    The beds could be more comfortable, I found the mattress to be old and not enough support. Also, there were days where the housekeeping was not up to standard, even though they did leave everything clean, they forgot lights on and towels out of place in bathroom 2 days out of 5.

    The staff is very welcoming and nice and ready to help.

    No Tea and coffee in the room (we were given kettle on night 3 which we were grateful for). Going down in morning to lobby for hot drink was annoying and there was no hot water for tea on one occasion and no normal tea bags. We are so used to European hotels providing this in the room. View was a building site. Found TV quite complicated to use and it felt like too many things carried an extra cost.

    Room was very comfortable - quiet, airy, great size, good quality bedding. Slept very well and we enjoyed being in it! Lifts were fantastic, never had to wait very long. Liked the atmosphere - although lobby quite dark. Staff friendly and helpful. Walked there from station and found our way round easily.

    The location of the hotel is perfect when visiting Boston. Lots of dining options and things to do are very close. The history of the hotel makes it very charming and comfortable. The lobby bar is one of my favorite places to get a cocktail in Boston. Very nice staff.

    Absolutely nothing.

    I came back to The Lenox because I had a fantastic experience when I stayed there in 2019. The experience is unchanged: it's a beautiful place, super location, but most importantly: a fantastic team. I don't know how they do it: every staff member you meet is genuinely interested, friendly and helpful. A super dedicated team that is trying their utmost to make you feel at home.

    Quite dark decor in the lobby area.

    Three nights in Boston and our accommodation at the Lenox hotel was perfect for us. Everything we wanted was within walking distance including restaurants, shops, parks, places of interest including the harbour. Even our car hire from Hertz was only a 5 minute walk to the Westin Copley hotel.

    No in-room coffee. Some mornings, you could get a banana at reception with your coffee, some days not. At breakfast, the air conditioning in the restaurant was a bit cold.

    We had a quiet room (as requested) with a view of the city. Check-in was easy, and we got help with the luggage.

    One small thing but it wasn't a problem, no kettle or tea and coffee in the room. There was plenty of complementry tea and coffee available in the lobby which was great but awkward to travel the lift with hot beverages.

    The staff were extremely courteous and friendly. The hotel was spotlessly clean and the decor was fantastic, it felt as though we were back in time with all the modern comforts.
