Air conditioning was working alright, sometimes it would hiss at night and would wake me up. My room was cleaned up nicely. The guest bathroom at the hotel was very small and within the basement so I recommend using the bathroom in your room before checking out. The staff was all very kind and friendly which made my stay great. I would stay here again. Although the room is small, it’s perfect when you want to roam the city and only stay in a hotel room to sleep.

Nice and simple room. Nothing special, it has all you need. Was close to the airport which was convenient. I just needed to stay a night in Boston and found this to be the best affordable option. Reasonable pricing and front of house is kind although upon check out, I had to wait for a moment as there was no-one there. But overall I am satisfied with my stay and will definitely consider staying there again in the future if I ever come to Boston again and need a place to stay. The body wash pump did not work which is one thing I noticed but I had my own so I used that. Aside from that, no complaints. Thank you so much

The stay was pretty solid! Really helpful staff upon check-in and check-out, nice room, small but clean and really well set up for the space. My only concern is the noise level for anyone who's a light and sensitive sleeper. It's not the hotel's fault, but you'll want to have a white noise machine and/or ear plugs and/or heavier sleep meds if you wake easily. Super close to CVS for toiletries, 7-11 for snacks, restaurants for sustenance, and any other needs.

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 :)
