This hotel is just basic. It should be priced at $500+ a night.

Room is well appointed and staff is friendly and accommodating
The hotel advertises that the resort fee covers a coffee and fruits or pastry at Eastern Standard but eastern standard is consistently out of either fruit or pastry! The false advertising is a bit of a let down.

The Staff was amazing, so professional and helpful. Located near Fenway Park, not too far from historic hub. Public transportation was easy to access.
Would have liked better token "on the go" breakfast option. No access to ice without housekeeping delivery.

We were upgraded to a suite, decorated in BU memorabilia. Given that my wife and I attended BC, that was ironically funny. The suite, however, was spacious and lovely.
No criticism.
