Parking is excellent - abundant and no extra cost. Right in between iHop and McDonalds so that may be convenient for many. Room was clean, and comfortable bed. TV quality was fuzzy but I didn't report it or try to fix the connection.

Hotel was easy to find and the staff were friendly and responsive. Not much other than a room with plenty of parking but it's clean and quiet, still very close to the North End where we had dinner (17 min drive).
