I had a fantastic stay at the hotel, enjoying the spacious rooms and the incredible views of the river and city from my room each night. However, I found the hotel lacking in additional seating and amenities, with just a bed, dresser, and one chair provided.

The hotel rooms have been beautifully redone a few years ago and offer a good size with a great view of the river. The service was friendly, helpful, and welcoming, with a custom drink mixed for me by the manager. The location is great, with very nice views and close to Dunkin' Donuts and the L. The dining experience, however, was subpar with food arriving in plastic boxes. Overall, the hotel offers a mix of positive and negative aspects.
