It was exactly what my daughter and I needed for our stay in Boston while scouting colleges! The kitchenette, updated bathroom and comfy bed made a lovely place to return to after lots of campus walking. We appreciated the luggage lockers and used them before and after our stay. It was easy to get to public transportation or grab a car service, but it is also very walkable, even in the middle of February. The only (very minor) issues were the toilet paper holder kept falling apart and the coffee maker kept splattering grounds into the cup. But those aren’t enough to deter us from staying here again.

Awful place. Check-in was protracted to say the least. Required multiple attempts to achieve. Then room was cold. Sconce at bedside would not turn off. Could not unscrew lightbulb. It finally fell off wall - clearly had been off wall previously and was hanging by a thread. Toilet ran all night. Would not flush! Bathroom floor was 30 degrees! Finally the hairdryer they said they didn’t supply but was in the room blew the breaker and most of the lights in the room went out! The breaker box would not open so I had to live in the dark! Extremely unpleasant experience. Oh, good thing I didn’t have a computer - no outlet at desk! Why have a desk! Absolutely terrible room.

I don't think this listing had enough communication about it basically being an air bb. I didn't stay there after encountering a locked door when I arrived in a storm. The site they make you sign in on is too much when you've already booked through a third party. I left and got another room. I am claiming it on my insurance.

We stayed a week. The property is tired and old. The beds were very uncomfortable and with lopsided mattresses. The shower stall leaked water. The shades did not cover the windows completely. One of the worst hotels we ever stayed.
