Very easy, very clean, super quiet given the amount of rooms. Incredibly affordable especially since you couldn’t ask to be in a better part of town. All in all a great option, I will definitely stay here again on any future trip to the area.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
My stay was a good experience overall. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, which made it easy to relax after long conference days. The only issue I encountered was that one of the towels in the room was not clean. However, the staff responded quickly and brought fresh towels right away, which I appreciated. Their prompt service helped maintain a positive experience.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It felt like a very international experience! Plus…the views…at check in they ask which view you want! Choose the river (Newbury). I stayed for business and didn’t spend a lot of time in the room. Breakfast buffet was fire. Not included but worth it. Just the lattes or specialty coffee inclusion is worth it! The rooms are tight but very functional. the iPad controls everything in your room which is very futuristic - a few glitches were annoying but worked through it. The mood settings are so fun. Definitely a different experience but once you embrace it, pretty cool. Gym was great, very airy and had options including a water based rower! Very walkable as well, about 20 minutes to back bay.
