Staff were super friendly and helpful. Housekeeping lady was a pure gem! Fantastic location making my visit to Boston so easy to navigate. Would have liked a mini fridge in the room as it was a long stay, but in winter time it really wasn’t a big issue. Would 100% stay here again :)

Clean, friendly staff, good coffee at the press of a button. Our room looked down a dark alley. That was fine, but a little transparency about whether we had a street view, or no view, would have been nice.

Staff asked for a second incidental card rather than allowing me to go make a deposit and use the card twice Or even cancel charge and try again. Very unsecure. Upon leaving after elevated voices, i could not locate my Bank of America debit card
