Club Quarters Hotel Faneuil Hall, Boston

Club Quarters Hotel Faneuil Hall, Boston

10/10 Excellent
"We enjoyed our stay there. The hotel is close to many historical sites. It was nice having a sports bar next door to watch the World Cup. The staff were very friendly. The filtered water stations and the 24/7 coffee was an added bonus."
