The room was a little smaller than I would have guessed but we made it work. Parking was a little tough, but it was fine other than that. The hotel is walkable to a lot of locations and the overall feel of the hotel is excellent.

Hands down one of the worst service oriented hotels I've ever stayed in. We checked in after walking Boston for 8 hours on an 89 degree day. All we wanted was to take a shower, being hot and sweaty before dinner. Water did not come out of shower. We requested help, no one came. We had dinner plans with friends so we went gross. Came back and it still wasn't fixed. Requested another service to fix. No one came. Went to bed sweaty and gross. In the morning we requested again. Was told a plumber was needed. No one came. Requested another room. A whole other problem with no service, no clean towels. Finally got them around 11 pm. Horrible horrible service. For the $500 we paid for 2 night's for a wicked small room, we expected far more. We've had better service and room in a La Quinta Inn. I'll never stay here again, nor recommend others to.

Noise was an issue. You can hear the next unit over, clearing their throat in a gross way. Yeah, had to put up with that! It had rained, so there was this torture drip at the window. Then the typical rude people talking loudly in the hall after 11:00 pm. Bring sound deadening ear equipment!
