Narrow corridors, tiny rooms, no gym at the hotel, and the worst for me - no coffee machine in the room! When I have rarely experienced this, such hotels have compensated by offering free coffee in the lobby. But not here! I was told that I could buy coffee at their restaurant. Ridiculous.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. While we don't offer coffee machines in the rooms, Joia, the restaurant next door, serves coffee and custom espresso drinks starting at 7am. Additionally, there are about 15 cafes and coffee shops within a 5-minute walk from us (and some even closer). We hope to better meet your expectations in the future.

Great location at a good rate for a comfortable stay with helpful staff. The only downside is there's no coffee provided in-room or lobby, which is a must for starting the day! You can buy a bad cup of coffee at the connected Joia cafe/bar next door for $5. For Five Coffee across the street offers a much better cup for $3.50, but the shop was closed on a random Wednesday, and I had to go even further afield. First world problem but one of the small things that matter!

Thank you for your wonderful review and feedback! We're glad you enjoyed our location, rates, comfortable stay, and helpful staff. We understand the importance of a good cup of coffee to start the day. While we don't provide in-room coffee, as you mentioned Joia next door and the local area offer various options (within 2 blocks we have a number of local and chain options beyond For-Five). We appreciate your input and will take it into consideration. We look forward to your next visit and ensuring an even more satisfying stay!

Great place for staying in Boston. I was there for a concert at TD garden. Easy 15 minute walk. Walkable to many other places. Would definitely stay there again!
