I loved this hotel! It was in the perfect location, safe area and the room was small but had everything one could ask for. I loved the unique design of the hotel and the woman at the front desk even allowed us to check in a couple hours early for no charge! Excellent service and I would definitely stay here on my next trip back to Boston!
