    The bathroom has zero room to put your things, no true vanity. The room we were in was at the end of the hallway and you can hear noise and vacuuming in the rooms next door and the hallway. I would recommend ear plugs for a quiet slumber if you sleep later than 8am.

    Location is key! Midway point between Fenway and Tiffany’s! Everything is walkable. All three doorman that we encountered were amazing and kind!

    I asked for a small jug of fresh milk for the room for my tea but they didn’t have any to give in the afternoon and to go to a 7-Eleven, they only have fresh milk in the morning which I found very a bit strange! The air conditioning was really noisy, no different fan levels, I would have had windows open instead but on main road so also noisy, the AC noise did affect our sleep.

    The location was great, really close to restaurants, shops and park, lovely building, very nicely decorated rooms, clean.

    A bit expensive the car park. Should arrange something more convenient and cheaper and at least direct clients to the ones close to the hotel as an alternative

    Lovely location. Also very cosy the room and the property. Would definitively return back

    The exhaust fan in the bathroom was weak, so in order to avoid all the mirrors fogging up we had to leave the bathroom door ajar while showering. A small inconvenience, but nonetheless, a stronger exhaust fan would be an improvement.

    Location to Newbury Street, Fenway Park and the T. and the welcome water with chocolate chip cookies!

    Our breakfast was included in our stay, when we arrived for breakfast the waiter said if we wanted cappuccinos or a different type of coffee just to ask - we ordered a cappuccino and latte - but also received a bill for $14 for same! I felt they should have pointed out that this incurred an extra cost - I felt we were paying enough for our stay that this irked me. Prior to receiving this bill the waitress gave us a bill for breakfast (it was $0.00 as it was included) but the purpose of the bill was for a tip, with a 20% tip being the suggested tip. As breakfast was a self service buffet I felt this was again a bit irksome. The only time the waitress came to our table was to deliver the bill for a tip(apart from when we later ordered drinks!!) We had stayed in other hotels on our trip(which were less expensive) and where breakfast was included and the waiting staff did not expect tips. I have to say it took from our experience at the hotel which was otherwise excellent!

    Great location, beautiful suite for family of 4, breakfast included. Very easy to access lots of attractions from the hotel. The suite was very spacious and comfortable and perfect for 2 adults and 2 children.

    In one of the rooms we booked the A/C was very noisy like a vacuum cleaner kind of thing and staff explained us that in some rooms the systems have not been updated. What bothered our big family is the breakfast service. It was very chaotic with food finishing multiple times in one morning and us having to wait for eggs or bacon for a while. Also in this level of the hotel I would expect being able to choose a hot drink apart from filtered one and the tea. Cappuccino was charged apart of a 22$ breakfast. Also on the four mornings we were their the choice on food never changed even a little bit and was limited to begin with (no vegetables whatsoever, only melon, apples and clementines for fruit), no chocolate paste for your croissants, no peanut butter, no dried fruits or nuts for your yogurt.

    Historical building with a old school design. Our 1 bedroom room was very spacious for a family of four. We enjoyed UNI restaurant for dinner (especially crab flies rice!). Very good location close to anywhere we wanted to go in Boston either by foot or using a well connected transportation from there.

    The AC in the room was really loud and although I appreciate old school, the TV was quite old and the bathroom also felt like it needed help. The breakfast was okay -

    the staff were super nice and attentive. The room decor was elegant and the room was quite clean, the bed was comfortable and the property well kept. The location is fantastic.

    I found it disappointing that they leave a nice hotel branded teddy bear in the room and then charge you $35 dollars for it. This is complimentary in any other ‘5 star’ hotel I’ve stayed in so I left it behind. 😢 Plug points were hopeless. Hairdryer etc wouldn’t stay in the wall & kept falling out. Was very annoying.

    Great location. Comfortable room. Clean, spacious.
