Historic old hotel so be prepared to find floors that are saggy in places and older rooms converted to electricity much like hotels in Europe. That did not affect our stay. Staff was great and location is 600 steps from Fenway and half that to the excellent subways.

Loved everything about our room EXCEPT the shower had no hot water after the second person took a shower. It was an inconvenience because the last two people had to wait it out ...hardly any hot water accumulated. Frustrated. We needed an extra bed, so I requested a roll away bed. We got it. But they charged me 20$ For it. But oh well, we needed it. Everything else was awesome. The room was clean. The AC worked great. Beds were comfortable. Oh and we had to pay 40$ for parking. Which I thought was stupid. People who get a room should Park for free.
