Wonderful location
Pros:

I stayed at the hotel this past Monday 2/2/26 and it was a wonderful experience. The hotel is spotless, the staff is wonderful, and the rooms our absolutely amazing. The hotel is also centrally located in downtown Boston on State St. you are steps away from Faneuil Hall, North End, Boston Waterfront, Rose Kennedy Park, NE Aquarium, and many more attractions. Also parking at the Dock Square Garage on Clinton St. was extremely convenient as well. All in all my wife and I had an amazing stay and I can’t recommend this hotel enough.

Great hotel
Pros:

This hotel is in a great location. The staff are very polite and had no problem with me checking in late at night. If you have an internal room you'll get a great sleep because you don't hear anything. Would absolutely stay here again.

Pros:

Very nice staff and restaurant attached to the hotel. I had to book at the last minute and an additional night due to the storm, and they were very kind throughout the process.

Cons:

The room felt outdated, and the bed was not the most comfortable. I stayed in a different room my second night, and it was a much nicer room with brick walls and windows.
