  • When we were looking at possible hotel accommodation in Boston I was browsing through a Frommers guide & when I saw that Ho Chi Minh had supposedly been a bell hop here I thought we might stay here. Then I saw it was in School Street then we as then both school teachers at that time just had to stay there.

    Unique Qualities: Even though it was apparent that the hotel had seen better days I still really like the beautiful timber throughout both the lobby & also other parts of the hotel.

    Service was very good. Our room was very nicely appointed & we were very pleased with it as more than comfortable place to rest our weary legs after a day's trudging though the deep snow lining the streets & onto the sidewalks

    We enjoyed our stay there and would definitely consider staying there again on a return trip that we would both love to do to this beautiful city

     I was in Boston w/ a friend the other day. More pics on the way soon. We visited the Kennedy Library. Hope you get back there one day. It's a neat city.
