If you've got kids with you, they have an indoor pool, and the rooftop deck has some great views where they can try to point out everywhere you went that day (also a bar where mom and dad can grab a glass of wine). Staff was really nice and attentive at breakfast.

Caveat is that, if the Red Sox are at home, the Green Line near there will be really packed for several hours before and after game time. However, the pomp and energy of the area on game days is probably something your kids would enjot.
