Everything was great except that they used a powder carpet cleaner that made it difficult to breathe in the room and we needed to open the windows in order to breathe.

We enjoyed our stay at this Hotel. Staff was very friendly and accomodating. We had to end our stay one day earlier than planned and the staff, especially Ryan, helped us out and we were not charged the last night. Also, hotel is nicely located close to Back Bay and Newberry St.
