    The continental breakfast was a cut (or two) above the usual, with delicious freshly baked muffins and light pastries among the high-quality items available each morning. Though there is some street noise from Memorial Drive, it seemed to die way...

    Comfortable spacious rooms. Located in a quiet(er) hipster neighborhood and across the street from the river and its pedestrian walkway. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
