This fresh, boutique hotel has a welcoming and pleasant staff which cordially invite you to a refreshed and modern facility. It is located across from a great running area near ward 3 with Trader Joe’s and Starbucks only 3 blocks away. The rooms are nicely appointed and extremely clean.

An unexpected “activity fee” of $35 was charged upon arrival. This should be put in the room price so that guests know the true room rental costs before booking.

Everything was amazing except the bathroom - it was clean and well organized, but the water pressure on the shower head was not great (maybe due to its age? It definitely looked like it was from the 80s or 90s) and the shower pipe was not bolted to the wall properly, and we found 1 ant alive in the sink, though it could have come from anywhere. Otherwise our stay was great, the beds were comfortable, the staff was friendly and our room was well soundproofed. The lobby was also well maintained. We liked the convenience of the small distance of the hotel to the venue we were attending and how easy it was to get to and from there.

to find a refrigerator in the room. i didn't recall seeing this when i booked. the breakfast was very welcome although as a tea drinker i found the "hot" water was in a flask which didn't stay hot long. I loved the vibe around the reception and bar area it was a nice change from the usual form of reception areas. altogether I was really happy with my stay and congratulations to staff.

the lack of public transport in the area but i had a lovely taxi driver who showed up each morning to show me around thank you Osama

Neighborhood was a little industrial and on a very busy road. Not really walking around area, except there is a beautiful park on the Charles River across the highway. Fortunately there was a pedestrian overpass about a block away. Otherwise there are no crosswalks. The hotel itself was fine - the bed extremely comfortable and the room very clean. It could have used a comfortable chair for lounging/reading. The lobby is interesting, very pop culture like, but the seating is comfortable. the Coffee was meh and wasn't available until 6:30 am. That's kind of late for early risers. :)

Busy road, no crosswalks. Parking and drop off area is super tight. Not alot happening in the neighborhood, not so walkable.

Room was clean and spacious, and.beds were super comfy. Nice big tv. Handy to have a small fridge in the room. The breakfast was included and was pretty basic but had everything we needed. Location was a bit far out of the centre and not many restaurants nearby that we found, but there was a big supermarket across the road that was really handy. Overall we had a great stay 🙂

It was quite expensive for what you got, although it was cheaper than other hotels that we looked at in the area. It seems to be expensive generally to stay in Boston! The air conditioning in the room was quite noisy.

Great hotel for someone on the go who has business or activities to do in Boston for a couple of days. Rooms are quite spacious and very comfortable. Would recommend booking the suites. Quite a relaxing atmosphere with new and modern artwork/designs. Concierge desk ladies were very welcoming and accommodating. Excellent wifi with reliable connectivity for conference or general work activities.

Location could be an issue if you don’t have business to do in the Cambridge or Allston side.

Absolutely loved my stay. 🛏️ The beds were incredibly comfortable—perfect for unwinding after a long day. The rooms and common areas were spotless, and the attention to cleanliness was top-notch. What really stood out was the staff—friendly, helpful, and always ready with a smile. Add to that a fantastic location with easy access to the city and vibrant local spots, and you've got a winning stay. Highly recommend for both business and leisure travelers! 🌟

Our room was cosy, clean and comfortable. Dining table was very handy. We liked the location: took us no more than 1h to get to any place in Boston by bus and metro, which is a reasonable time for such a big city. Lots of grocery stores within walking distance. Hot breakfast and free parking space were nice bonuses. Overall very good value for the price. Will definitely stay once again.

Sometimes you need to wait for dishes or food replacements during breakfast. But given the space and quantity of people in the hotel the stuff did a good job to organize breakfast.

We loved the decor and individuality. The concept of the food halls was fantastic and in time when they have ironed out the kinks (only been open a week and had the 100% occupancy for the Boston Marathon to content with) the location and ease of getting around was great.

Contradicting myself from the comments in the plus section. The complimentary breakfast was very limited. The first few days it arrived cold but was addressed. We didn’t have US phone so had to wait for help. Also for the drinks they had to have a physical card to link and I only had my Apple Pay.

Located right off of Storrow drive, it's great if you need to drive anywhere in Boston, Cambridge and the surrounding suburbs. Nice views of the Charles, and easy access to the esplanade. I liked the decor and the public areas. Great for inviting guests over.

Basic breakfast, far from public transport (if you need it), and the elevators were a bit rough - they even called the firefighters because someone got stuck in one when we were there. Honestly, not bad for Boston.
