The main issue was the a/c did not work property during our 2 nights. We complained (as did others, it appears), but there isn't always someone on the premises at night. They did waive the $90 parking fee (for 2 nights) in compensation. Parking is limited, and tight: it is under the new wing of the hotel, and our mid-size SUV was a squeeze. Quaint and historic decor, lots of snacks, the T is a block away.

This was such a unique hotel. I love that it was an old firehouse. They've kept the charm of the old building, while completely renovating the rooms! We visited during COVID, so unfortunately didn't get a feel for the restaurant the normal breakfast buffet. But we plan on coming back again when things are a little more "normal!" Thanks for a lovely stay!!
