"This hotel has the advantage of a perfect location, close to South Station, the Financial District, and North End, but on a quiet street with little traffic and no crowds. It is a well-run hotel, easy check in, good service, and has a lounge area with coffee always available. The exercise room is decent though small and the rooms are reasonably large and comfortable. It's my first choice in downtown Boston. "
