Porter Square Hotel

Porter Square Hotel ranks 6th in the list of the best cheap hotels in Boston. This chic, 65-room boutique hotel is a wonderful recent addition to the area's rather sparse selection of lodging options for those looking for accommodations in Cambridge. The modern, chic, and light-filled rooms are accessible from the lobby's marble-heavy, sleek design. Porter Square is the underdog among the more well-known squares in Cambridge and Somerville (Harvard, Davis), but the eclectic neighborhood offers a wide variety of dining options, including some of the most renowned restaurants in the city (Shepard and Giulia are two musts).

The hotel's upcoming steakhouse, Porter Square Grill, will pay homage to the cattle yards that once bordered the square more than a century ago. Keep an eye out for it. The famed Boston Common and the beginning of the Freedom Trail are only a quick 20-minute train ride away from us. The Museum of Fine Arts and the Institute of Contemporary Art are both within a 5-mile drive of the hotel for those with an interest in the arts.

Their 65 guest rooms feature comfortable bathrobes, slippers, complimentary Wi-Fi, 48-inch flat-screen Smart TVs, and all the other conveniences one would expect while traveling. For your long-term or business stay needs, the suites have a separate living area with a 48-inch flat-screen Smart TV, plush couches or chairs, a desk, and a closet. Socialize, network, or grab a bite at their restaurant and bar on Massachusetts Avenue. Those looking to indulge in even more relaxation can do so in their lovely courtyard.
