Lovely introduction to boston

The hotel was very good and with great character. our room was almost like an apartment with a little side corridor. this used to be a police station and so the layout is not the traditional layout of a hotel. the rooms were very clean and made our stay very special.

A great hotel at an awesome price!

Clean, well appointed rooms, friendly and accomodating staff, and a good location, all at a great price! i don't have very many complaints. the staff was helpful when we had questions about the local area, the car was valet parked and available within 10 minutes or less (great for any major city - i've waited 30 minutes in new york). cabs were available at a cab stop literally right outside the hotel door, and newbury street was only a couple of blocks away. a great vacation overall.
