Club Quarters Hotel Faneuil Hall, Boston

Club Quarters Hotel Faneuil Hall, Boston

8/10 Good
"The location for the property is perfect for those who want to experience the "must sees" of Boston, with most within walking distance of the hotel. The staff is super helpful and accommodating. Its listed with a "kitchenette" and does have atop, wo burber cooktop, but no pots/pand/utensils, so if that's appealing to you, just be aware. It does have a microwave and refrigerator which comes in handy. As a frequent traveler to Boston, I would book here again, for sure"
