Very quiet room (in back), soft linens, friendly staff, wonderful breakfast. I would stay here again. I felt safe here as a solo traveler. It is not super-close to the T, so recommended for folks who are driving or have no trouble walking. The neighborhood is very walkable and pleasant, with businesses nearby for anything you might need.
