I think for the price this hotel delivers. We actually like the outdoor sitting to have our morning coffee. It's an older hotel but it does the job if you're visiting. About 20 minutes by train to tourist attraction and the station is basically right outside the hotel.

Disliked: Amenities
Great location. Close to the “T”. Good breakfast. Comfortable beds. House keeping poor. Night receptionist extremely rude. Room was dusty with cobwebs on the lamps. The toilet was placed crooked! The grout in the shower was moldy. The microwave gave out after 1 day. The TV had so many issues. The garbage was never removed despite 2 requests. The towels were not replaced until I went to the font desk and was walked over to the linen closet. Sorry, I am just giving an honest review.

So I booked for two days due to the necessity for work and my Internet going out. However, great the front desk staff was in accommodating me an early check-in. I did let them know the situation and they put me in a room with absolutely no outlets to utilize the laptop or my medical job that was needed. I ended up only staying four hours.

Breakfast was descent. It’s an older hotel, room has an odor, and older facilities. Customer service was good no complaints. If you are visiting downtown, you are better off getting a hotel closer. We had to uber to most common areas. Hotel at least 17 min drive from stadium and downtown and about 25 min from airport.

The hotel is convenient to the T which makes getting downtown and to Fenway easy. It’s an older hotel and could use some updating.
