This hotel is conveniently located just within a 30-minute walk from the main attractions of Boston. Everything is walkable, so you don’t need to worry about public transport. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with spacious bathrooms that have plenty of counter space for personal toiletries. Plus, there’s a Whole Foods grocery store right by the hotel, grab a freshly made breakfast items, a quick bite or snack when you’re heading out exploring or coming back hungry. The reception area always has a refreshing cold water dispenser with fresh fruit, perfect for rehydrating after a day of walking. And don’t forget the complimentary coffee in the morning! The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Just for maintenance please check the toilet seat they're wobbly.

Disliked: Amenities
Room was clean and quiet (ask for room facing Whole Foods rather than highway). Very convenient location. They have a high mandatory fee (daily) per room to be used as credit for one person @ breakfast, or for overpriced snacks at snack store. The breakfast is not good and there’s a Tatte very close by that is much better.

The room was very clean. Sharing the room with friends was slightly difficult due to the sliding bathroom door. This was something we were not a fan of but other than that a wonderful stay. The gentleman at the front desk was very nice and welcoming he had a bit of an accent and I can’t remember his name (French maybe)

We stayed for five nights and overall had an enjoyable experience. The rooms were spacious, comfortable and very clean. The bed and bedding were very nice and the bathroom amenities excellent. We enjoyed breakfast one of the mornings as well as tried a couple of nearby options. The front desk staff were very helpful and friendly. My only recommendation would be to request a room on a higher floor and on the side facing Whole Foods rather than the freeway. We arrived late the first night and stayed in a corner room on the freeway side and it was noisy and difficult to get a good night’s sleep. However we requested a room on the other side and they were able to accommodate. We really appreciated that. The last few nights were perfect!
