Macy's is the highlight of this street for shopping. The area is so, so overall. A bit sketchy! Part of the street is blocked off, so there is no traffic, making it easier for shoppers to get around.

Of course it´s tragic some depopulated former stately shopping streets downtown.local shops cannot cope with the competition from web shopping as well as retail chains and the shopping experience becomes mediocre.Not enough good restaurants and cafes to make it worth the visit.

Stayed on 25th floor, what a great view. Clean and very comfortable, large seating area to relax in after days shopping locally and strolling in the Common. Bedrooms large and good size bathrooms. Self catering in good kitchen space well equipped. Lovely pool area on 2nd floor and chill out area adjacent with Tv and coffee etc available. Reception staff very good and helpful. We would stay here again, very central.

I went to Rainbow's ladies' store which is on winter st nr. washington st. They were only 5.99 & come in a lot of different colors. I purchased turquoise. I'll wear them in my home.

Stores closed nothing to replace either. Since Filenes went years ago things just got worse. Nice for a walk on a nice day but that is about it.
