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.
