location was good, on site restaurant was very good, room was good.

Love the bathroom the Bluetooth mirror was the best feature in the bathroom.

The staff was friendly and patient. The room was very clean. They were able to accommodate me and get me a room even though I came a few hours before check in.

cleanliness, friendly staff, and great location to the marathon

I loved the history of the building paired with the tasteful updates and decorations and furnishings.

people were friendly!! the bed is the best part!!! the bed was more comfortable then my own bed 😂

Fantastic location, this remodeled hotel makes the best use of every square foot in small rooms that don't feel too cramped.

Very comfortable bed, smart tv, the Bluetooth speaker mirror, outlets everywhere. The feather pillows were very comfortable.

Hotel and rooms are very clean and aesthetically pleasing. Looks like it was recently renovated and upgraded. The floor of my room is hard wood, which makes it more appealing (vs. carpet). The hotel gym has new and working equipment (treadmill, Peloton bike, stair master, and free weights). Space is a bit small but can fit 3-4 people comfortably. I was provided with bottled water when I checked in. Hotel is accessible by train from Roosevelt station (4 blocks from hotel).

All staff that we interacted with throughout the hotel were friendly and helpful. Location of hotel was perfect for touring the city. The room was exceptionally clean. Bedding was comfortable.
