Ginkgo is a small hotel near Central Square primarily serving the community connected to Harvard and MIT. The property feels like a small inn or private home and is located in a residential area. My room (#15) was on the ground floor off the lobby, with a comfortable king size bed, chair and desk, and bathroom. Clean, comfortable and quiet were the major characteristics. The hotel manager is a very sweet Chinese-American woman who personally engages with all the guests. Enjoyed my stay and would return.

Beautiful Victorian home, very clean and Nancy was lovely. 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. Would absolutely stay there again.
