“This Back Bay hotel strikes me as a smart choice, located steps from the Boston Marathon finish line. I imagine the complimentary breakfast and Wi-Fi add to the value, particularly for a boutique property in this prime location. The decor seems stylish, and I appreciate the easy access to Copley Square and the library.”
