Clean and comfortable beds, but very small room
"Room was clean and the beds comfortable, but the room was very small. Barely had room for one 26 inch suitcase. I don't know what we would have done if we had 2 suitcases of that size. There would be no clear floor space to the bathroom which would have been a hazard in the middle of the night."

    Excellent, chic boutique experience
    "Excellent, clean chic boutique hotel that was perfect for our walking-distance show at Somerville Theatre on a Monday evening. The hotel was not full, and the staff upgraded us, at no charge, to a larger room with adjacent living space. We really appreciated that gesture. Everything was perfect from 30 second checkin, 30 second checkout, valet with zero wait, very clean room with fridge, free water bottles and coffee. Silk-like bathrobes and slippers were available in the room! This hotel was worth paying for and location was perfect for our plans. "
