United States, February 2024

7.8/10

The hotel had very spacious rooms with some great decorative touches and awesome views of Boston, classifying them as superior. My stay was fantastic, but there were some minor drawbacks like the location not being very central and the dining experience being a bit hit and miss.

Rooms

9.0

The rooms were indeed very spacious, and the decoration was lovely. The views of Boston were truly amazing.

Service

7.0

The service was a bit stiff at times, but overall, the staff was very attentive to our needs and tried to be helpful.

Location

8.0

The location is great, especially with the proximity to Massachusetts General Hospital, the Charles River, and the convenience to MGH. However, it's a little out of the way if you prefer a more central location.

Dining

7.0

The dining experience was a mix of good and not so good. Some dishes were amazing, but others were a bit disappointing, like the tasteless fingerling potatoes.

Facilities

The hotel offers some good facilities, but a bit more attention to detail in the dining area would have been nice.

8.0/10

The hotel room was modern and very clean, although it didn't quite meet luxury standards. The turn-down service was forgotten, and room service breakfast arrived cold. Overall, the room was acceptable, but luxury might be a stretch here. The rooms were very cool and nicely appointed.

8.2/10

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms had a fantastic view of the esplanade and Charles River, and though they needed some updates, they were extremely spacious with amazing floor-to-ceiling windows in both the living room and bedroom. The service was top-notch with the offer to comp my next stay and the unique, comfortable room decor. The location was perfect for exploring Boston, especially being close to Mass General Hospital. Dining could have been better quality, but the overall experience was delightful!

6.0/10

The hotel is conveniently located with easy access to the T station for city exploration. The rooms are average in a separate tower but offer nice views. Service was a mixed bag with extremely unpleasant encounters but also helpful tips. Breakfast is nothing special, and the prices are higher than typical hotel offerings.
