Greta location but room too humid due to uncontrollable AC.
Pros:

Great location. Right by the Boston Common.

Cons:

The room is very humid. The AC controller doesn’t have an option to adjust the humidity. I searched Google using the controller model GCO, it says the humidity can only controlled by the app, which obviously only hotel staff has access to. I asked the hotel staff but they didn’t do anything it.

Great location in older building which has been updated.
Pros:

Great location near Boston Common and T stops. We were able to walk everywhere. Friendly staff and wine hour and bottles of water were very nice. Beds comfortable.

Cons:

The bathroom has no ventilation fan and extremely low water pressure. Housekeeping did not refill Conditioner or soap product in shower. Disappointing bathroom situation.
The room AC was inefficient and struggled to get it below 75’.
