The Dagny Boston
Staff was very professional, room, clean beds, comfortable bathroom and shower very nice! We got a corner room, which was a little extra big and it helped so much. Would definitely stay here again. The walls are a little thin, but didn’t have much of a problem because we brought a noise machine.
