    minor updates

    The room decor struck a balance between modern elegance and comfort, making it a pleasant place to relax. We particularly enjoyed the spaciousness of the room that allowed for both comfort and functionality.

    The vintage charm of the building was sometimes overshadowed by the need for minor updates.

    comfy pillows
    cozy lounge
    misleading parking directions

    I had such a comfy stay with large, soft pillows and a seriously nice bathrobe just waiting for me. The hotel offered a cozy lounge and a fantastic bar area to kick back at. Just a heads up though, the parking directions were a bit off, which made it tricky for us to find the closest spot. 😊

    friendly staff

    top-notch area for discovering boston's charm and parks

    I had such a great stay as this place is just a few steps from Copley Square and less than a 10-minute walk to Boston Common, which made it easy to explore the city and soak up the beautiful park views. plus, the room was wonderful and the staff was incredibly friendly, making my weekend city strolls even more enjoyable.

    cozy rooms
    hot tub
    incomplete cleaning

    The hotel had cozy rooms and we loved unwinding in the hot tub and the lounge area after a busy day. The only hiccup was that the housekeeping didn’t finish cleaning our room upon our return, which we sorted out easily. Overall, we had a fantastic time and would definitely suggest checking it out! 😊

    Perfect spot for a weekend

    The hotel is super close to everything. I walked to the aquarium, which was fun. Loved the texting feature for room service—so convenient! Plus, there’s a bar area that's perfect for winding down. Just wish they had parking on site. had to walk a bit to find a garage.

    I loved the hotel's elegant decor and comfortable common areas, which were easily accessible for seniors. The inviting lobby felt like a cozy living room, making it a perfect spot to relax and meet fellow guests.

    distant location

    Upon arrival, the warm welcome was appreciated, and check-in was efficient. The room was immaculate and provided all the essentials for a comfortable stay.

    The hotel is somewhat distant from the harbor, making it less convenient for quick access.
