Gute Lage
Cons:

Beim valet parking wurde under Mietwagen beschädigt. Angekratzt. Wir haben es der Rezeption gemeldet. Wir sind gespannt ob sie ihre Verantwortung ggü dem Verleiher gerecht werden. Wir haben nur ihr Wort bekommen!

Everything perfect
Pros:

I was very satisfied with the room. It was clean with all the facilities I needed. It's only 3 minutes from the subway station which takes you to downtown Boston in 15 minutes. There are several stores and restaurants nearby so getting food and buying necessities was no problem.

Cons:

Nothing

Quartos bem
Pros:

Do outro lado da rua da Porter Station, com boas opções de lazer e comércio próximos. Hotel padrão bem confortável, com ótimo chuveiro e boa iluminação natural.

Cons:

A academia disponível fica em outro prédio de hotel parceiro - o que não é um problema em si, exceto no inverno de Boston.

Overall, would go again and we recommend going as long as you are ok with the valet parking per day option/cost.
Pros:

Central location. Walking distance to a CVS, City Target, and the metro T line. Plus, multiple food options within walking distance.

Cons:

Parking not being included in the cost and if it’s a Friday night or weekend, you might hear some noise from the Irish pub across from the street.
