Great stay! Didn’t have soap in the shower bottles though… that was weird. Other than some very firm mattresses, wouldn’t change much!

This hotel is near the redline porter train station, which makes traveling very easy. The rooms are very small but clean. However, you can tell that it is old. What I did not like was the lighting, it was dim even in the bathroom.

Fabulous Stay!

Our room and the whole property was very clean and well taken care of. That is why we've stayed here more than once. Convenient to the T as well.

Valet parking was easy and fast. Hotel staff was friendly and check in was fast. This hotel is across the street from the T. The room was small but I personally didn’t mind this. The bed was not comfortable at all. The toilet sounded like it struggled to flush. The shower grout could use a good cleaning or replacement. The overall hotel is okay. There’s only 1 elevator that’s used by cleaning staff and guests and it always had a sour smell.
