Fantastic location
Pros:

The room was spacious and quiet, with a comfortable bed and decent sized bathroom. The location is ideal for access to Faneuil Hall, Quincy Market and the aquarium, and if you don’t mind walking, Newbury Street.

Cons:

Only minor things - no coffee or tea in the room and with only two elevators, we had to wait a couple times to find one we could get on. Otherwise no issues

Pros:

Ubicación. Tamaño de la habitación. Baño impecable.

Cons:

Habitación con casi nada de luz natural, a pesar de estar en la ultima planta, y la iluminación artificial muy tenue. Nada de abrir algo la ventana para entrada de aire. Solamente aire acondicionado. Alfombras en el suelo, las considero poco higiénicas para un hotel.

Pros:

Location was great. Facilities were clean. Bed very comfy.

Cons:

No onsite parking, which we knew ahead of time. $40 usd per 24h. It's a couple blocks away. The street is a bit chaotic, but they do have a small unloading zone blocked off right in front of the main doors if you're driving in.
