Our stay was very nice, aside from construction right outside the front door Friday, Sept 27. A worker was drilling the stone right above the front door without properly securing the area.

The bathroom could use an upgrade to match the rest of the room. There was construction happening during our stay which was slightly inconvenient.

Overall it’s a good experience staying at this hotel but confused about its management style which in the beginning I like a lot as a boutique hotel with minimum disturbing their guests. But after 3 day stay my daughter and I feel shocked that the valet guy is completely not friendly with unpleasant face expression towards guests. He didn’t even offer help to load our legates to the trunk of my car. I seriously think that valet guy is completely ruin reputation of hotel aka because he functions as face of the hotel. I will say the management group fails their job by hiring wrong people to deal directly with guests.

This is our favorite hotel in Boston. Close to everything including a 5 min walk from Amtrak. It was recently remodeled and so is more expensive than it used to be. They have a wonderful restaurant with outdoor dining, the valets are super helpful and friendly, and they are 3 blocks from the Public Garden and Boston Common. Not to mention 3 blocks from the fun of Newbury St. Need I say more?!

It would’ve been nice to know that the property was not fully constructed. I was also disappointed to spend almost $70 a day for valet parking and it took them over 40 minutes to retrieve my car.

This boutique hotel is in a good location, walkable, and close to transportation. The staff is friendly and welcoming. This used to be the Lowes hotel but it got a renovation and has a more sophisticated and subtle decor. We stayed in the standard room with a king size bed for two night, and it was comfortable. The only complaint we had was a funny smell in the room which might have been from the carpet or air conditioner and our room did not get serviced during our stay. The manager did apologize when we checked out and tried to remedy the situation, which we appreciated.
