Great location, (MTA across the street) very comfortable bed, clean, spacious room, helpful, courteous staff, accommodating to our needs. My only suggestion would be to have a better coffee selection and real 1/2 1/2 (not coffee mate)and provide body lotion. We were very happy with our stay, would definitely stay again and would highly recommend to friends and family.

Very accommodating staff when we changed our room for a quieter one after the first night. If you’re a light sleeper, ask for a room to the side or rear of the hotel. It’s a clean, unobtrusive, hotel in a perfect location for public transportation or walking to the next door Cafe Nero for your morning breakfast. There are many restaurant choices in the area,

Super location, opposite Porter station which I hadn’t realised on booking, it was perfect for travelling to all Boston must see areas. Being from outside the US we found the Boston subway system very user friendly. We would recommend certainly for the location. Also priced well compared to other Boston hotels.
