Great location but no parking

We loved the location to Fenway Park. The bed is extremely comfortable, but it’s up against the window so getting in and out can be a challenge. We’re both small people so I wish I thought of sleeping across the bed instead of up and down it would’ve made getting up during the night more convenient. The room was very small, making movement quite difficult more like a small cruise ship room but it has a nice vibe and would definitely stay again

Hip Hotel!

Great hotel! It’s a hip and trendy place. The room itself was efficient, clean, comfortable and without unnecessary frills. I really liked the blackout curtain! Was in town for Red Sox games and stayed for one night. It was convenient location to Fenway Park as well as plenty of shops and restaurants.

Nice new property. Small clean modern rooms. Best for one person traveling for a short period of time. The umbrella has a check in and out. I checked it in but the employee never noted it even after asking for my room number. If I didn’t catch it I would have been charged for a $20 umbrella that I gave back. The check in computers didn’t check in smoothly.

Very good location for a Red Sox game, close to Fenway and transportation and food options. Area is very safe, clean and well kept. The room was very small and the bed was pushed up against the wall making it hard to get in.
