The rooms were pleasant and clean and the hotel was just a couple minute walk from the Porter Square subway station (red line). We stayed twice at this hotel just a few days apart. For the first night our room felt cramped for the two of us. For our second stay we got a larger room that was perfect for us. I like the hotel and the Porter Square area. I plan to stay here for my next visit to Boston.

This is an attractive and well appointed small hotel very convenient to public transportation and many dining options. Public parking in the area is very limited so be prepared to use the efficient and courteous valet parking.

It is nice and clean hotel with very friendly staff. Porter square station is just a minute away. The hotel was quiet until weekend when guests in next room came. I think sound proofing is not satisfactory. I also wish if there were proper working desk.
