Nice new property. Small clean modern rooms. Best for one person traveling for a short period of time. The umbrella has a check in and out. I checked it in but the employee never noted it even after asking for my room number. If I didn’t catch it I would have been charged for a $20 umbrella that I gave back. The check in computers didn’t check in smoothly.

Very good location for a Red Sox game, close to Fenway and transportation and food options. Area is very safe, clean and well kept. The room was very small and the bed was pushed up against the wall making it hard to get in.

Very nice hotel but rooms are very small. Bathroom in the room provides almost no privacy from the rest of the room and is extremely small. The sink isn’t even in the bathroom. The bed is very comfortable but is only accessible from one side. This is definitely a hotel for the gen z crowd. If you don’t know how to work an iPad or have a smart phone you may be out of luck. Staff was very friendly and helpful. There is no parking on site so be prepared to pay 45$/night down the street.

Nothing in there, just a bed, bathroom and TV. NO coffee machine, or small microwave. So expensive for just a sleep place, but honestly its clean. Very clean. No parking or shuttle to the air port.

Great place. Just be prepared that there is no curb drop off or hotel parking, so figure out how you are going to park and get your suitcases there ahead of time. Very modern, good restaurant/coffee bar and large hangout lobby, 10 min walk to Finway area. Highly recommend.

Great location, the rooms are small and cute - everything you need for a place to lay your head and be out and about in the. day. Nice breakfasts and good working spaces in the lobby. Would revisit. Note for families seeking multiple bed rooms - each room design is the same - just 1 king bed.

This hotel has tiny rooms. The bed was on three walls so we had to climb over each other when we got up. Washcloths were not available. It had techy lights, blinds and media which was unique. Not for me!
