Great Stay
Pros:

We stayed here for a week. Food from the bar was great, good size rooms, clean with all the amenities required. A special mention to Danny, the Operations Director. Such a polite and courteous guy. We had a good chat whilst he was covering the bar. Anything you need help with is never too much trouble.
Thanks for a great stay

Hotel was clean, easy to get to and shuttle service was convenient.
Pros:

Free shuttle service from the hotel to various Boston sites (Museum of Science, Aquarium, etc.)
Breakfast was good. Most staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Had to change room because one bed was broken. Pool was closed because due to "unforeseen circumstance". It did reopen the next morning.
We were not told that children under 11 ate for free in the hotel restaurant until after we had gone out to eat. I even asked about options at the front desk. Thought they would have shared that information with us since we had children with us.

Clean, with Excellent Maid Service
Pros:

The maid service was impressive. The carpet, towels and bedding were nice and clean. The parking lot is nice. I did not like the shower temperature control. It was hard to set the dial between scalding hot and cool. If you have kids or teens, definitely help them with this. With younger kids, keep them away from the dial, because we are talking scalding water. The tile on the bathroom floor is very slippery when wet. Bring water shoes.

Hotel confortável e bem localizado, com margem para melhorias no isolamento acústico e na limpeza.
Pros:

No geral, o hotel é confortável e está bem localizado, com fácil acesso às duas principais linhas de comboio que ligam ao centro de Boston.

Cons:

O isolamento acústico do quarto é fraco, permitindo a entrada de ruído do trânsito. Além disso, a limpeza nem sempre foi efetuada com o devido cuidado, tendo-se verificado acumulação de pó nos móveis durante a estadia.
