    HVAC system was strange - vent on ceiling. Cold air blew on your head. Heat didn't heat up much since heat rises. Room service was terrible - had to request every day and be Extremely specific. And, even then wasn't completed or done very well,

    Bed & bedding comfortable. Location was convenient, Room was nice.

    Unfortunately the room only had a window looking to the inside of the building. The blinds were all broken and tangled so we could not open them at all. This made the room quite dark. Also the attached bar only did breakfast at the weekends. We visited Monday and Tuesday.

    The location was excellent. The room was comfortable and so was the bed. The bathroom was well laid out and the shower excellent - plenty of room and the water temperature was easily controllable.

    The only thing we did not like was that our room was an atrium view but it was an enclosed roof space, so the room was pretty dark since the lighting is not that bright. You have to park a few blocks away, so you have to drag your luggage through the streets, and we parked at 11am and did not check out until noon so we were charged for 2 days. We were going to dispute it, but we had to catch our flight.

    Perfect location if you want to be by the pier and use the hop on hop off trolley since stop 1 is literally across the street. Staff was very friendly and helpful! Our check in was not until 3 but we arrived at 11am. I went in to ask to use the restroom and they said our room was ready if we wanted to check in early so that was unexpected and awesome!

    Breakfast service let the hotel down. Our table was not laid for us, we needed to keep asking for cutlery, water (which never arrived) and the choice of food was very limited - no croissants just muffins. The level of customer service in the restaurant did not match that of the staff on Reception who were excellent

    View was a blank wall and given the warren of rooms, felt a little claustrophobic and concerned about evacuation in emergency. Next time, I would ask for a view room.

    Ideal location in the heart of Boston.

    The room was on the smaller side, with a window giving on an inside court which was very dark, despite the amazing day outside. Also, the light bulbs in the room were giving the sense that it was super late in the night when I had to come do some work in the room, while it was the middle of the afternoon and sunny outside.

    The location is prime downtown Boston, close to the Quincy Market on the Freedom Trail. Lots of food options and touristic attractions around.

    Paid for window view but it only showed the hallway, no actual view. Website stated free tea & coffee & microwave, there isn't as there's now an overpriced restaurant. Toilet took forever to flush and noise sounded like a train siren. Boxed bedframe with metal on corners, we banged our legs on that many times and the mattress didn't fit.

    Great location, rooms were large, lovely & clean.

    Noisy aircon

    Excellent location, perfect room (for us), great city The hotel is on the edge of the financial district and harbour area. This puts it in an excellent place for walking around the downtown area. The room was reasonably compact, but had everything else needed, even some things we didn’t need. The massive mirror gave a sense of space. It had a double shower, excellent for a couple on honeymoon! The elevator was quick and reliable. The staff on the front desk did more than just welcome, they provided excellent information about things to do for a short stay. A great place to stay for a couple of days.

    Location-wise, it doesn't get better than this. Very convenient to just walk around all the main attractions of seaside Boston and the financial district. Bedroom was quiet, which is very important to us, and very well maintained. Staff was lovely and offered us the possibility to store our luggage after checkout so we could hop around with no weight on our backs. Breakfast at the main-floor restaurant, Joia, was also satisfying :) Good parking recommendations too - driving in Boston is an utter nightmare.

    An espresso machine would make me happier. Prices are really high

    Fantastic location, close to everything: 2 minutes walking to the Quincy Market, 5 min to aquarium, 5 min to city hall, 15 to Public Garden and common Garden, where is the beginning of the freedom trail, shops, cafes, restaurantes, harbor and museums nearby. The subway station is just in the door of the hotel. If you decide to go by train from the airport to the hotel, is a traveling of 2 stations. It was very convenient for me. The rooms are large, with iron, ironing board, safe box, refrigerator. Large restroom as well, with amenities, tissues and good towels. Supportive and nice people attending in the front door. Free water at the front desk. Be aware the housekeeping service should be schedule every desired day.
