Property was ok but I was disgusted at the fact that they gouged us for parking. We paid $35 to park in an unsecured parking lot in the suburbs of Boston. Usually you pay these types of rates if your staying in a downtown of a major city. On a side note the room was poorly designed and the sofa couch was terrible.

Modern and clean

One thing I look for in a hotel is how the up keep is. This hotel right from the start at the lobby I could tell was modern and well kept.when I arrived at the room I checked around for cleanliness of the bathroom which even the shower was exceptionally clean as well as for the kitchen, living room and the bed and that I checked as many do for it being clean and changed and it was. The mattress was very comfortable also. The complementary breakfast in the morning was good with a large selection. I was happy with this place and would stay again.
