מלון במיקום נפלא עם חדרים גדולים
Pros:

מלון מעולה במיקום מצוין ממש מעל תחנת רכבת תחתית.
הצוות נפלא שדרג אותנו ליום הולדתה של אימי ביין ומאפים ונתן תחושה של כל יום, יום הולדת.
אומנם רחוק ב4 תחנות מהמרכז אך לא הרגש כלל בגלל היותו של הקו הירןק מרכזי מאד.
חדרים גדולים מרווחים ומפנקים.

Cons:

אין

Overall we loved the hotel and thoroughly enjoyed our stay
Pros:

What a beautiful place! Our suite was spacious and comfortable. The bathroom was quite large with a separate room for the toilet for those who like more privacy. The restaurant was very good with reasonable prices. There was a major bus and subway stop right in front of the hotel and Fenway Park was right behind the Hotel. There were plenty of restaurants within walking distance so the location was awesome!

Pros:

We liked everything, from the professional and friendly reception staff (Hello, Nick!) to a spotlessly clean and spacious room. The location was perfect for us as we travelled with a toddler and preferred to stay out of the centre, yet it was close enough to all the attractions by walk.

Cons:

Nothing I can think of

Great option for the Red Sox, spacious rooms
Pros:

The location is great especially for the Red Sox. Room size is quite large. Staff was lovely.

Cons:

The room was a bit beat up, lots is scuffs and dings. The fridge light wouldn’t go off and we had to get a repair man after the Red Sox game to get it turned off so we could sleep.
