Great location. Lovely and convenient. Excellent customer service. Very friendly and kind staff. The only tiny issue was that the sliding door in the bathroom wouldn’t stay closed so we had to stuff small towels into it to keep it closed :)

I was in town to meet up with a friend. The hotel was in a perfect location for me and the room was clean and had everything I needed. The parking was helpful and the valet was friendly and fast. The attendants at the desk were helpful with directions and local information. I will likely stay here again.

Great location next to Porter Square T station and Commuter Rail to other parts of MA. Lots of restaurants across the street and one at front of hotel. CVS, Target nearby, clean rooms and beds. Friendly and helpful staff. Able to store luggage for rest of last day while I walked around with just a backpack.
