the front desk remembered i stayed before a very cozy feeling i appreciated the spacious immaculate room the views of commonwealth avenue at christmas were good i really felt at home. e-check-in in advance made my arrival smooth valet parking was relaxed and helpful. i found the room quiet with a well-designed space.
the absence of a dedicated hotel bar was noticeable it requires using a small bar as part of the entrance to a restaurant.

rainfall shower efficient service
The room had a rainfall shower and two sinks. The minibar was stocked with various drinks and snacks. I appreciated that. I noticed the room service was prompt and efficient. The staff brought my order within thirty minutes. I found fresh towels and toiletries were provided daily. That's a detail I always look for.
The gym only has a few dumbbells. It could use more equipment

i was disappointed. the air conditioning was noisy. it made loud banging sounds whenever it switched on, disturbing my sleep. additionally, several overhead lights did not work. there were switches, but no functioning lights attached to them.
