This property was much different than your usual hotel, not a traditional hotel, but a collection of old brownstone row house style properties, each formerly a residence. I checked into the "hotel" at one address, then had to walk down the street and around the corner to the location where my room was. It was a beautiful sunny Sunday, so it wasn't an issue for me to walk there. I had no car to deal with, so I'm not sure if that's an issue, but finding parking on your own could be problematic. My room was a nice and clean room in an old residence. Everything was nice, but somewhat quaint. The TV had everything that you'd expect from a hotel TV, but there was no room phone; everything is done through your cel. phone. The room had a studio apartment style kitchen.
This is a unique experience, that while different than your typical cookie cutter hotel experience. I'm not sure if it was well described on the website and I just missed it or if nothing was said about these idiosyncrasies. If I was coming to Boston for a historic vacation, this might be a fun addition to the trip. It did not impede my purposes as a business stop, though I believe most people on a business trip would have been unhappy upon their arrival, if they didn't know these details in advance. I had an enjoyable time, but if in town, in the future, on business, I'd choose a different, more typical hotel for my base.
