The Boha Hotel

The Boha Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Really quite nice, and an excellent value compared to the inflated rates elsewhere. The rooms have a cool Adirondack feel to them, they're well-appointed, and the outdoor spaces are well thought-out, whether you utilize them or not. The ceiling/floor between units is a bit thin, so you can tell when someone's walking around above you, and it wouldn't be great if there were a couple of kids running around above you, but that wasn't my experience. One missing amenity is access to ice ... perhaps even having a single ice tray in the fridge's freezer would be helpful. Overall, a pleasurable stay."
