In general, if you are interested in location and not going to spend time in the room - it’s ok
Pros:

The location is nice, historical center and shops and cafe nearby.
The staff is really responsive - we had a problem with AC and it was fixed really quick. Have no problem with communication.

Cons:

The room was like a prison without window - absolutely no sun light, small, no table or even chair. I am ok if photos represent the real state of it, however, the photos on booking looks like edited or made a long time ago and I expected room to be more sunlight and more “new”
The room needs renovation, because of cracks and stains everywhere. Bring some ear plugs because it’s also too noisy, I was able to hear the elevator and my neighbor

Pros:

I liked the location near the T and the coffee machine was awesome!

Cons:

I didn’t like the lack of space in the room. There needed to be a side table or something to put our luggage on. The room was a little dirty too.

Very expensive uncomfortable room
Pros:

Location and reduce parking fees

Cons:

Room was too small. We booked queen room. Bed was not queen bed. Very uncomfortable bed. No closet or dresser. No where to put our clothes. Table was so small, a laptop took over it. We were on the 1st floor rm 107. Near the lobby, you can hear people talking in the wee hours of the night. Should put a door to separate the lobby and the rooms on 1st floor. $600 for 2 nights was very expensive for the room we got.
