There are two main places to stay in Harvard Square: The Charles (near the Kennedy School and the river) and the Inn at Harvard (near the Yard and in the middle of the Square). Both are superb. The folks at the Inn at Harvard were especially friendly, however, and courteous, and consistently went out of their way to be helpful.
Do not confuse the Inn at Harvard with the Harvard Inn, across the street from the Charles. Although both are owned by the same entity, the Inn at Harvard is the far better facility. It is more expensive (as is The Charles), but you get what you pay for.
All three facilities are hard to get into when there is a major Harvard event, such as graduation. So, if you are planning to go to a major Harvard event, make your reservations as far in advance as they will let you.
