    Room spacious and exceptionally clean. Bar service great and breakfast excellent. I forgot my mobile phone charger but on Saturday morning guy & colleague on reception was super helpful and found me a charger

    Our room was very close to the highway and it seemed expensive for a one bed room that wasnt exceptionally big.

    Location was great! Walking distance to everything! Our room was right next to the high way so it was noisy but the room was nice and comfy.

    The air conditioning in our room broke so we had To move to another room in the middle Of our stay. That was inconvenient.

    Location was perfect and close To people we were visiting. Made it convenient and Easy to see them. The hotel room was clean and they Cleaned the room daily.

    Compared to the other hotels in the area, it has more or less the same rate but still thought it is overpriced.

    Loved the room and hotel's modern interior.

    The noise of the highway at night mixed with the noise of the AC system was a concert that prevented me from sleeping right before a race... I can offer two suggestions if I may: triple sound/thermal proof glass windows. I had them at my apartment in Sweden and works wonders. As for the AC: MRO. Maintenance, refurbish, and Operate again. Yes, that's a bit expensive but your location and service will pay thay off quick.

    Most of it is great: the lady at the check-in was super nice and kind, room was really good in general.

    Located next to the expressway. I used a white noise machine at night to mask traffic so no issue for me but a light sleeper could have trouble.

    Convenient location for events near the commons and south Boston. Staff was wonderful, very welcoming and helpful with questions and requests

    If you stay here, make sure you check your receipt after you leave for baseless extra fees.

    CHECK YOUR RECEIPT FOR EXTRA FEES! After we left they decided to add on a "smoke free environment" fee & taxes totaling $280!!! Neither my guest or I smoked in the hotel. In fact, we went outside, passing by reception each time, to smoke outside in the bitter cold. It is absolutely ridiculous & harmful that this is considered acceptable. We went out of our way to be considerate & respectful of their property & the standards set for it. WE DID NOT SMOKE IN THE ROOM. At this point, I think they know that & did all along. They saw us smoking outside & decided they could get away with the charge. I can't see any other way this makes sense. At the end of the day, if they're willing to add on hundreds of dollars for this unfounded claim, I wouldn't be surprised if others had similarly baseless fees on their bill. They are not trustworthy. Check your bill for added fees after you leave.

    It was basically the same as any other decent hotel in the area.

    Only stayed 1 night. Did not have breakfast. On site food would be a plus. Nothing beats room service, and I had an uber eats order disappear. Got credit but it would have been easier if I could just call down for in room dining, or even if I would have had to have picked it up myself at a in-hotel restaurant. Mini fridge and in-room snack would have been a nice option. I was on the 4th floor and the noise from outside was noticeable. There seemed to be sirens frequently and other road noise. I would ask to stay on the other side on hotel next time.

    9/8/22 = Bartender was very attentive and I wasn't drinking at the bar but he saw me carrying an ice bucket and filled it for me at the bar. Other than that, the stay was great because the room and premises was clean, no unecessary noise from guests pr staff and I could just chill. The noise outside was another matter.
