Very well situated between Central and Harvard squares. (It's in Putnam Square, i.e. the junction of Mass. Ave., Mt. Auburn, and Putnam.) You are basically staying in a B&B without the breakfast part. The room had all the things you'd expect in a hotel room (private bath with shower, iron, etc.). The sound insulation between rooms wasn't perfect, but it was fine and the other guests were not noisy at night. Check-in was uneventful (there is a front-door combo lock so you can arrive at any hour after 2 p.m.). No complaints and was very reasonably priced.
