Clean, modern, comfortable. Near great coffee and restaurants.
Pros:

Location, clean, modern…

Cons:

The AC in the room worked well but was weird in that a motorized hinge would open/close as it would cycle on and off, and a blue light comes on, too - which is slightly bright as you sleep. It seems like a trendy hip unit that is unnecessary.

Pros:

Great location by the T line station of Porter. Might be outside of Boston itself but not far at all to enjoy yourself.

Great value room that felt much more expensive than it was.
Pros:

Very cute with great details from the lobby to the rooms. Awesome location just a 2 min walk to Porter Square T station. Valet parking could not have been easier. Staff was exceedingly kind and helpful. Great beds. Great showers—hot and great water pressure. Will definitely come back.

Cons:

Nothing really. Our budget Queen was small but we knew that when we booked. The hotel does a great job making a small space feel big with built in shelves, high ceilings, thoughtful lighting and a little window nook that looks out onto Porter square. Very cozy and enjoyable.
