    An espresso machine would make me happier. Prices are really high

    Fantastic location, close to everything: 2 minutes walking to the Quincy Market, 5 min to aquarium, 5 min to city hall, 15 to Public Garden and common Garden, where is the beginning of the freedom trail, shops, cafes, restaurantes, harbor and museums nearby. The subway station is just in the door of the hotel. If you decide to go by train from the airport to the hotel, is a traveling of 2 stations. It was very convenient for me. The rooms are large, with iron, ironing board, safe box, refrigerator. Large restroom as well, with amenities, tissues and good towels. Supportive and nice people attending in the front door. Free water at the front desk. Be aware the housekeeping service should be schedule every desired day.

    Floor structure could be confusing to find rooms. We asked for toilet paper and had to get it ourselves downstairs. Told by employees that JOIA would be open late night with music and neither night were they open past 10-11pm

    A great place to stay in the heart of Boston

    It would be nice to have a kettle in the room for a morning cup of tea, but there is a 7-11 next door where tea can be bought cheaply, and the adjoining restaurant provided cups of hot water for hotel residents.

    The hotel is in a fantastic location, very close to Quincy Market and the harbour. We were able to walk to most of Boston's sights and attractions from the hotel, including Boston Common. The staff were friendly, the room was clean, the shower was powerful, and the beds were very comfortable. I'd asked for foam pillows on one bed (due to allergies), feather pillows on the other, and this was provided.

    Our room had no windows, the smell was not terrible but could have been better, and the heater was making some noises the first night.

    The location is really good, close to a subway station. The value was good too.

    The location is great. Can walk anywhere in the city from the hotel. The room was small but very cute and quiet.

    I didn’t like the restaurant on site. They didn’t have a wide selection of food choices. The drinks at the bar were good but very expensive. The bartender and staff were rude.

    The staff at the front desk, when we checked in, were great. The room was nice. Location was great. We were on street over from Marketplace.

    The fact that there was practically no view from the window of the room I was at. Additionally, the attached restaurant was a bit pricey. Also, the carpeted floor meant that I got a static shock every time I touched the metal door knob or elevator button.

    The bathroom/shower was beautiful, the bed firm and comfy, and the room nice and big. The location of the hotel so close to the Blue Line was really helpful, and everything was in walkable distance from it.
