Incredibly handy location for a Boston visit and a great deal for the price. This is a very old hotel with small rooms that have been updated pretty thoroughly. Nice bathroom. Small but well-thought out. The updates are all well thought out and I would stay here again for this location and price. I just wish the owners would update the interior of the elevator. It’s not old and cool. It’s just old.

This is a fun, minimalist hotel with friendly and helpful staff. More suited for a budget traveler and it is perfect! Highly suggest asking for a corner room and specify street view, not alley. Rooms are well designed for their small space. Thin walls but a quiet hotel. We loved it!

Liked: Cleanliness

We had a nice stay in terms of it being a convenient clean place to lay our heads. However the room was quite small and the price was high for it being just a place to sleep. They also offered no amenities at the time specifically not being able to provide water was annoying. The staff however was very polite and apologetic as the hotel was going through some changes. Parking was close by and cheaper than other hotels which was another reason we ended up here so at least that delivered. Overall it was an okay stay at a dated hotel. Bring your own water!😅
