"Fantastic location near Fenway Park!"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
We came for three games at Fenway Park. The park was an easy walk, less than 10 minutes. The service from the hotel staff was the best! Three guys went above and beyond: Labor, Frankie and “S”! They were so welcoming, helpful and always had smiles on their faces. Thank you guys for all your help.
