We were using the T as our transportation and it was close to a station which was great for us. We also had some terrible rain, and there were dining options that really helped us keep from having to go out in the rain. Staff was friendly. Great location for us.

Great stay

Enjoyed my stay. Was in town for a concert, and the transit station nearby was very helpful for getting into Boston. Beds, blankets, and pillows were very comfy and clean. A nice bench, desk, and a couple of chairs to use in the room were very handy. Shower was clean and good temperature. I loved the dove products including hand wash and lotion. Bright mirror, spacious bathroom sink area Nice coffee maker and variety of options. Big mirror Many outlets to plug in electronics, nice TV Enjoyed the breakfast included Things I didn't care about but others might: only one elevator in use and it gets busy and can take a while especially near check in or check out times The toilet made noise like it was trying to flush often, but toilet worked Stain on the ground in between beds Great staff. Whoever checked us in on Saturday was awesome. Younger man with a nice haircut and an accent. He made check in very breezy, and as it can be anxiety causing for me, I really appreciated that. He deserves a raise

Good room overall and breakfast is standard. However they do not give any water which is very weird. We all had to shop from a nearby store, very inconvenient. Overall location is very accessible though.
