The best
The best stay I had in a long time. It is a small room, feels like you are in a RV, but the quality is excellent.

Great location
The Boston Metro station is a little far away, but there is a bus stop right in front of the hotel. There is a supermarket and a Uniqlo within walking distance, so the location is great.
The room is small, but compact and not inconvenient for a short stay.
