Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was conveniently located near the Green T Line for easy commuting, with a large pond across the street. The rooms were clean and spacious, offering a comfy bed. The service was friendly and even included management offering discounts for future stays. However, the area could get loud due to trolley, traffic, and sirens, and it seemed a bit sketchy at night. The dining had self-service options but was not included in the room rate.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were top-notch with great amenities, but cleanliness could have been better. However, the service was professional and caring, making up for any room issues. The location was a bit isolated for my liking, yet convenient for visiting certain areas. The dining was somewhat limited but included options for guests. Overall, a stay with its ups and downs.
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were spacious and well equipped with two comfortable double beds, a large TV, a microwave, a fridge freezer, and even a proper coffee machine, which was a nice touch. However, the lack of a printed channel guide was a bit inconvenient, and the noise from the busy streets nearby could be bothersome at times. Parking at the hotel was convenient.
I found the hotel to be a convenient place to stay in Boston, close to Fenway and some great restaurants. The rooms weren’t spotless upon arrival, with long hair in the bathroom, but overall, they were comfortable. The service by Dana was excellent and very friendly, which was a pleasant surprise given the city setting. The location was perfect for exploring downtown Boston, with easy access to tram services and nearby attractions. However, the proximity to the VA Hospital meant occasional disturbances from ambulance sirens. The dining options were available for guests, but I didn’t try them personally. In terms of facilities, the hotel has everything necessary for a comfortable stay.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were large and clean, offering plenty of space, but unfortunately faced a loud construction site that started early in the morning. The service was very friendly and accommodating, and the location, while convenient for commuting, seemed a bit sketchy at night. The dining options were satisfactory, and the facilities were decent.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with clean, comfortable rooms and very friendly staff. However, the morning construction noise was a bit disruptive. The location was convenient with easy access to transportation, but dining options nearby were limited.
