Only issue for us was our room didn’t have a working bathroom fan so after showers our room was pretty humid. We did have a window air conditioning unit so we just turned that on to cool off the room.

Gingko House was the perfect place to stay for 4 nights. Close to transportation and easy to get into the city and to Harvard square. The hotel was spotless and the staff kind and accommodating and went above and beyond to keep us comfortable. It was a very hot week while we were there and Nancy would offer to switch on the ac in the room before we got back so it would be cool when we arrived. The beds were comfortable and the shared amenities were just what we needed. Would highly recommend and hope to be back in the future.
