Very easy, very clean, super quiet given the amount of rooms. Incredibly affordable especially since you couldn’t ask to be in a better part of town. All in all a great option, I will definitely stay here again on any future trip to the area.

The best stay I had in a long time. It is a small room, feels like you are in a RV, but the quality is excellent.

We stayed here for the convenient location and proximity to Boston University . However I don’t plan to stay here again because the room was awfully small and expensive. We paid approximately $300 pero night. I get it, it’s Boston. The problem is that the room was basically a bed tucked between a window and two walls with the tv at my feet . If I closed the blinds I felt claustrophobic. The shower was also like a glass encased translucent capsule which made my teenage daughter feel self conscious. I did love the area where we were located but definitely this place is not for me.
