Good for 1-2 nights but I couldn’t stay again unless i had a room with a window.
Pros:

Really new and great communal area
Breakfast was good
24 hr bar
Great gym
Bed comfy

Cons:

The bedrooms dont have windows which look outside - just to the corridor with circulating noisy air
It would be on for 1/2 nights but I began to feel very claustrophobic

Great location and staff very friendly …just wish we understood no window looking outside the hotel
Pros:

Location is great. Staff very friendly

Cons:

I didn’t like not having a window looking outside of the property. I feel this is misleading since the website doesn’t explain this

Also we (and other guests) had to seek out an employee to get bar service

Pros:

De locatie is erg goed en het personeel behulpzaam. De parkeergarage onder het Hotel heeft ruime parkeerplaatsen en je staat van daaruit heel snel in de lobby.

Cons:

Bij aankomst moest ik een borg betalen van 250 USD per kamer. Dit heb ik nog nooit meegemaakt en is vooraf ook niet gecommuniceerd. Ook heb ik 3 suites geboekt waarvan er maar 1 voldeed aan de afbeeldingen. De ander suite was zeker de helft kleiner en omdat er geen suites meer waren hebben we voor de derde kamer een gewone king room gekregen. Ook het ontbijt wat buitengewoon beperkt (om die reden hebben wij buiten het hotel ontbeten). Koffie was in het hotel alleen te krijgen tijdens het ontbijt. Er staat wel een koffiemachine maar het personeel wat aanwezig was gaf aan niet geschoold te zijn om die te gebruiken.

I would not stay here again for free l.
Pros:

Location and parking were only redeeming qualities.

Cons:

Terrible stay. The room and dingy and dirty- carpet and linens stained. No duvet covers. Bedside railing for top bed rusted and wiggling. Board on top bunk split all the way through. Not safe and management did not respond. Leaking ceiling at top of staircase, child almost fell. Loud with screaming guests and thudding all night long. Breakfast nothing like photo.

Good Value & Location for a Boston Trip
Pros:

Location was excellent - right next to T stop. Neighbourhood amenities 10 minute walk away. Staff were super friendly. Hotel was very clean and well appointed. Bed was comfortable. Good size TV in my room. Good shower. Nice communal area on ground floor. Price was good for Boston. We did get a (continental) breakfast - which was a nice surprise as we were not expecting ANY breakfast.

Cons:

My room had a noisy heater which kept waking me up until I worked out how to turn the damn thing off. Signage to room was very confusing - made me walk a long way around when I didn't need to. My room had no outside window and no coffee making facilities (though you could get coffee in the foyer and my buddy's room did). Pillows were like cotton wool and gave me a sore neck. My buddy's room had a bad shower which took a while to heat up and then the water flow dropped right off. Although only noted as a continental breakfast, there was very little variation....4 days of eating very stodgy bagels is enough for any man.

Nice stay in Boston
Pros:

Great location, friendly staff, nice comfortable lobby, fairly quiet hotel. Great stay and value for Boston prices

Cons:

The shower in the room was so close to the toilet that you have to side step to get in and out. There were no windows to see outside in our room. The window we had looked into the hallway of the hotel. There are not enough parking spots in the provided single level garage for $40 per night.
