Spent a week on holiday at this hotel which has some terrific features but also some that need improving.
The positives
- great location, lovely part of Boston, 2 min walk to Prudential Centre, T line, shops and lovely streets to explore
- space of suites is a nice change from tiny hotel rooms, kitchen is well equipped, nice shower
- friendly and helpful staff
- windows that can be opened, even if it means more street noise
The negatives
- serious problem of lack of soundproofing between rooms. We could hear people in the adjacent suite - talking (not shouting), television, coughing, snoring, as well as thudding footsteps from the floor above. Can't image how you would survive with a crying baby or amorous activities next door.
-decor and furnishings which may seem stylish, were uncomfortable. Two-seater couch and hard armchair in lounge area were excruciatingly uncomfortable, and with the large screen TV mounted high on the wall, we had cricked sore necks in no time. Four poster bed in the small bedroom was ridiculous and a hazard - we had to be very vigilant to avoid colliding with the posts when negotiating around such a small room.
- heating/cooling fan was one speed only, and very noisy and breezy when on. We hardly used it as the weather was mild, but it would have been very unpleasant and impossible to escape the gale if we had needed to use it.
On balance, the positives probably outweigh the negatives, but be aware that you are at the mercy of noise from next door and above. Bring earplugs - they may help.
