I had a great experience at this hotel in my hometown of Michigan Detroit. The rooms were fantastic with good facilities, though being close to the elevator was a bit of a downside. The location on a higher floor and away from the main street provided a peaceful stay.

The hotel offers a convenient location within walking distance to the subway, making it easy to explore Boston. The rooms are generally clean but had a slight issue with unwashed pillows. The service is outstanding, with friendly and helpful staff offering great suggestions. The dining experience offers a good variety of hot items but lacks healthy options. Overall, a decent option for the area.
