The hotel's location has appealed to previous guests. The number of shops and dining spots in the area is said to be decent and guests have also appreciated being near attractions such as Stone Zoo, as well as the hotel's proximity to downtown Boston.
Although some guests felt breakfast was crowded, most have rated the quality as above average. The choice is good and the food is nicely presented in a clean serving area. Plus, the breakfast staff is friendly and attentive, keeping everything running smoothly.
Guests have found the rates here are reasonable and, in many cases, cheaper than the typical rates charged for hotels in Boston. Freebies such as parking and Internet access are appreciated and the free breakfast can help save guests money, particularly family groups.
Renovations have been taking place at this hotel (2015/2016) and a fair number of guests have been disappointed by the resulting disruptions. One of the biggest disappointments is that the pool is closed during renovations but guests also mention excessive noise throughout the hotel.
In addition to the noise created by the construction workers (which has been reported as starting as early as 7:30am), several guests also report that they found the walls between rooms so thin that they could hear other guests talking. The hallways are also said to be quite noisy thanks to elevators and ice machines.
Although guests often comment that this hotel is set back far enough from the road to shield you from much of the associated traffic noise, they also mention that the traffic levels in the immediate area and on the route into Boston can be high. Leave plenty of time for journeys - you might need it.
