Great location and comfort for 4 people
Great staying Boston, perfect and close to everything - 4 family members seeing the town and fit comfortably with the 2 queen beds. Calvin at the front desk was great, and provided great service and recommendations. One thing to mention is $65 overnight parking with valet but that seemed the norm everywhere . Highly recommend!

Calvin the Fabulous hotel manager.
The hotel was very clean and furnished with Herman Miller furnitures.
Calvin, hotel manager, was fabulous. He welcomed us with a bottle of wine. He was attentive and greeted us daily. We went out of his way to make sure that we get to Martha’s Vineyard successfully. We have been to many places around the world, but the treatment we received was simply the best.
Thank you for your wonderful hospitality, Calvin.

Service, location and cleanliness is great. Only real down is that you can hear service trucks, housekeeping and elevators very clearly. A bit more soundproofing in doors and windows would be ideal for any future upgrade the hotel makes. Overall very good stay. Everyone very friendly.

Bed Bugs
BED. BUGS.
Photo proof provided. Medical documentation provided (after returning from the trip) Not only was a refund not provided, cleaning of luggage and clothing was not reimbursed. After contacting them multiple times we were told "no bed bugs were found". (Attempted to upload photos for review, hotels.com would not let me)
