Fabulous location and friendly, helpful staff.

− The shower floor tile becomes very slippery when wet and could result in someone falling while taking a shower. A rubber tub mat would be very helpful.

Porter Square Gem !

10.0

We booked this room in Porter Square for the weekend to see the tall ships. It is directly across from the MBTA stop. Parking was another option and very reasonable. Our car was safe in a lot next to the hotel with valet parking. We arrived early ( prior to 8 am ) and the desk person was very accommodating for storing our luggage and allowing us to park there for the day. When we returned to the hotel early that first evening our luggage was already in our room. We didn’t have to pick it up from a storage room ourselves. I was surprised that they took this extra effort. Thanks Our room was on the fourth floor facing the street but the place is obviously built with a good sound proofing. Super clean. Nice bedding. Shower is hot with good pressure. My husband used gym facility which was well equipped. There are very nice facilities for meetings with microwaves and refrigeration but we were on holiday and didn’t need to work. The hotel is in a great area with coffee shops and supermarket handy by. Very modern facility. Easy walk to Harvard Square. I wish we had more time to explore Porter Square. Overall the staff was helpful and friendly. Definitely recommend the hotel. Anyone looking for a Boston accommodation would find this hotel a great find. 🍀

− Weather was hot and the room had very good AC unit which kept the room very cool. There was a sound that would come on intermittently for 6 seconds and then stop which was a tad annoying. I hesitate to mention this because I didn’t report the issue to the desk not being one to complain. However, I do like to be honest. I am confident they would have addressed the issue. So my apologies.
