I stayed at this hotel and found it to be centrally located, making it convenient to access the city center and enjoy the shopping and dining options nearby. The rooms were modern and stylish, although a bit small and impractical at times. The noise from construction in the back alley was a downside, but overall, it was a decent stay.

The rooms, despite facing the back alley and dealing with noise issues from construction, were modern and contemporary in style. They were a bit small and less practical, especially if facing the street or away from the kitchen.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms, although a bit tired-looking, were comfortable and quiet at the back of the hotel. The service was top-notch, with wonderful and helpful staff, especially Eddie and Leah. The location was fabulous, surrounded by shops and restaurants within walking distance of many attractions. The dining options were fairly standard but decent quality. Overall, a pleasant stay but with room for improvement in some areas.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel located right on Newbury St in the heart of the Back Bay, offering convenience to explore Boston. The rooms were inviting and warm upon arrival, though a bit small, but offered all the amenities I needed. The service was exceptional, from quickly resolving issues to accommodating special requests with courtesy. The prime location made it easy to explore restaurants, landmarks, and shopping on foot. The dining options were good, although some items were frequently being restocked. Overall, a great experience with a few minor drawbacks.

The hotel has spacious rooms with updated bathrooms and a quiet atmosphere inside, though it can get a bit warm with limited temperature control. The service is incredibly helpful and friendly. The location is perfect, especially for events at Fenway, with great dining options nearby. The dining experience offers delicious food but may lack variety for longer stays. Overall, a comfortable and convenient stay worth the value.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel in central Boston. The rooms, though quite small, were clean and comfortable, offering a nice view of the street action at a good price. The staff was friendly and helpful, providing a great experience. The location in the posh part of Boston was perfect, close to everything we wanted to explore, and the dining was excellent, although it closes early on weekends.
