The hotel had rooms that were a good size and nice and comfortable, although they smelled faintly of cigarette smoke. The service was friendly but a bit inefficient. The location was perfect for our needs, being close to public transportation and Fenway Park, although it could have been more welcoming. The dining options were minimal and lacked allergen-friendly choices. However, the facilities were pretty decent overall.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were ready before check-in, which was a huge help, but they were dirty and smelled like mold. On the upside, the room was a corner suite with glass windows on two sides, offering a nice view. The air conditioning worked well, and the toilets had been upgraded.

I had a very comfortable stay in this hotel. The room was spacious and made up daily, which was a nice touch. However, the hotel felt a bit tired and had a bad smell. The service was professionally courteous, especially when checking in, and the location was convenient, right on Beacon St with easy access to local eateries and public transport. The dining options were limited and overpriced, but the hotel had traditional local cakes available.

The hotel is conveniently located right across the road from the T stop, making it easy to get around and into Boston. The rooms were comfortable despite a slight issue with the initial temperature. The service was a mix of welcoming and accommodating moments with a brief frustration. The dining options were convenient yet lacking consistency. A good location for both business and leisure travelers, but additional fees for parking may add up quickly.

The hotel had a really nice room with a living room area, and the location is great for getting to Boston. I liked the lobby area to read the newspaper and the coffee setup. However, my initial room overlooked an interior space, so I asked for one facing the street and was moved, which was a bit inconvenient.

The hotel is conveniently located near the T line station making it easy to get around downtown Brookline, but it lacks nearby dining options. The rooms have some drawbacks like having only an internal window and a faint smell of cigarette smoke, though manageable. The service is friendly but had some issues with unexpected charges. The dining experience is below expectations with limited and processed food choices. The cleanliness of the facilities could be improved, especially the cleaning practices between guests.

The hotel's rooms had some drawbacks like faint cigarette smoke smell and water leak stains, but the bathrooms were nice and spacious. The location was convenient for public transportation and close to shopping areas and universities but lacked some fresh breakfast options. Despite the service being good at accommodating room changes, the property was described as somewhat grungy. Overall, a mixed experience with room for improvement.

The hotel was quite spacious and comfortable, with some plumbing issues during my stay.

The hotel's location is fantastic, very close to Fenway Park with spacious and swanky interior design. However, the rooms were disappointing, loud, and uncomfortable, lacking a refrigerator.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was convenient and close to Longwood, but the room setup was not ideal for three people sharing a bed.
