Very easy, very clean, super quiet given the amount of rooms. Incredibly affordable especially since you couldn’t ask to be in a better part of town. All in all a great option, I will definitely stay here again on any future trip to the area.

If you don't want an iron or a fridge in your room or ice on your floor or a bathroom with privacy, and you like catchy phrases, this is your hotel. "Iron Heaven," the small, unventilated room on the floor with the one (weird) iron, was beyond awful. If you want a room to sleep in, and want nothing more out of your hotel, this is your place.

Very good location. Accessible subway stations and walkable to Fenway Park. The room itself was very clean however the shower would not get hot, the tv and control for the room both did not work, and when I tried to reach the front desk they did not answer the phone.
