The hotel is really conveniently located, close to the Boston subway system and near vineyards. Everything is just a short UBER ride away, plus there's an outlet nearby for easy charging. The rooms could use a comfortable chair but are overall cozy and clean. The service, particularly housekeeping, is top-notch. Dining includes a lovely selection of regional jams and a very good tea. The facilities are modern and offer good value for money.

My stay at the hotel was simply fantastic. Located right in the center of things in midtown Manhattan, it offered convenience to everything within a short UBER ride. The rooms were clean and comfy, and the service, particularly housekeeping, was top-notch. The dining experience, with included very good tea and natural products, was a highlight. However, the lack of a comfortable chair in the room was a slight downside. Overall, a great value for money stay with fabulous service!

The hotel was incredibly convenient with easy access to Boston via the subway and close to various attractions. The rooms were missing a comfortable chair, but overall decent. The service was top-notch, though housekeeping could be improved slightly. The dining experience was pleasant, especially with a very good tea option included. However, the chopped salads were a bit lacking. The facilities were satisfactory with some room for enhancement.
