Great stay

Check in was easy. The navigator was helpful in suggesting places to eat. There are multiple restaurants within walking distance, as well as a restaurant within hotel (and Starbucks!). Brunch was great--careful, it is pricey! Location is key, and the views are amazing. Room was comfortable and clean. Walls are a bit thin, but it is not an inconvenience. I would stay here again.

Night Out

I booked the hotel for 1 night for my husband and I to celebrate an anniversary. We walked over to a restaurant and had drinks, dinner and saw a live band and it was great. The hotel pool and hot tub was nice. The locker room was very clean and the sauna was large. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. We would stay here again.

Great weekend get away

This hotel was easy to get to, easy to get to downtown, little italy and to get out of town to head to Cape Cod for the day. Also had a great band at the bar everynight. I would stay here again! Downside is the parking is very expensive.

A very nice hotel

My family had just returned from Germany and were plesantly suprise when we pulled up to the beautiful hotel . The staff was very nice and meet all our needs . I was disappointed that I had to pay $ 42. for valet parking while staying at the place , but was told I could "search around to find a free spot on the streets if I wanted to " , not too many options there . The room we stayed @ was clean & spacious with a very nice view , had coffee but had $ 4 .00 bottles of water on the counter, really, that nice of a hotel and you can't supply each guest a free bottle of water ? It's $4.00 for a case of 24 !

Would definitely reccomend

My friends and I stayed here last weekend and thought it was great! The hotel was very modern looking inside and out and was right across the street from the silver line. The rooms were very clean and cozy and enjoyed our stay very much. The staff was very friendly and helpful. It would have been more convenient if it was closer to downtown, but it was only a 7 dollar cabride as well as the T to south station was very close! All in all it was a great hotel and I would definitely stay there again!
