I stayed here for 4 nights for the Boston marathon. Couldn't have picked a better place to stay! Only 15-20mins walk from the expo and finish line area. Everything I needed was close by including places to eat, shop and the Wholefoods market. The room was very comfortable, nice en-suite bathroom, very quiet at night. The communal lounge area downstairs was perfect for grabbing a cup of tea or breakfast in the morning, and served as a nice space to meet up with other runners who were staying here too. There is also a fridge to store food or drinks if need be. I will most definitely choose to stay here next year when I come back for the marathon!

The location was great, just across the road from the train station and situated in the lovely Beacon Hill neighbourhood, with lots of lovely eateries and boutiques on Charles Street. Boston Common was just a short walk, and the whole city was within easy access.

The lobby/bar/living room downstairs was very comfortable and stylish. The concept is probably, that the room is for sleeping. If you want to hang out, than come down to the bar. There is no pressure to consume there. Very good located We absolutly loved our stay at this hotel. I will definitly book it again and recommend it to friends.
