    They assigned me a bed with a broken power outlet, and even after I complained, they refused to change it.

    Great location, right next to the Boston Commons and Chinatown. The private bathrooms and showers were great, I never had to wait for one on my floor. The vibe is great, very social and the events they put on are good.

    We were able to stay together as a family which was great with my little kiddos. It was quiet enough and we loved the chinatown location with lots of playgrounds nearby. Kind staff!
