Hard to beat for solo travelers
Perfect for the solo traveler, the room utilizes every inch of its small footprint well. Technology rich features mostly work well and the hotel’s location is perfect for shopping and getting around by foot or public transportation.

Great location
Well located at the end of Newbury St basically on the Berklee campus. Great rooftop bar with a very lively scene and amazing views. Prep for the self check in and minimal staff interaction

Had several options to choose from close to the Hynes Convention Center, and the price point was ideal. Great room, clean if not a bit sparse on amenities (no cups). Comfy. Love the tech to control the lights and environment via iPad touch.

Right across the street from Hynes Convention Center T stop and within walking distance of great shopping and dining. I would highly recommend this hotel to solo travelers as the room is small, but very clean and safe.
