“This Back Bay gem struck me as a seamless blend of historic charm and modern comfort, ideally positioned for exploring Newbury Street's boutiques and nearby attractions; I especially appreciated the 24/7 coffee availability and cozy lobby for downtime. While some may find the building's quirks add character, light sleepers might prefer a room away from the street, though, for me, the overall value shone through. A solid choice for those seeking a personal touch in a prime location.”
