Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, though small, were very comfy and pretty; however, the window facing a busy street with loud drinkers was a downside. The service was exceptional, with charming and accommodating staff, especially at the front desk. The location couldn't be better for exploring Chestnut Hill, amid lovely shops and restaurants. The dining options catered to various needs, but some breakfast offerings needed improvement. Overall, a decent stay with some notable highs and lows.

The service was exceptional, with friendly staff always ready to assist. However, the dining experience was rather basic, and the breakfast didn't exceed expectations.
