The hotel is lovely, with an amazing staff, clean rooms, and comfortable beds. The only downside is the restaurant/bar. It’s extremely slow. Even the coffe and the matcha were bad, the croissant was cold, The food in general didn’t match the hotel’s hight quality. However, there are many good restaurants nearby.

Overall, I really liked this hotel. I would definitely stay again. However, it was unfortunate that during my stay neither of the blinds would close so I had to sleep with them open as I had called front desk to get that sorted but no one came.

This hotel has the friendliest and helpful staff. The receptionist who checked us in accommodated a room change as we wanted a room in quieter part of hotel. Staff even helped us carry our luggage down the stairs upon departure. The vallet representative always opened doors for us and helped give directions. The location cannot be beat- next to Amtrak train station . All buses to airport, zoo, Old Town etc were one block away, including Sixt car rental which was 10 minutes walk. We walked 15 minutes to catch Flagship ferry to Cornoda island. Seaport was 15 minutes walk too. We felt safe walking as late as 1am with no problems. We loved the room. Complimentary breakfast was a fixed menu but plentiful even for a vegetarian! The staff serving breakfast sometimes got our order a little mixed up but quickly sorted it out. We would stay at this hotel in a heart beat.

Beautifully restored 1924 YMCA building. Wonderful bar staff. Excellent public transportation nearby. Take the 992 bus from the airport. It drops you off across the street from the hotel. Bus fare for two was $3.75. Sure beats exorbitant Lyft prices!
