I don't think this listing had enough communication about it basically being an air bb. I didn't stay there after encountering a locked door when I arrived in a storm. The site they make you sign in on is too much when you've already booked through a third party. I left and got another room. I am claiming it on my insurance.

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.

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.

Lots to say and enjoy about the location. Communication is a little challenging. Tv did not work and was almost 24 hours before someone at the property attempted to address. The app is also not my favorite . But that’s the only negative if that is even negative. Really like the place it’s Comfortable, great location, perfect for a long weekend couples trip. Would recommend!

It smelt like sewage really bad. We did not feel clean at all and the room was small and lacked amenities. Overall would not return and were upset with the quality of our stay for the price we paid. The sewage issue needs to be taken care of asap. The one positive is the location. Excellent location for walking. Parking is difficult but there are plenty of nearby garages if you’re willing to pay!
