Cons
Some rooms (Queen Cabin category) have no windows
Standard rooms are compact at 140-180 square feet
“In my opinion, what makes this hotel special is its location in Back Bay, near everything you would want to see, plus the comfortable, stylish design of the rooms. The free breakfast and Wi-Fi add real value, and the lounge is a nice spot to unwind with Thai food and drinks. For anyone wanting to experience Boston's culture and dining, this is a great choice.”
