Many guests have loved this property's location. The building is located on Government Street, right next to Beacon Hill Park and within walking distance of both the ocean and the downtown area. At the same time, the property is quiet because it is far enough from downtown that it avoids the traffic.
Numerous guests have liked the communal garden area at this property. This area provides an excellent place to relax and guests have been fond of how quiet and serene it is.
There is a full kitchen in each suite at this property, which has been appreciated by past guests. This kitchen provides everything that is needed to prepare your own meals, allowing you to save money throughout your stay.
There have been complaints about the futon that is present in the living area, as it is said to be quite uncomfortable on which to sleep. This has led to people not getting any sleep at night, if they were unlucky enough to be designated to this futon.
Guests have been unhappy about the lack of parking at this hotel. Although there is some parking in the driveway, there isn't enough to accommodate everyone when the property is at capacity. As a result, guests have been forced to drive around the block to located their own parking space.
You don't check in at the actual property, but rather have to find a hostel in the downtown area to receive your key. Guests found this to be inconvenient, as they either had to walk downtown or drive and try to find parking in this busy area.
