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.

We knew we are selecting a small room and it would be within walking distance, but we didn’t expect to have so much help from the staff in finding what we needed and in being able to rent an umbrella. It was great!

We adored this place. The rooms are small but they do amazing things with the space available. It was hip, the bed was incredibly comfortable, the lounge area was very relaxing. The surrounding neighborhood was great, and it was so easy to jump onto the T from across the street. This is easily my new favorite place to stay in Boston!

Great rooms . No local phone number to call.

The rooms are non traditional , but they are unbelievable . No carpets which is a big plus . I had to book a room in this hotel due to an unexpected cancellation from another hotel . I was going to attend a family affair. Clean , modern , whimsical . Full of very young guests . The check in process is completed via tablets in the lobby with only one person attending the luggage and helping out guests. I’m more of the regular lobby check in but I guess this technological approach is where we are going to . If you want to contact the property and you are in your room , someone in the lobby will answer . But if you are outside and want to call , good luck , a bot somewhere else will answer. The rooms are very clean , modern . Beautiful in one word . But …. If you leave something in the room , let’s say a passport , or a cheese from another country in the fancy fridge, unless you can go back and do your request in person forget about it …. You may need to email or deal with the bot answering you. Certainly this is a SixSigma situation . I guess your corporate headquarters have focused on the technology and fancy appearance and forgot about the human experience . After all , we guests are people, not bots.

Location, Location, Location!

Location rules and this place is in the heart of Boston. 10 minute walk from the river, 15 minute walk from Fenway Park and 5 minutes from Copley Square. As for the hotel, there is no front desk and you check in via a kiosk. It worked great. The room was small, but had everything you need. It was clean and the blackout shade worked perfectly. A bit pricy, but fair for the location. I would stay here again.
