"My wife and student son stayed two weeks in this hotel. We travelled to help our student son settle at his apartment in Boston.
First the good. (The good deffinitely overweights a few issues.)
The king bed room we stayed in was very roomy, very cozy and very convenient. It had a sofa that was comfortable to sleep on as well. It had a kitchenette with a large high quality fridge, a sink, dishwasher, electric stove. It had all utensils someone will need to prepare simple food, which we were doing in the mornings and for supper as well which helped to reduce the overall cost of the stay in a city where dining outside is very expensive.
The bathroom was very large, clean and comfortable.
The personnel was very polite, forthcoming and friendly.
Everything in this hotel is new and and in proper condition. When I contacted the front desk with a few small issues, it took them literally a few minutes to dispatch someone to address it.
The hotel is close to North Eastern and Berklee colleges; ten and twenty minute walk.
The location is on the edge of a very sketchy neighborhood with roaming drug addicts. I personally had no issues walking there, but I wouldn't recommend doing it at late hours. We were exclusively either walking to the center in the mornings and taking Uber or Lyft rides back and forth.
Despite the issue with the location not being the best in Boston, I still grade this hotel with five stars."
