| A little cramped is an understatement. They put the four of us in a single room with a double bed for my wife and 12 yr old twin daughters and cot that was at least 50 years old.

| I've stayed here before for Sox games, and it appears they've remodeled. Previously the rooms had been clean but a little worn for the price. This visit, I had a newly carpeted and furnished room. I'll definitely be back...

| Unless you absolutely have to be across the street from Boston Childrens Hospital, stay at one of the other hotels that the hospital recommends. Our toilet did not work, the room was dingy and dirty. I've stayed at hotels at 1/4 the price that were much better. Another guest that I met in the elevator had to change rooms 3 times before they found a room where the air-conditioning worked. I would avoid this hotel if you can.

| Its cleaning crew was impressive. My room was sparkly clean everyday during my 4 day long stay. It is also in the great location. Only 2 miles to major business area in the Boston's downtown. The hotel is directly connected to the food court that has a variety of fast food restaurants. Great place to stay for a business trip to Boston.

| The hotel itself is fine, especially if you need to stay near the major Boston hospital complex (Beth Israel, Brigham, Children's, etc.). When my wife called me, they denied that I was a guest, although I had checked in hours before. I ordered room service 3 times - once, virtually everything was wrong; once only partly wrong; once they got it essentially right, although they never seemed able to add lemon slices on the side when I requested them with my water, and they even repeated the order over the phone - just did not bring them. They generally responded quickly to remedy each situation, although one night I waited for 15 minutes or more for a soup spoon. Bottom line - eat in the restaurant itself, rather than using room service. There also is a food court within the building, with a wide variety of fast food. The hotel is clean, very convenient for the hospitals, and not too far from Fenway Park. I would stay there again for business at the hospitals. There is a parking garage right there.
