we felt as though we had alot of privacy. Very convenient subway access too!
