    For this price I would expect slippers in the room and breakfast included.

    There is a lot of space in the room. The hotel is located right in the centre, but on a quiet street.

    Some staff were rude. We upgraded for a balcony but the door had a lock on the bottom.When I asked about this at Reception they said they knew about it and it was broken.They offered to remove the Tourist or whatever taxes they charge as a reduction but this was never received. Room was stuffy as we could not open the door.

    Hotel rooms could do with a face lift, carpets need replacing.

    The location was ideal, 5 min walk to my office but bang on top of local bars and market place. Rooms basic but ok for a few days. Liked the free bottles of water by reception.

    Room was large and comfortable but a bit noisy (end of hall room) due to street noise. No housekeeping day 2 so, no new towels and no coffee for next morning. Check-in was odd…young lady asked for ID, it was explained that ID was in luggage being held as checkin was not possible earlier…finally took credit card and processed check-in, she ran off to “get” the luggage but didn’t say if we should wait or go to our room ? then upon her return, no information offered like, elevator location, WiFi, ice machine location…overheard gentleman telling another couple who was checking in…just awkward

    Location is fantastic

    Very outdated, the outlets in the bathroom and vanity area didn’t work in my room and the shower barely had hot water. Bedding also wasn’t very comfortable, I like a down comforter but maybe that is personal preference.

    Location is right near Quincy market and walking distance to TD Garden + other popular areas.

    The loud music from Quincy Market continued past 1am, and the street below got noisy early cleaners, cop car sirens, horn honking, and sometimes people yelling. So we needed to bring ear plugs. There was a small refrigerator in the room, but it was completely packed with sensors that would charge your room if anything got moved. We could purchase a fridge for $20 for our stay but with so many food options across the street, I think they could skip the mini bar and just give every one refrigerator instead which would have been more convenient.

    The location was perfect, right across from Quincy Market and Fanneil Hall. It was one of the better priced options for the city when I booked as well. The restaurant downstairs served $5 Sam Adams pints during the weekday which was convenient and close. Better prices than across the street. The beds were quite comfortable and the rooms were large.

    Nice spot and would stay again- just do your research so you're not surprised.

    Like others: - I knew what I was signing up for with the destination fee, and agree with others that a higher rate from the outset that includes what they're going to charge you anyway would just feel better - Also like others, I agree the showers need more attention. This is such an easy fix that I'm confused that the Millenium group hasn't just invested in a bare-minimum improvement that would make an exponential difference. - The reason I upgraded was because I paid for early check-in but my room wasn't ready. I was fine with that and appreciated the nicer room, but I'm sure a lot of people would be surprised and maybe a little upset to pay $50 only to find out the room isn't ready. The Bostonian has a lot of promise, but seems to adhere to the "tourist trap" values of its location. I was satisfied with my stay, for what it's worth.

    Overall I would stay here again. I picked this spot after a lot of research and it's exactly as others say, so there were no surprises for me. It's perfectly in between, a nice hotel with motel features, or visa-versa. Overall if you're prepared to budget for extras, I would recommend it. Otherwise, the rate will feel "too good to be true" and might dampen your trip. I'm not really sure why The Bostonian depends on additional fees, because I think they could be a great hotel with dedicated guests if they just included all the things you'd want for the higher rate you're going to pay anyway. - Staff was straightforward and accommodating - The server/bartender/host at the attached restaurant is amazing. He needs more support, because he is truly being asked to do too much alone, yet still doing it with grace and talent. - I was able to upgrade to a nicer room when checking in - Very quiet room, with a very comfortable bed - Junior suite had a lot of space, the balcony was cute - Central location for anyone visiting for tourism

    The shower was pitiful in both pressure and hot water. Maxed temperature was barely tepid.

    The location was excellent with easy access to train and subway, and many attractions nearby. The facilities were clean, and secure. Okay Wifi connection speeds.

    The front desk staff who checked me in seemed overwhelmed and confused by some of my basic questions. Also the telephone in my room only partly worked.

    The location is unbeatable for visiting Boston. The hotel is comfortable and fairly well up kept. The staff at the hotel bar were amazing.
