Great hotel -- but get an inside room!
Nicely appointed boutique hotel in a great location only steps from the North End and Quincy Market. Unfortunately, the street noise from nearby bars (up to and after closing at 2:00 a.m.) is intolerable, so if you stay, heed the warnings to get an inside room. We didn't and really suffered for it. We stayed only one night, but left Boston exhausted, not a fun way to start the work week. The staff at the front desk is OK. Your iPhone apps may be more knowledgeable and helpful for getting information about restaurants, etc. The rooms are spotless and well-appointed, not large, great for a couple. Parking arrangement at 75 State Street is a big bonus. All-in-all, a good value, but be sure to ask for a quiet room location.
