This place is fine. I guess downtown Boston is so expensive that everything down there is like 250 a night. I bought this place trying to save at an academic conference, but ended up paying essentially the same amount as the discounted hotel cost. This place essentially is a quality hotel but with shared bathrooms, and it doesn't have a front desk or fitness center or anything like that. The room was quite nice, big, the air conditioning worked really well. The bed was comfy, and the location was perfect. I didn't really care about the shared bathrooms because there were a lot of them. I barely ran into the other people in the building at all. Check in is extremely easy
