The room was clean, quite roomy & comfortable and the hotel halls etc were quiet. Our room was on the corner of 2 busy streets so a bit noisy but manageable. The location of the hotel was great, walking distance to downtown, parliament buildings, wharf & across the street from Beacon Hill Park. Also, the location allowed for easy car access to main streets to go site seeing outside the core. We would definitely stay here again.
