8/10 Good
"Great location for hitting up historical sites! Ask about the complimentary hotel tours and Boston cream pie classes when you check in. The staff was so helpful and when we requested extra things like ear plugs they arrived faster than any hotel I’ve ever been in. The bed is advertised as a queen but was definitely a full, and the rooms aren’t particularly unique for the price, but the location and staff were great."
