Awful place. Check-in was protracted to say the least. Required multiple attempts to achieve. Then room was cold. Sconce at bedside would not turn off. Could not unscrew lightbulb. It finally fell off wall - clearly had been off wall previously and was hanging by a thread. Toilet ran all night. Would not flush! Bathroom floor was 30 degrees! Finally the hairdryer they said they didn’t supply but was in the room blew the breaker and most of the lights in the room went out! The breaker box would not open so I had to live in the dark! Extremely unpleasant experience. Oh, good thing I didn’t have a computer - no outlet at desk! Why have a desk! Absolutely terrible room.

We stayed a week. The property is tired and old. The beds were very uncomfortable and with lopsided mattresses. The shower stall leaked water. The shades did not cover the windows completely. One of the worst hotels we ever stayed.

Excellent, but cleaning not satisfactory
Location is excellent and the room was spacious, comfortable, and well lit. The only problem was some parts of the room had not been cleaned well. For example, on my last night I dropped my phone down the side of the bed, and here discovered lots of dust, hair, a used cotton bud, and a cigarette butt…

A great location. We found the place stingy on amenities, including having no cups or glasses in the bathroom, and only two paper cups for two days and two people.

Check in is all remote- no hotel staff. Had no idea when the reservation was made. Took 30 minutes to get checked in online and get to the room. Have to upload ID and use face recognition. Room smells like a wet dog.

This was a beautiful room in a great location. We were near Fenway Park, Boston Commons, and the T line. One block away was Newbury Street with plenty of shopping and restaurants. There was a park across the street where we could walk or relax. We enjoyed our stay here.

Very cute and conveniently located in the heart of back bay. Tiny but charming room. Incredibly quiet despite the central location. Highly recommend

The property seems to be billed as a hotel. It is not. "front desk" man was RUDE. No one came to clean or give us fresh towels or new coffee pods.

Nice place but parking is not clear - Beware
Great area to stay. Centrally located in a safe neighborhood accessible to key local destinations. The place was very clean and checking in and out was very simple. However, ation is terrible. No clear communication at all regarding parking and parking is handled. Clear instructions would be very valuable in this case. You have to use nearby parking garages which are anywhere between five and 10 minute walks. Which is fine, as long as that is disclosed. Nowhere either in the fine print or in the print, does it state that. The only thing it states in the parking section is That it is “street parking - paid”. Very unclear in fact it’s pretty obvious that they didn’t give any further instructions on parking. That is all it says. When this was brought to the attention of the local staff, they lacked any compassion and simply stated “it was in the disclaimers in the listing” (I.e. fine print). We’re now stuck with a $60 parking ticket.

The location was great, there were so many shops and restaurants in walking distance! Would definitely recommend this place to a friend. The stay was charming, clean, convenient to get in/out, and had everything we needed for a short stay in Boston.
