Great Hotel for the price!

I was very pleased with this hotel. It was easy to check in and they gave us great cookies when checking in! They were very helpful when I forgot my toothbrush. They also gave us more cookies when we asked on the evening of the second day!

Very convenient to the hospital

We chose this hotel because it was very close to Tuft's University. If anyone is doing business with the hospital this is the best location to stay. The only down side with this hotel is there is no complimentary breakfast in the morning and no free wi-fi in the room. No indoor pool in the hotel. Starbuck's is in the lobby!!!!

Great Location to everywhere

The hotel location was right in the middle of all conveniences. The bus and train were a step away from the hotel. There was no free internet connection in the room, but they had a business center where 4 computers were available for guest use and it was very convenient. No free continental breakfast was offered. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was very clean and there was a small coffee machine and refrigerator in the room. No safe in the room. Overall,I would go back to this hotel and I would recommend it highly. Oh, there's a Starbuck's coffee shop in the lobby for you Starbuck lover, but it's not open past 5:30p on weekdays:(

Pretty Good Place

Parking a little expensive, but the room was comfortable. Food was good, but they don't tell you there is an 18% gratuity added to roomservice unless you read the booklet first.

Boston for a conference

The staff was extremely helpful and the room was clean and comfortable. The Hynes Convention Center was not as close as advertised (I thought we could walk, but not easily or quickly) and a cab cost between 9 and 11 dollars each way. The T was very convenient to this property and we utilized it often during our stay. Overall A.

Decent spur of the moment decision

Our stay was a spur of the moment decision, It was one of the less pricier places we were able to find in the area, being that it was a holiday weekend. I was pleased that the rate on NYE wasnt outrageous. My only complaint is the $40 a night parking fee .. which you pretty much have to pay being that the meters have limits. Also, when we were ready to check out I called downstairs to see if I could get a cart so I could bring down all the luggage. The lady at the desk told me they were too busy and that I would just have to make a few trips to carry it all down. First time Ive ever heard that before... All in all it was a decent experience.
