"Visiting the kids who are in Boston, one north of and one south of... Used the Dagney as home base for one week. It was absolutely wonderful. Clean, modern, friendly. Doorman super helpful. Actually all staff helpful. 10 minutes to the airport. Cool coffee shop with the best cold brew. Restaurant had dollar oysters every evening. Within walking distance of the North End (little Italy), so Great access to pizza, Italian subs and homemade cookies. Loved the neighborhood vibe in the city. Great...

"The hotel is nice and centrally located. Disappointingly, the staff was not welcoming or accommodating. There is no business office that can help print boarding pass or other documents you’ll need like cruise documents. The night desk staff looked like he’d rather sleep. The room is comfortable. We did not get additional shampoo when empty. The service was not at par for the price we paid. "
