1. The food was above fair, arrived a little cooler than I would have liked it, and the french toast was more like standand toast with some cinnamon, but it was not terrible.

2. I have to admit that I was a little disappointed with the location, was hoping for a hotel closer to Feneuil Hall and the downtown area - but having said that the location is far from terrible and it's a short walk to the aforementioned area as well as to Beaconhill and over it into the Boston Common and Newburry Street.

5. all i could say is I had a bad stomach ache all the way home to uk, maybe somthing to do with the overcooked bacon or the disgusting scrambled eggs, for the $20 each we paid for breakfast I was really dissappointed and after complaing I thought the would of refunded as it was really terrible but no, the receptionist thought I was joking and laughed it off, me not wanting to spoil my holiday anymore, left it at that and was glad to get on that T to Boston airport.
