Definitely smaller rooms than most hotels, but that was perfect for us. RIGHT across the street from Porter station, excellent valet service. 1868 is perfect for a quick night away!

This place is very cozy and clean. The renovation is pretty new. It is close to Harvard campus, you can walk or take the subway to your destination. The room is relatively small but is big enough for two ppl. The price is very reasonable compare to other hotels near the area.
