The entrance to the lobby is nondescript and the lobby itself is tiny and not impressive. The room was beautiful and the beds were very comfortable.

No restaurant or bar. The bathroom light was wired to the AC fan and went on and off all night. The smell of marijuana on our last night was overwhelming. Seemed to be coming from the room next door and through the vents. Management offered to move us, but my young son was asleep. Are we allowed to smoke in hotels now? It was all night and this morning. The hotel looks nothing like the ad and was a nightmare. No sleep in 2 days!

1. There was an empty plastic bottle of energy drink behind armchair and plastic bag stuffed in the magazine holder right next to armchair. Gross! 2. A man (works in the hotel) knocked on my door. I stood up and walked to the door, but in a second he open the door and rushes himself in a room. As a woman, I felt very unsafe! You can’t knock and then open the door right away! I do not recommend this hotel. Big dissapoinment!

Not great but close to TD Garden
Hotel was pretty empty booked a room with a king size and was given a double. Also hotel had a lot of construction going on. Assuming a remodeling. Room was also dirty still had open toothpaste left from previous visitors and a small holes in the sheets. Was also woken up to a loud emergency evacuation alarm. No breakfast or amenities not even an iron in the room. Only real positive was that it was walking distance to TD garden. Willing to give them a shot in the future maybe once remodel is done.

The one and system to make door keys was down for over 24 hours. Every time we needed to get in one of our two rooms somebody had to leave the front desk or call someone and meet us on the floor to unlock our rooms. Also, there was no phone located in my room in 812 so when we needed something we had to go downstairs, ask for it, then have someone let us into our room all while construction started in the lobby on our second day there.

It was great! But the front staff didn’t tell us much when we check. Not even the wifi info. The room was beautiful and smelled great almost like vanilla. They were doing construction on the main floor which would of been nice to know ahead of time.

This hotel is extremely well-appointed and all of the furnishings are new and lovely. The rooms are quite small so you wouldn't want to linger long, or at least we did not, but you can't beat the convenience to the Garden and also not a long walk to the North End. There are quite a few places to eat within a block or two, as well. A few downsides: the bathroom door is mostly glass, and it doesn't lock, and there is no fan in the bathroom, and the room's windows can't be opened. Also, strangely, no hair dryer in the room, no lotion, etc, some of those usual basics are missing which was surprising for such a nice hotel.
