average stay with some disappointments

poor sound insulation missing refrigerator
the location was acceptable , providing easy access to nearby attractions.
my room lacked sound insulation , and i could hear street noise throughout the night. the curtains did not fully block out light , so streetlights shone into the room. i was also disappointed that there was no refrigerator.

amazing stay!

daily snacks downtown area
the staff greeted me with HUGE smiles. i really appreciated the daily snacks and the hot cocoa available in the lobby each evening. the location made it easy to walk to many interesting places in the downtown area. i will definitely stay here again!
During check-in, i received the option of a city-facing room or a 'quiet interior view'. It faced a wall maybe eight feet from our windows, with only a narrow sliver of natural light coming in. I wish i had been given a city-facing room.

Fantastic Stay!!!

helpful staff convenient location polite barman
I found the staff helpful and friendly. They promptly moved me to a room that better suited my needs. The location is downtown, close to big stores and Boston Common. The barman was also super friendly and polite.
The lobby and bar areas are quite simple. The pictures look better.
