There’s a convenient grocery store just across the bridge, perfect for picking up snacks or essentials without having to go far. The hotel offers free shuttle service to downtown Boston and Harvard University, with clear schedules posted at the front desk. On our second day, the shuttle to downtown was unexpectedly canceled, but the staff were incredibly helpful—they arranged a taxi for us at no extra cost. For our return trip, we simply called the front desk from our location, and they promptly sent a ride back to the hotel. While getting to Boston Airport required using Uber, the hotel’s central location makes it easy to access various transportation options.

The breakfast spread was impressive with a wide variety of options, and I enjoyed every bite. The room itself was comfortable, though the bed is a bit high and on the softer side, which worked well for a good night’s sleep. Parking is spacious and doesn’t require reservations, but the $25 daily fee is a bit steep. Still, given the excellent location and overall comfort, it’s worth it. A solid choice for a hassle-free stay in Boston.

The value for money is outstanding, and the location couldn't be better—walking distance to public transit and just minutes from downtown Boston.

It's not just convenient for groceries—it’s actually a hub for many local eateries sourcing ingredients here. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with friendly staff who went the extra mile.
