Parking was easy and secure. Hotel is in a great location. Excellent restaurant. I had the Deluxe Twin room. Great for a shorter stay. Modern and clean. This hotel is like a lot of these newer hotels where the room space is more efficient. There is no closet, dresser or refrigerator, but plenty of places to hang your stuff. Nice staff. Loved the breakfast. Practically next door to the Red Line subway Porter Square stop. Close to Davis Square as well, and the whole area is safe and walkable.

Unfortunately, due to a family emergency, I couldn’t stay. The staff and manager couldn’t have been more respectful in understanding my situation. I can’t thank them enough.

This hotel is one block from the T-stop in Porter Square. From the red line you can get anywhere in the Boston area. There are restaurants nearby and a great bookstore. Andy's diner is a great, inexpensive early breakfast right near by. The hotel has gorgeous, quiet rooms. I've stayed there four times and love the place.
I had an amazing room (see the one on the fourth floor with the lights on. Panoramic city view!
