Maryann United States of America

Great location. Clean rooms. Comfortable beds. Free drinking water in room and snacks at check-in.

Claire United States of America

the location is beautiful, about a 5 min walk to fenway, with shops around and walking distance anywhere u need to really go !

Aria United States of America

It is close to BU and we were dropping of our son to start school. The room was spacious, comfortable, clean and quiet! Most of the front desk staff were friendly and helpful. The location is close to Fenway and lots of restaurants.

Irene United States of America

Loved the location! All the staff and personnel were exceptional, and the cleanliness and desire to satisfy, was beyond my expectation.

Cari Austria

I have stayed 3 times in past 9 months and each time, there have been more guests. Customer service from the time you walk in from commonwealth until you leave is top rated and has remained consistent, if not better each visit. The staff is Very personable. The rooms are spacious and well appointed, bathrooms are bright, beds are comfy, the rooms are quiet ( commonwealth side, i don't know about fenway side)

Myken2 United States of America

Room was spacious and comfortable. The restaurants were closed and under construction so the noise of the work was annoying. The absence of a good place to eat breakfast was not ideal when traveling w/ an 83 yo.

Anna United States of America

Close to Fenway Park, many restaurants, Charles River, easy access to train to go downtown.

Barry United States of America

Right next door to the T (subway) which allows you to get all over Boston easily and quickly at a reasonable price.

Andrew United States of America

Just great all around. Clean, comfortable, great amenities, great location to Fenway and subway. Friendly staff. Loved it!!
