I stayed here for 2 nights in mid-Nov 2006. I chose the hotel partly based on the helpful reviews posted here; thanks to the reviewers for helping me make my choice!
Positives:
-- I had a huge room, beautifully decorated, with large bathroom.
-- I chose a room facing the interior atrium to avoid street noise and was very happy with that decision, as the room was very quiet both nights.
-- I requested and received early check-in, about 1 PM, without any problems whatsoever.
-- Hotel staff were helpful and friendly.
-- Service of the room was excellent; it was kept clean and serviced promptly each day.
-- This is a great location, convenient to the Quincy Market area (just a minute or so of walking). It is a short walk from the water taxi stop on Long Wharf and sits almost on top of the Aquarium (Blue Line) T stop. Numerous restaurants are nearby.
-- As a woman traveling alone, I felt safe walking around in the hotel neighborhood by myself at night.
-- The bed was extremely comfortable, and the reading lights were good.
-- There is a large, secured (locked) storage area for luggage, in case you need to arrive early or late.
-- There is free internet in the lobby.
Negatives:
-- The Aquarium T stop was closed for part of my stay (not the hotel's fault, of course!), but the Government Center and State stops are only about a 5-minute walk away as well. However, if it is critical for you to have the T stop right there, I would advise checking the MTBA website to see if any closures of the Aquarium stop are planned during your stay.
I was very pleased with this hotel and would happily stay here again. Thanks again to the earlier reviewers who helped me make the choice.
