The location was fantastic for exploring the city on foot or using public transportation. The dining options were simple but satisfying. Overall, the facilities were good, but there were a few quirks that stood out.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location was superb in the heart of Boston downtown, the room was quite small and lacked some basic amenities.

My stay at the hotel was pretty good overall. The location was ideal for walking to most places I wanted to visit, and there were plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. However, the service could have been more attentive and friendly compared to my experiences elsewhere. The dining options were simple but satisfying, though having no breakfast service was a bit of a letdown. The rooms were convenient as my office was just outside the hotel, but they were small and lacked a table for work or dining. The pricing, including parking, was on the higher side.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were small but adequate for a city break, and while lacking some amenities like a table, they were quite comfortable with useful appliances like a fridge and microwave.

Overall, the hotel provided a decent value for the money.
