Panoramic view of pool. A great selection of food for breakfast, food was delightful. Easy check in and in general good service. Quiet location, 15 minutes' walk to a baseball stadium. Thoroughly enjoyed that it was 10 minutes' walk from the train station.
The breakfast was hearty and the staff were ready to help for the most part!
That hotel was surprising, the rooms were warm enough and beds were comfy. It was nice having complimentary WiFi, climate control and balcony. Spectacular views in an unbeatable location. Moreover, mapparium was 15 minutes' walk away. Restaurant was cheap. Admirable service, great value.
The place was spotlessly clean and staff were helpful, I thoroughly enjoyed quiet location. Rooms were decent & very traditional. Tasty breakfast, good service. A clean beach, panoramic view. Efficient hotel, my first choice in Boston.
