Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We were here for one night on a very short visit to Boston. The Irving house was perfect. Located very close to all amenities and nice walking sidewalks. Breakfast was rather elegant in a quaint area of the house. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Our room was much bigger than it looked in the pictures. The beds were comfortable.

Liked: Cleanliness
It was basic, with a super location by Harvard. My room was very snug, and the lack of AC or a fan made for some discomfort, even in mid June.
