The extra touches in this hotel are what really make it stand out. The room had comfortable furnishings and a seating area for meals and work. Some views open directly onto Fenway Park across the Turnpike. Kenmore Square is a very busy student and commercial area, so there is some traffic noise (and although there wasn't a game while I was here, I imagine the crowds make some as well) but the luxurious accommodations outweigh it. Steps to public transportation all over the city.
