Our stay was wonderful. The hotel was nice; it had everything we needed. Parking was easy and we were within walking distance to our event. The bed was comfortable and had nice sheets. The gym had everything you could need and the pool was larger than most hotel pools. Breakfast at the restaurant was delicious, the staff was very friendly and efficient.

Everything was great, the staff was helpful.and friendly and the room was clean and tidy. The only minor thing i can complain about if i had to pick was the parking was a bit confusing and could be wxpensive but the staff was helpful with that as well and i had to keep in mind that we were in Boston.
