It’s my family’s 3rd time staying at the hotel. It was called Loew’s the previous 2 times. We love the spaciousness of the rooms & the location is great - between downtown & Northeastern Uni, short walk to everything. The hotel’s front desk staff are very helpful & friendly and the restaurant serves great food. Will definitely return again.

I booked a Premium King room for an extra $70 per night. The Premium room was supposed to be bigger, have two windows and an updated bathroom. Long story short. None of the Premium rooms had all three of those features. Disappointing and misleading advertising.
