Pros:

Value per square foot is off the charts. Much better than I was hoping for. Needed a spot to eat in most of the time and the facilities supported this. It is very close to major medical facilities which is a big plus.

Cons:

The hotel is beginning to show it's age. It is maintained well but the building equipment (elevators, public facilities) aren't top notch. The room heaters and a/c are very loud and a bit finicky. Again, showing the age of the facility.

Another great stay!
Pros:

Even though it was only one night everything went smoothly. We arrive way earlier than normally allowed, but our room was ready. The staff there were very friendly, efficient, and of course professional. The location is perfect! Our son is a doctor at Beth Israel and he lives 7 minutes away from the hotel. If you are a Boston Redsocks fan you can see the statium from the hotel. The breakfast has a lot of options and there's a gym to workout at. We will be back.

Cons:

The weather
