Pleasant stay
Cute hotel, comfortable rooms, convenient location. Only issues were 1) we tried calling 4 times to let them know flight was significantly delayed, and no one ever answered the phone, and 2) there is a frosted glass window between the bathroom and the bedroom, which means if anyone turns on the bathroom light, the bedroom is illuminated (which woke both of us up at different points during the stay).

Room was clean. Spacious for all my things. Bathroom was a good size. Windows open so I got fresh air. Bed was comfortable. No complaints. Would stay again.

Great place to use as a base for exploring Boston on public transport. T station right opposite, buy a day (or longer) Charlie card and travel all over on the public transport system. Easy links to airport and cruise port. No food at hotel but number of eateries within walking distance plus Neros coffee shop under he same roof.

Small but very clean and modern. Only major disappointment was the lack of sugar free sweetener for the coffee.

Everything was excellent. The only complaint I have is the shower. The floor was extremely slippery and dangerous when rinsing the soap off your body.
