    Poorly insulated walls allow you to hear lots of corridor noise, as well as outdoor traffic. Staff were generally a bit aloof, rather than especially proactive or welcoming.

    Clean and fresh property, very well kept up, with a free breakfast. When the Green Line is running, it’s right by the T station (tho often offline for construction). Comfortable beds and excellent value for money, given proximity to downtown Boston.

    Close to the T station, which was perfect for doing some sightseeing in Boston.

    My shower was not clean when I arrived. The recycling from the previous guest had not been emptied. Breakfast is a complete sh*t circus: self-service is a small, cramped room. Very difficult to navigate. Food wasn’t that good either.

    The property was incredibly close to the metro line which was very convenient. The staff I interacted with were all very nice and helpful.

    The room is a bit small and almost no space to put your bags. I would say a bit overpriced, but it seems all hotels have doubled their price after the pandemic.

    Great staff, friendly and available. Location is ok, very close to the metro green line. Breakfast is ok. Had the impression the neighborhood is safe with a shopping mall within walking distance.

    Parking a little tight, luckily we had a small car.

    The breakfast was amazing! Better then my wife and I planned. The gentleman who was at the desk on June 17th in the afternoon, helped us with our taxi and told us the best ways to get around town! He gets an A! The people who made breakfast were helpful and very nice! My wife and I really had a great time for our first time. Our next trip to Fenway we plan on going to this same hotel!

    Parking was $40 a night at the site. I think that’s understandable given the location.

    The room was beautiful and very clean, a bit on the small side but we didn’t mind. The bathroom was very clean and the furnishings looked new. The location was safe and very convenient. The complimentary breakfast was tasty and there was good variety.

    No one told us that we didn’t get housekeeping. I expected the bed made and towels replaced and garbage emptied. So that was disappointing. Parking was expensive!

    Rooms were clean and spacious. the lemon ice water in the lobby was a nice touch. Staff at breakfast were friendly. nice to see fresh fruit offered besides apples and bananas.

    My friend complained that her room smelled musty and the floor was wet, but she did not give the hotel the opportunity to correct this situation. She was on the second floor and had an issue with street noise. As with all hotels now, the housekeeping was spotty. We receive housekeeping services every other day, but they failed to refill the coffee pods, kleenex, etc. Parking cost $40.00 per day, but that it probably typical by Boston standards.

    This location is great for me because it is close to where my daughter lives. It's also close to Logan Airport. A lovely river walk is nearby. It is about a one mile walk to Boston Commons. The hotel is generally in good and updated condition. It served a good breakfast. The rooms were large. It is located on a very busy street, but I was on the 5th floor and did not hear the street noise. They offered housekeeping every other day, which was a pleasant surprise, given that hotels have not been offering housekeeping services since the pandemic. I think it's a pretty good value by Boston standards.
