Overall ok but could be improved. A bit substandard at this price point.
Pros:

Room was spacious. Mattress was comfortable & sheets & towels were clean. Bathroom was a good size. It was good to have an ironing board & an iron

Cons:

We stayed in 2 rooms. Both rooms had a significant amount of dust behind the desks. I am allergic to dust mites so I was not happy about this. In one room the coffee maker did not work. There was no kettle in either room. I did not like the paper cups. A hotel at this price point should provide a kettle & china cups & proper glasses. The rooms should be provided with a small carton of UHT milk in the fridge. Also, the water should be free. Most hotels provide a couple of bottles of free water. The pillows did not provide proper neck support. Lower profile pillows would be better. Also the staff needs to make eye contact with the customers, smile & greet them whenever they encounter them in the corridors.

Good value for money in a good location.
Pros:

Location was good. Staff at reception were lovely.

Cons:

Noisy air conditioning ran all night.
Felt housekeeping could have been better.
There were 3 of us and only every 2 towels replaced.
We has buffet breakfast once which was just ‘ok’.

Good location for someone wanting to explore all aspects of Boston.
Pros:

Location was perfect. 20 min walk from Harvard, 2 mins from good bars and food, 35-40 minute walk to Back Bay / Downtown / Fenway. 5 mins from red lines. Reception staff were very nice and provided a great welcome.

Cons:

The gym was a little tired. Prices for food and drink were really expensive. Bar staff weren’t the most pleasant or helpful.

Decent enough.
Pros:

Room was spacious and clean.

Cons:

The toilet paper and tissue paper were cheap and scratchy. The toiletries also did not smell pleasant. Peppermint shampoo paired with cilantro conditioner? A terrible combination. The AC was also a bit noisy.
