Our stay at Howard's was very good. We had to change our travel plans last-minute and therefor arrived in Boston at 3.30 am! But no problem, Howard set the entrance code to a particular numer, and entering was no problem.
The room was very nice, very clean and the bed very comfortable. You have your own privacy and we had the bathroom only for ourselves. The location is very good, nearby are a lot of Italian restaurants. Walking in Boston is very easy, and this place is in the heart of Boston.
