    Housekeeping left our door ajar when we were out for the day. This was worrisome to come back to as we had valuables in the room. Luckily nothing was stolen.

    Great location and comfy room. Quite spacious and clean.

    I booked it because it said free continental breakfast. They only had fruit and croissants. The croissants were stale each day even after they toasted it. The coffee was mediocre. I just wish they were fresh croissants. I had to get breakfast at Starbucks for my daughter because she wouldn't eat them.

    It was good value for your money. The location was amazing-3 minute walk to the station.

    The elevators were slow. We nearly missed finding the hotel at first because the cafe tables in front obscured the entrance. Also, not much of a view from our room windows, but we don’t spend much time there.

    The location in the Back Bay is great- close to restaurants, shops and the MTA. It’s a small hotel, with small well-appointed rooms. The staff was friendly and the amenities were good, including free (and good) morning coffee and a croissant.

    Not really. 2 bottles of water are included only for the first day, but I could buy it for $1. It was a bit hard for me to use refrigerator, as it was put on the very upper shelf, I don't know why.

    The hotel is located just in front of Copley station. There are bar and restaurant on the first floor, and you can receive morning coffee and small pastry at the bar. The room was clean and equipped with TV and small refrigerator. I visited Charles River Esplanade to see Boston Harbor Fest, and I could go back to the hotel on foot even in the late night, as many people also walked the same way towards Copley station.

    The ac was funky as well as the shower didn’t drain well, and I personally didn’t like being given a real set of keys I would’ve liked a card or apple wallet keys for convince while exploring the city but these are also not huge deals for me

    Staff was AMAZING & can’t beat the location!

    The bed and pillows are not comfortable, the room is very small for what we paid. Also the temperature was warm would be nice to have a fan.

    Location was perfect close to all of the attractions downtown has to offer.

    Lovely boutique hotel in the heart of Boston Back Bay with daily croissants and coffee.

    The rooms are rather small, and we opted to pay more for a larger room for this stay. There is only one elevator. We usually elected the stairs.

    This is our second stay in this boutique hotel in Back Bay. It is steps from 2 subway lines and the Amtrak train station. The restaurant at ground level is exceptional for breakfast and lunch. Fresh croissants and coffee are included in the room rate. We will stay here again.

    We stayed in standard room which seemed very small - just enough room to walk around bed and for one suitcase to be out. Decor seemed dated but everything worked. Could have had more black out at windows - it was old fashioned mini blinds. That said we ended up feeling pretty good about the place. Old fashioned metal keys too. But lollipops at the reception.

    Good location, Cafe downstairs seemed very popular (our local kids said so too). Small croissant and drip coffee was available in the morning or you could purchase full offerings from the Cafe. Towels were fluffy and sufficient hangers.
