Fodor's Review:

The clean, crisp, contemporary look of this boutique hotel is simplicity at its best. Steps from TD Banknorth Garden (forever known as Boston Garden) and an easy walk to Government Center, Faneuil Hall, and the North End, this unique nine-floor flat-iron (triangular) property offers one of the best values in town, if you don't mind tiny digs. The minimalist rooms have honey-hue walnut furnishings, gunmetal light fixtures, marble-tiled baths, and high-end mattresses, plus flat-screen TVs, CD players, and work desks. The neutral and white-on-white color scheme adds additional serenity—a welcome oasis from the maddening Garden crowds just outside the door, though some guests complain of spotty cleaning. Pros: great prices, free Internet, lots of restaurants and bars nearby (including an on-site lounge and tapas restaurant), close to North Station commuter rail and the T. Cons: small guest rooms and lobby, staff can be indifferent, lots of party-hearty clientele.

We booked this hotel through Priceline for New Year's Eve. The entire floor we were staying on had been rented by a loud party. We were unable to sleep all night long. We called at 2:30 and at 3:30 am to complain to the front desk, and while they did ask the guests to quiet down, nothing was done to enforce it. The loud guests went so far as to kick our door after they figured out which room was complaining and the next morning a group of young men were standing outside our door making threats. The hotel refused to refund us as did Priceline.
