I arrived at the hotel during a raging snowstorm. I found a man seated behind a small counter watching a computer screen. At first I thought he was a security guard, but then realized he was the receptionist. I have never been to any domestic hotel with such a small reception area. I gave my name, and was told to go to the lounge and wait. Approximately six-minutes later, I was called back to the desk and given my room on the 1st floor (the hotel's euphemism for the basement).
I went down to the basement and followed the hall to the end. My room was buried at the end of the hall next to the service alley.
I entered and inspected the room. I was amazed to find the only closet was one-foot wide. I was also amazed to find there was no dresser or other piece of furniture to store or hang my clothing. It was obvious I would have to leave my clothes in my luggage.

Great hotel for those who want to be in the heart of Boston, and also want to close the door and get some good sleep. This hotel had nice smaller rooms, with fine accommodations and very friendly staff. Its location in the city was superb, and having formerly lived in Boston, I know where I want to be. When you walk out the door, there's a T stop directly across the street and you're in walking distance of every major area of the city, for those of us who like walking. The hotel was relatively quiet, and when the door was closed, you would not hear what was happening outside your room. Overall, a good few nights with nothing negative to mention.
