Great place to stay in Boston

This was a great location to stay in Boston. It was convenient to the train station and you could walk to all the sites in the city. Good breakfast and very reasonable.

Loved it

I got the room for a reduced rate as part of a summer special & for that it was very good value. Everything is very upscale & in a contemporary design, the bathroom and main room were nice and clean. The room might be a bit small if you want to do anything but sleep & watch TV and/or stay there with 2 people, but that wasn't a problem for me. The walk to downtown is around 20 mins and for the most part takes you along cute brick houses and beautifully restored official buildings. Probably not for people who don't like to or cannot walk a whole lot. Again I loved it & plan on returning soon.

Nice Hotel But...

This was a nice hotel however the surrounding neighborhood for the first few blocks around the hotel were very shady, a lot of homeless people begging for money which was unexpected. Also, the internet wouldn't work. They don't have Wi-Fi, you have to plug in an ethernet cable to your computer and it didn't work. Reported this problem to the staff and the response was to "just keep trying." Never gained internet access. The room was nice though. Very clean and comfortable. Temperature was easily controlled. Although, we did notice a strange noise at night that sounded like a rhythmic clunking noise that was disruptive when trying to get to sleep. The staff was wonderful, friendly and accommodating.

great location

Just a few blocks north of Quincy Market, close to the T - this hotel had a great location yet was still very quiet. The bed was fantastic!

Great location, good hotel

Although the room was very small and the absence of a dresser disconcerting, the location could not have been better. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and the room clean. Overall, a great buy!

Comfortable Hotel

Hotel was very comfortable however I was a little put off that they put $150 hold on my debit card. I was told it would be a $30 dollar hold but was in fact much more than that. Other than that, great stay.

Okay stay

Needed a hotel near TDBanknorth and this fit the bill. The room was very small though; we have stayed here in the past and had a more spacious room so depending on the section of building it might be a tight fit. Bathroom door wouldn't close all the way, not an issue for us though. Was a bit expensive for one night but the walking distance to the Garden made up for it.

Like staying in a nice hostel

While a good-looking hotel in a decent location, this place really is for kids on a budget who don't care about service (there is none) or ambience. The desk staff is sullen and unhelpful, too busy with personal phone calls to pause and answer questions or reply to a request for extra pillows. There is one designated room size for online-booking guests--tiny. No place to put luggage, barely room to step inside before tripping on the bed. It worked for the price, but if you can afford slightly better, go for it.
