Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was clean and the little space I had felt private. The way you could control your own lights and bed angle was neat! I think the air con control wasn't working in mine (and it felt warm throughout the building). Convenient spot near North Station (so near everything in Boston, with the transit connections) and relatively peaceful once inside the building.
