Great location, walking distance from shops, restaurants, and public transportation. The hotel is a bit old but rooms are comfortable. Included breakfast is not so tasty though and they won’t clean your room everyday, only trash and towels. Would stay here again because of the location and area which seems pretty safe.

The hotel was a convenient choice near downtown and transportation options. One major issue was a leaking ceiling and mold in our room discovered upon check-in. The other surprise was the addition of an overnight parking charge. The premium price should have included parking. Breakfast and amenities were on the mark for a HI express. Friendly staff definitely helped smooth h over the rough start by finding us another room on a ‘sold out’ weekend.

The hotel was fairly nice, and I would’ve given it a much higher rating had they had not allowed a car alarm to go off all night and instead taken care of the problem. Being in Boston, you pay for your parking at the hotel. Which is fine, because there’s limited space. But that being said It is also would’ve been easier to figure out whose car it was that the alarm was going of. The first time was understandable, but the second time they should’ve warned them they would be towed or ask them to move their car if their car alarm continued going off. It was directly under our room in a covered parking spot, and it was left going off for like 10 min each time if not longer. The could’ve easily figured out who it was and asked them to move. It went off all night long, making it hard to sleep.

Great location and close to tram and bus station. Not too noisy although facing a busy street. Breakfast needed more variety. Parking was too expensive, $50 a night.
