• Architecture of lobby.
• no convenient way to drop someone off.

“Easy, quiet, low key, and was unobtrusive.”

• Great location, good bargain if you're willing to go less than upscale.
• In-room Wi-Fi internet is iffy, though it worked fine in my room.

“It's an odd place, sort of a downscale conference center and hotel in a very upscale part of Boston. But that's good if you're a bargain hunter.”

• Small beds. Parking was $30.

“I loved the hotel, clean, great staff however the parking was an additional $30 which took any type of discount away. I could have booked a room up the street for a bigger and nicer room that included parking. This was not a deal by any means.”

Cleanliness:[8] • Staff:[7] • Location:[7]

• Courtesy of staff, quiet, on-time wake-up call.
• Failed to make up room until I asked, this happened at 7pm.

“Fairly well located, but rather bare-bones room for the price of $139. I telephoned twice ahead to say I would be arriving late. Still, the hotel gave away the double room I had reserved a couple of weeks in advance, and I ended up in a cramped single. Staff offered to move me the next day, but I did not have time to do this. They did reduce the price, but only by $9. My room was not made up, and the housekeeping staff had gone home by the time I discovered this at 5:15pm the next day. Someone came up and did the room later, but the person certainly did not know how to make a bed (blanket on the bottom, sheet on the top). The staff was courteous and apologetic, took a little more off the room for that. I probably will not stay here again, unless Boston is so crowded that I cannot find another place.”

Cleanliness:[6] • Staff:[7] • Location:[9]

• The location is very good. Right off of Copley Square in the South End.
• Hotel was not as clean as I like and the room was very small.

“This is not a great hotel. The room we had was miniscule. Not enough room for an extra desk or table. The walls in the hallway were filthy or the wallpaper was torn. One day we received no replacement wash cloths.



The only thing this hotel has going for it is location. I couldn't recommend this hotel and I certainly would not return.”
