Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel is in a great location, right on Newbury St, almost right in the middle, walking-wise, of the Common one way and Fenway the other (about 15-minutes to either). The room was comfortable, and the place has that 'old but nice' vibe that is appealing. The only downside was that the shower had a clump of hair from the previous guest in the corner, which brings up the question of whether it was cleaned at all. Sometimes things get missed, and the rest of the bathroom and room seemed clean, but I can certainly say the Newbury staff was lucky it was just me in town and my wife was not with me.
