The room was beautiful and comfortable and location was perfect! The parking and check in process was different from a normal hotel because it was all electronic with your key being downloaded on an app. First time I did it this way, so it was a bit of a learning curve. I had to call for parking info and someone answered the phone right away and was very helpful. We would definitely stay again!

You have to download an app in order to enter the property, I did not know this and when I called to get assistance from the person at the front desk. Which by the way, I have no idea where that is because I never saw one person. He was rather abrupt and condescending and kept telling you what I needed to do and telling me to calm down. I wasn't not calm. I just had to really go to the restroom. I wish they would put something like that on their website when you're trying to book. If it was there I did not say it. The room itself was very nice and very clean, but as far as the customer service it lacked and left a lot to be desired. Teach your people at the front desk to be a little bit more. Customer friendly.. instead of telling people to calm down and when they ask where the front desk is to continuously ignore them. Instead of explaining how the location works. I will never stay here again.

The apartment is fine, though dark for my tastes, but everything is clean and well decorated. The problem for us is how insanely complicated everything is. The check in involved downloading an app and complicated directions that had significant gaps in information. I am fairly tech savvy, but I still had problems. The staff I spoke to on the phone and with whom I exchanged texts couldn’t have been more lovely and accommodating. But the check in system really needs to be rethought. And in addition to the complexity it relies too heavily on one’s iPhone. But things can go wrong with iPhones. My husband I both wondered what would have happened if my phone wasn’t properly charged, for instance.
The temperature controls were also needlessly complex. In stead of enjoying our first hour here, we were wrestling with technology. The whole experience has been much too stressful. Right now I am trying to find check out instructions among the large number of texts and e-mails I’ve received.

The hotel was very clean but still under construction with no hotel staff on site. It had limited parking and there was none available upon arrival.

We had a very nice stay. The ease of the parking and the security was reassuring. I loved snuggling up on the couch when the weather wasn't at its best.

It was awesome! Amazing bed and blackout blinds — I slept like s baby. Located right in the heart of the Old Port, I walked everywhere once I parked. Parking was right beside the building and very safe right next to the Police parking lot. Building was clean and quaint. It had a lot of historical character, but the studio was modern, clean, and efficient. I was nervous because I am used to staying in hotels with staff, but Grace and team were reassuring — keyless key and all went seamlessly. Also, 121 Middle Street is only a 5 minute drive from Wholefoods and F45, Orange Theory, and Cycle gyms, so I got healthy groceries and an awesome workout too. I wanted to move in and will definitely stay there again. Thank you.

Our unit was exceptionally quiet. It was very nicely furnished. The bathroom was especially nice with an excellent shower. The location was very good and was only a short walk to many fine restaurants and shops. We paid for the private parking which was well worth the extra money. The assigned “docent” was very helpful and responsive. I can recommend the Docent’s Collection without reservation!

The checkin process is needlessly laborious, requiring you to download an app. However, my largest complaint was with the tiny bed and extremely loud water noise. I am usually a really deep sleeper, but I have never encountered a room that became so loud any time someone in the property used water.

We had a great time! It’s a little too pricey for a long stay, but comparable to other hotels in the area. The room was very nice and was more of an apartment than a room. Very well laid out, comfortable and clean! The person who met us was very nice and helpful.
The room was a bit dry and windows cannot be opened. I’m sure for temp control this is the case, but I would recommend bringing a humidifier or a bunch of water!
Overall it was a great experience and we loved our stay.

It is our first time staying at an “urban home”, and it exceeded our expectation. The staff was very kind, helped us sorting out a technical glitch quickly. Highly recommended.

The room looked exactly like the pictures. There was no front desk to check-in, so it was contactless. The room was dirty, but they came back and fixed it. The manager and staff was extremely kind and helpful. We enjoyed our stay overall.

The room was very clean and had a very comfortable bed. I like how you didn’t have all the noise like a typical hotel. It’s in the perfect spot and walkable to all old port. Grace was very accommodating.
