I had never stayed at a Club Quartes before, and was slightly wary of the budget accomodations, but needed a place for one night so I took a chance. I was very pleased with my choice. It is located on a side street in an old building very near Faneuil Hall, Quincey Market, and the aquarium. Check in was done by machine (a first for me) but there is someone at the desk 24/7 to help if needed. The lobby was small but nice and there was a large "club room" open to all adjacent to it that was plush and comfortable. The hallways were narrow as is typical in this type of building. My room was smallish (although I have been in much smaller rooms!) , cute, and very well appointed. It was very cleverly designed to make the most of the space and to soundproof the walls of adjoining rooms. Everything (TV, microwave, phone, bed) seemed fairly new. I loved the self serve water bottle bar in the hallway. The next morning I was able to leave my bags for $1/bag while I roamed around. I arrived late in the evening after the kitchen in the adjoining restaurant closed and there were no other nearby restaurants which didn't upset me much but would certainly present a problem for the hungry or those with kids. The wireless wasn't working the night I was there which was a disappointment to me. Some reviewers have commented on the noise but to me it was just big city noise; coming from SF I wasn't bothered. I did occasionally hear a noise from the hallway that I might not have heard in a larger or newer establishment but the price and charm of this hotel far outweighed any negatives.
