I was in town to meet up with a friend. The hotel was in a perfect location for me and the room was clean and had everything I needed. The parking was helpful and the valet was friendly and fast. The attendants at the desk were helpful with directions and local information. I will likely stay here again.

Luckily we were most of the day time exploring Boston and the surrounding areas. The space in the room was in our view a bit squeeze. Not much place to put our stuff in to… Location itself is good and close to public transport or a few places to eat. Unfortunately the windows are not to open so the air in the room could get…
small space to get around in the room
