While there’s no on-site restaurant, you’re surrounded by walkable dining options in Davis Square, from casual bites to craft cocktails. Late-night cravings? Several eateries nearby stay open into the night.

Nightlife Options

What People Say

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t a full-service hotel, so if you’re looking for 24/7 room service or a buzzing lobby scene, this might not be your style. The vibe is more relaxing retreat than party hub—but for many concert-goers, that’s a plus.
