    Didn't realize the lobby was under construction when we booked. Room was very minimal, not even coffee maker or kettle to make tea. Bell hop offered to bring up coffee maker but never returned with one.

    Loved the view from 17th floor room

    Could do with some USB ports in the room and none of the plus were in the correct place - otherwise all good.

    Great location - just north of Boston Common so easy access to the main area of Boston and also over to Faneuil Hall. Staff great and friendly and we had a large comfy room with city views. Asked for a kettle that they provided with tea bags. Used the restaurant twice which was really good as well.

    Our room was quite dated. A lot of the furniture was damaged and our bathroom looked old and dingy. I was notified they would be doing a major renovation so maybe it’ll be better next time we stay in Boston.

    Wendy from the front desk was amazing! We loved the free boxed water and how nice and cozy the hotel was.

    We arrived at night and the valet guy was quite rude and not welcoming at all. Did not ask if we needed help. Acted as though he did not want to have to park our car.

    Location was perfect! Room had nice amount of space. Decor was cute and fit in with the old style of the city.

    I was cold in bed on the first night and requested a blanked the next day which arrived very quickly once I'd requested it. The room service wasns't very good - I phoned down to ask for a drink to be sent up and this wasn't possible. The lighting was moody, but not very bright in the main part of the room. The bathroom was a bit tired.

    The location was excellent, and the room had a great view and nice furniture. I also used the fitness centre which was very good.

    I did not care for the a/c not working, when we arrived our room was 76 so we opened the window and requested a fan. We had to leave the window open for the duration of our trip to keep the room comfortable which made it noisy and difficult to sleep.

    Night mgr was unfriendly and refused to get me a blanket. Unacceptable for mgmt to refuse such a simple request. She said she would not go down stairs or wherever to get it and no other employees around. This was 10:00 pm on a Friday evening.

    Convenient and clean. Great room size, liked it was on the small size with no big lobby. Not crowded at all.

    This isn't only specific to this hotel: I have no idea why hotels in the last 5 years or so are putting sliding barn doors on their bathrooms. I could hear approximately 90% of what my partner was doing in there.

    The locations and the view absolutely cannot be beat. The staff were also very helpful, the bed was very comfortable, and the entire facility was clean and well-kept. Driving and parking might be tricky for an out-of-towner, but a taxi/Uber will get you to/from the airport in maybe 20 minutes, And the central location places you directly on the Freedom Trail and maybe a 15 minute walk to just about anything.
