Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is centrally located in Boston, close to many tourist attractions and shopping areas. The rooms were quite comfortable and clean, although facing some renovation work nearby. The service was exceptional, with helpful staff throughout the stay. The dining experience was a bit pricey but offered delicious options. Overall, a convenient choice with great amenities.
The hotel's location is excellent, right on the Freedom Trail and close to historic sites, making it perfect for sightseeing in Boston. The rooms, although clean, are a bit small for families at the price point. The service is generally pleasant and helpful, despite a mishap with baggage handling. The dining experience is considered delicious and worth the price.
My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. The rooms were beautifully decorated and surprisingly spacious, but lacked some essential amenities like a mini fridge or microwave, and I found some items left behind by previous guests. The hotel had no pool or included breakfast, which was disappointing for the high price paid.
The hotel is wonderfully located right in the heart of Boston near the Common, making it easy to explore the city on foot. The rooms, though on the smaller side and a bit pricey, offer comfortable beds and great views. The service provided by the dedicated and hardworking staff was exceptional. Dining, however, fell short with overpriced and poorly cooked options. On the bright side, the hotel facilities are top-notch, delivering a delightful experience overall.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was incredible, offering easy access to major attractions, but the rooms were quite disappointing in terms of size and comfort. The service was friendly and welcoming overall, and the dining experience was satisfactory, although a bit pricey. The facilities were decent but felt a bit dated.
The hotel is in a prime location for exploring the city, being conveniently close to the subway station and offering easy access to various attractions. The rooms, although small and not fully spacious for the price tag, are well-appointed and come with free wifi. The service provided by the staff is exceptional, with a friendly and helpful demeanor, making the stay delightful. The dining options, albeit not exceptional and with limited choices, do not match the overall quality of the hotel. The facilities are well-maintained and functional.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with spacious and well-appointed rooms but could have been larger. The service was extremely helpful, especially when traveling with older children. The location was perfect, right in the center of everything, but it could be pricey. The dining experience was so-so and a bit overpriced. The facilities were great, making it a well-rounded choice for accommodation.
The hotel's location is great, very central and within walking distance to many attractions in Boston. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the bed was quite small for a double and there wasn't much space for our luggage. The service was convenient and all staff members were very nice. Overall, a good value for the money.
The hotel was a bit small for the price, but without blinking an eye, it was so quiet, centrally located within walking distance to plenty of breakfast options, and other places no more than 5 minutes away. Perfect for a stay!
The hotel is incredibly well-located, right on the Freedom Trail and within walking distance of many Boston attractions. The rooms are somewhat cramped but clean, the service is friendly and efficient, and the dining options are a bit overpriced for the quality. The prime location and helpful staff make up for the limited room space.
The hotel's rooms were small and stuffy, with uncomfortable mattresses and noisy air conditioning. However, the staff was incredibly nice and helpful throughout my stay. The location was fantastic, allowing easy access to various attractions, and the dining experience, though lacking in selection, offered excellent value.
