The room was very clean. The bed was comfortable. The room was quiet and the temperature was comfortable. We were only there for one night but no regrets! One note is that the walls are somewhat thin - we could hear our neighbours but thankfully they were quiet.

I use a walker and cane all the time, somehow on this booking i must have forgotten to ask for a groundfloor room. They had booked us on the 3rd floor and the best they could do was give me room 203 ( appreciated at the time)telling me there is a path up to the 2nd floor. (or Take the stairs) Well, i think they need to try this out themselves. With a walker you have to proceed up a pretty steep ramp (exhausting), up another smaller slope and past the reception area, you arrive at the door - there are 2 doors you have to manipulate with a walker and it is impossible if you are alone . You open the outer door and in order to open the inner door which opens outwards - which is where you are now standing with your walker in order to proceed into the building - but there is no room for your walker as you try to open the inner door. We stay there several times a year and if i book 7 months ahead the response is always the ssame that there are no ground floors available and they have 3 buildings No matter how far you book ahead, always the same response- very disappointed with their booking proceedures

The staff were great and our room was clean and updated. The kitchen had what we needed but a bigger bowl for salad or other bigger things would be nice. They have coffee made in the front lobby as well as apples available. The neighborhood is great. Close to Beacon Hill park and right by the museum. The area is wonderful to walk.
