Immaculately clean room with modern touches and beautiful artwork. Convenient location within walking distance to must-see attractions, restaurants, and the subway. Friendly and accommodating staff. Surprisingly quiet room despite facing a busy street with restaurants nearby.

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful, especially Liliana who gave us great recommendations for lobsters and helped us book tickets for the baseball game. The hotel facilities were clean and well-maintained. The location was convenient, close to attractions, restaurants, and public transportation. The hotel itself was nicely decorated, giving it a luxurious feel. We also enjoyed the complementary breakfast and the option to communicate with the concierge through text. It was a perfect little stay-cation.
