A great location. We found the place stingy on amenities, including having no cups or glasses in the bathroom, and only two paper cups for two days and two people.

Check in is all remote- no hotel staff. Had no idea when the reservation was made. Took 30 minutes to get checked in online and get to the room. Have to upload ID and use face recognition. Room smells like a wet dog.

This was a beautiful room in a great location. We were near Fenway Park, Boston Commons, and the T line. One block away was Newbury Street with plenty of shopping and restaurants. There was a park across the street where we could walk or relax. We enjoyed our stay here.

Nice place but parking is not clear - Beware
Great area to stay. Centrally located in a safe neighborhood accessible to key local destinations. The place was very clean and checking in and out was very simple. However, ation is terrible. No clear communication at all regarding parking and parking is handled. Clear instructions would be very valuable in this case. You have to use nearby parking garages which are anywhere between five and 10 minute walks. Which is fine, as long as that is disclosed. Nowhere either in the fine print or in the print, does it state that. The only thing it states in the parking section is That it is “street parking - paid”. Very unclear in fact it’s pretty obvious that they didn’t give any further instructions on parking. That is all it says. When this was brought to the attention of the local staff, they lacked any compassion and simply stated “it was in the disclaimers in the listing” (I.e. fine print). We’re now stuck with a $60 parking ticket.

Lots to say and enjoy about the location. Communication is a little challenging. Tv did not work and was almost 24 hours before someone at the property attempted to address. The app is also not my favorite . But that’s the only negative if that is even negative. Really like the place it’s Comfortable, great location, perfect for a long weekend couples trip. Would recommend!

It smelt like sewage really bad. We did not feel clean at all and the room was small and lacked amenities. Overall would not return and were upset with the quality of our stay for the price we paid. The sewage issue needs to be taken care of asap. The one positive is the location. Excellent location for walking. Parking is difficult but there are plenty of nearby garages if you’re willing to pay!
