"Too tier"

10.0

The staff was very friendly and super helpful. We also loved that it was right in the mix on State st.

Wish there were like a water fountain or ice machine

"Convenient location, disappointing interior and environment."

4.0

I liked that is was central and could walk to restaurants. The rooms was also clean.

The decor was atrocious and the room was much worse than advertised. The hotel felt more like a hostel than an actual boutique hotel. For what I paid, I expected a little more luxury; nothing crazy but more than what I got.

"Horrible stay. Read this before booking."

1.0

The location is great

The room size and layout was absolutely sub par/completely ridiculous. I am a small stature woman staying there with my mom. We literally had to shimmy past one another to use the sink (weirdly next to the bed) and shower with no privacy, and the toilet only has a fabric curtain for privacy. My mom hit her head 3 times on the poorly placed lamps and curtain puller in the bathroom. This place is a sham. Completely disappointed. Donโ€™t stay here. There are better options for the price.

Localizaรงรฃo excelente. Hotel moderno e boa decoraรงรฃo. Bom para casais em curta permanรชncia.

Quartos estรกndares sรฃo muito menores do que se imagina. Cafeteria local poderia ser melhor. Pouca atenรงรฃo dos colaboradores, ou quase nenhuma.
