Excellent customer service from all the staff. The room was clean and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. I really appreciated the toiletries, bath robe, free snacks and the refrigerator. The free drinks at the lobby bar were a nice touch as well. Location was perfect for all the sights in central Boston. We loved that we could walk from the Silver line free shuttle from Logan airport.
