Club Quarters Hotel Faneuil Hall, Boston
"We had a great stay at Club Quarters in Boston. It was a close walk to Quincy Market. The only thing was the rooms don’t have a microwave or refrigerator. You can request a refrigerator if they have one available. Overall it was a great place to stay."

The Midtown Hotel MOD Collection by Sonesta
"They need mattress covers and sheets that fit and stay on the mattress. The "breakfast" is muffins and apples only. Not great value but Boston hotels are expensive. Room was quiet, AC was good, towels were soft."
