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 :)

Front office staff was so kind, helpful, and professional. The room itself did have hair in shower and men’s facial hair shavings on shelf under mirror. Bed and room itself was clean.

Room was clean, however bed was advertised as a queen it was a full and very low to ground. In morning hot water was not consistent which lead to a cold very quick shower.

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.
