Emma, May 2025
Pros (+) The location of the hotel was perfect walking distance to most of the main sights of Boston. The room was lovely and the bed was super comfy. Loved the addition of the flavoured water dispenser on each floor - such a great idea.
Cons (-) The only thing was the noise from the bar downstairs in the evenings as our room was right above it. It didn't ruin our stay at all but would have preferred a higher floor room next time.
