9.6/10 Exceptional! (1,003 reviews)
Breakfast was good. The menu offered many fresh options. Only issue was that we had to clear out of the restaurant by 10 since they had to prepare for lunch service.

8.4/10 Very Good! (188 reviews)
Apartment was clean and short walk from train. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Not too far from downtown Boston. Check in/check out process was very easy and convenient. If I ever find myself back in Boston, I’ll definitely see if this one is available.
