Convenient and comfortable

Stayed at the hotel because of the proximity to the bus station. Always very convenient when we want to fly out of Boston. Very comfortable and clean. Good price too. Wish we could have watched a fox station on tv.

Room Change Made All the Difference

I've stayed at this hotel before. It is a great stay and closely located to all the things I visit in Portlant. After we settled into our room, we were sitting and suddenly heard an extremely loud party in the next room. The type that says, I'm loud and I'm going to be like this all night. At that point, I went down and asked if we could switch rooms. The change was made and the new room was extremelt quiet and peaceful.
