The room was very clean, all the staff was excellent, restaurant was great and everything we ordered was always cooked perfectly.
The location was great; we walked to most places we wanted to see or called an Uber the other times. We had 4 rooms there (all family) for the Boston Marathon and we would definitely stay there again.
