This is an attractive and well appointed small hotel very convenient to public transportation and many dining options. Public parking in the area is very limited so be prepared to use the efficient and courteous valet parking.

It is nice and clean hotel with very friendly staff. Porter square station is just a minute away. The hotel was quiet until weekend when guests in next room came. I think sound proofing is not satisfactory. I also wish if there were proper working desk.
