This is more a compilation of different thoughts: I have to balance everything because the price of the hotel stay was very reasonable, in fact I thought it was a very good deal. The GOOD: It's a really central location, right on Copley Square and is on the same block as Sorellina, one of the best modern Italian restaurants I've been to in a long time. The rooms were modern and clean. The internet is complimentary, which I appreciated as a business traveler. The staff was very courteous. The not-so-GOOD: The elevator door was one of the smallest I've seen for a commercial building. Plus, there is only one. I was on the 6th floor, but I took stairs most of the times if there was a wait. It was a personal choice to get a little bit of exercise. My view happened to be of an alley and the building right across the backstreet. But since it was a business trip, I didn't mind much. Also, the valet is quite expensive, over $40 per night. I should've just cabbed it everywhere.

All that said, I'd stay there again.

stayed for 3 days around the marathon. wonderful hotel. Staff was great. nice and attentive. room was very clean, and nicely decorated. but the room was very small. see pics.

Free wine in the evening was nice. Brought ours to the room and hung out.

went to the bar after the race.

this is central to everything Boston.

Charming hotel in the best location in the Back Bay. A great alternative to the big chain hotels in the same neighborhood. It has so much more character, and is much easier to get in and out, i.e. no traversing through a huge lobby and waiting for elevators. The service is outstanding, and they have a fun free happy hour in the lobby with wine. Also a very cute and lively bar. The rooms are really nicely appointed, but it is an older building that has been converted, so there are quirks. Some of the rooms have teeny, tiny bathrooms. We opted for a larger room with a larger bathroom, but it was freezing, especially in the bathroom. They brought up a space heater which helped. We will definitely stay in this hotel again.

hotel is nicely designed and some staff are nice but some are cold and arrogant. rooms are tiny and so are the bathrooms. coffee in lobby in morning is the worste! it is cold and watery and does not taste like coffee.
