Toilet kept running. Stains on the bathroom tile in and near shower. Coat hook hanging off wall. Side mirror loose. Back of bathroom door not clean and around the toilet paper dispenser has dirty fingerprints. Sink and mirror clean. Bed was comfy. I thought i read online they didn't do housekeeping unless requested i woke up and let my dog out tall quick and came back to extra towels( we had two on check in) Toilet Paper( we had one roll upon check in) they made our bed. Sounds good but wasn't expecting someone to go in our room in the 30 mins i ran out. We only stayed for two night. On the morning of check in housekeeping was knocking on door at 8am.

Excellent location. Staff was amazing. Rooms were spacious. There were some stains on the covers and the water was a little brown (possibly from the pipes). But I would definitely recommend this hotel.

This hotel is in a great location, just steps from the Common, Beacon Hill, close to the north end, etc. My only complaint is that the rooms are so dark…dark grey walls, and not nearly enough lighting fixtures to illuminate the room. I know you are likely going for a moody vibe, but I can’t see myself in the mirror!

The water was completely dirty, apparently there was plumbing work going on. They should have let their customers know prior to avoid using the shower or sink. The room was also dark with barely any lights.

Everything was absolutely great - cleanliness, friendly staff, location was perfect for our needs. The only down side was that we were awoken at 7:30am to the sound of someone grinding or sanding the exterior of the building right outside our window (on the 16th floor). It went on until we checked out at 9. Recommended that they not book rooms in that particular area until the work was completed as it was extremely loud.

Great location
Fantastic location, excellent staff that were friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable. The room was extremely small which made it difficult for us, the other thing we weren't fond of was the furniture was not functional, no dresser, only 1 drawer in the closet, lighting was poor. Closet and shelving were painted black, with the limited lighting in the room it was hard to see.
