You’re paying for location

Overall, this was a great stay because we cared about the Fenway view from our room. It’s a higher end hotel, but the room is not any nicer than your average Hampton or Holiday Inn express. The outlets didn’t work by the bed, which is really difficult in this day and age. Overall, you’re paying for a location, but at that price I expected a little bit more.

Great place to stay. Convenient and near the T and Fenway. Staff were fantastic. Room was spacious and clean. They wanted to charge $75.00 for an early check in since the room was ready so we passed and checked our luggage. This was the only downside. After people are traveling, why not give them a room if its ready. This costs the hotel zero and goes a long way towards customer service.

Great location, but the service was so bad. I stayed there for 4 nights, the first two nights, there were no room cleaning services, even I called the front desk to request a regular cleaning for the second day. But when I came back on the second night, it kept the same. Plus, the vent system blew in the very thick paint smell made my daughter allergic. After complaining, we finally got another room. Till the checkout there is no one came to explain why I didn’t receive the service I deserved.

Room was average. The bathroom was old and the tub and toilet were clogged. A horribly obnoxious cleaning smell on the fourth floor for several hours as well. The lobby lacks amenities, but staff were quick, friendly, and helpful.
