Reviews and Ratings
Our stay was a mix of wonderful charm and some missteps. The hotel’s historical ambience and location right on the Freedom Trail were fantastic, and we loved the bartending experience. However, the condition of the rooms left something to be desired, as we encountered some maintenance issues. For the price, I expected a little more comfort and quieter surroundings.
