It's a mid ranged hotel in Boston. But provides above mid range services and food. It's buffet breakfast very good with made in order scrambled eggs, bacon or sandwich. It is also clean, comfortable, and has an indoor pool, very popular with our kids. Overall we think it's a mid range hotel with very good value. Front desk staff was super friendly and helpful. We will definitely come back.

The hospitality was amazing! The hotel is beautiful. My only complaint would be that a little more attention to cleanliness is needed in the rooms. There were strands of hair on the blanket, and in the shower, there were also some sort of visible substance on the table. But other than that I enjoyed my stay. would stay again, and would also recommend.
