Reviews and Ratings
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean, and the housekeeping service was top-notch. The staff was friendly and always eager to assist. Checking in and out was a breeze, and I enjoyed the wine hour and the nice continental breakfast. However, the room with a window facing another building was a downside, and the cost was a bit higher compared to nearby hotels.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is wonderful, but there were issues with the room allocation and finding the hotel initially. The service from some staff members was exceptional, but there was a lack of visible signage. The dining experience was lovely, and the hotel facilities were decent.
My stay at the hotel was simply incredible! The room had a great view of the river, skyline, and the Freedom Trail, and it was very clean and spacious. The service was top-notch, with super friendly and helpful staff from the front desk to housekeeping. The location was perfect, close to all the tourist sights and with convenient access to transportation. The dining experience was beyond my expectations, a true bonus to start the day. However, the room temperature controls were uncomfortable for working, and the dining options were old-fashioned with limited healthy choices.
The hotel offers spectacular rooms with a tremendous view of the Boston Common, State House, and the Charles River, although they are a bit small to move around comfortably and have a haunted house charm. The service is top-notch, with uber-friendly and accommodating staff members. The location is superb, being within walking distance of key historical sights and great dining options, while still convenient for other activities. The dining experience is simple, offering a grab bag with mini croissants and coffee, but other options are limited. Overall, the hotel provides a remarkable experience with some room for improvement in certain areas.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were spacious, modern, and clean, with a really comfortable bed. The location was perfect, right next to many historical sights and great places to eat. The staff went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable, although there were some minor hiccups along the way. The dining experience was decent, with a nice lounge area offering a good selection for breakfast. Overall, a great value for the money.
The hotel offers excellent clean and comfortable rooms, with great service and a convenient location. The wine hour and continental breakfast add to the fun and relaxing atmosphere, making check-in and check-out easy and enjoyable.
Staying at the hotel was quite a mixed experience. The rooms were upscale and comfortable, and we even got an upgrade, which was a nice surprise. However, the initial room price seemed great until all the taxes were added on. The service was top-notch, with staff willing to go out of their way to assist us, even walking us to a nearby pub so we wouldn't get lost. The location was fantastic, right in the center of downtown Boston, close to great restaurants and the Freedom Trail. On the downside, the dining options were a bit basic, lacking variety in fresh veggies and hot choices. Overall, a good stay, but room rates might not reflect the full cost upfront.
