Snuggly Stay
We had a very nice stay. The ease of the parking and the security was reassuring. I loved snuggling up on the couch when the weather wasn't at its best.

It did feel like a home away from home.
It was awesome! Amazing bed and blackout blinds — I slept like s baby. Located right in the heart of the Old Port, I walked everywhere once I parked. Parking was right beside the building and very safe right next to the Police parking lot. Building was clean and quaint. It had a lot of historical character, but the studio was modern, clean, and efficient. I was nervous because I am used to staying in hotels with staff, but Grace and team were reassuring — keyless key and all went seamlessly. Also, 121 Middle Street is only a 5 minute drive from Wholefoods and F45, Orange Theory, and Cycle gyms, so I got healthy groceries and an awesome workout too. I wanted to move in and will definitely stay there again. Thank you.

Very happy campers!
Our unit was exceptionally quiet. It was very nicely furnished. The bathroom was especially nice with an excellent shower. The location was very good and was only a short walk to many fine restaurants and shops. We paid for the private parking which was well worth the extra money. The assigned “docent” was very helpful and responsive. I can recommend the Docent’s Collection without reservation!

Disappointing
The checkin process is needlessly laborious, requiring you to download an app. However, my largest complaint was with the tiny bed and extremely loud water noise. I am usually a really deep sleeper, but I have never encountered a room that became so loud any time someone in the property used water.

We had a great time! It’s a little too pricey for a long stay, but comparable to other hotels in the area. The room was very nice and was more of an apartment than a room. Very well laid out, comfortable and clean! The person who met us was very nice and helpful. The room was a bit dry and windows cannot be opened. I’m sure for temp control this is the case, but I would recommend bringing a humidifier or a bunch of water! Overall it was a great experience and we loved our stay.

The room looked exactly like the pictures. There was no front desk to check-in, so it was contactless. The room was dirty, but they came back and fixed it. The manager and staff was extremely kind and helpful. We enjoyed our stay overall.
