The stay was pretty solid! Really helpful staff upon check-in and check-out, nice room, small but clean and really well set up for the space. My only concern is the noise level for anyone who's a light and sensitive sleeper. It's not the hotel's fault, but you'll want to have a white noise machine and/or ear plugs and/or heavier sleep meds if you wake easily. Super close to CVS for toiletries, 7-11 for snacks, restaurants for sustenance, and any other needs.

Staff were super friendly and helpful. Housekeeping lady was a pure gem! Fantastic location making my visit to Boston so easy to navigate. Would have liked a mini fridge in the room as it was a long stay, but in winter time it really wasn’t a big issue. Would 100% stay here again :)

Room was clean, however bed was advertised as a queen it was a full and very low to ground. In morning hot water was not consistent which lead to a cold very quick shower.
