The Ritz-Carlton, Boston Common is a small upscale hotel located just off Boston Common park. The hotel is not overly luxurious nor overly modern. It's a very comfortable hotel. It doesn't have a wow factor or anything, however its a very quiet and understated which is nice when in staying in a city. We had drinks at the bar and were the only ones so didn't stay for dinner.
The rooms are comfortable, well appointed with all the typical Ritz amenities. We had a corner room with tons of windows but not a park view. Still, it was nice to see the city from the room.
The Sports Club LA, the only fitness center for guests, is $15 a day per guest which seems steep for hotel guests considering its per day and that the internet is $9.95 per day. In the guest room literature, it said complimentary access in the club lounge and lobby lounge. When I went to the lobby for the comp access, the front desk told me I had read the literature wrong and that it was only comp in the club lounge. So, I went back to my room and rechecked....I was right but didn't mention it to the desk.
Nice hotel, but if you want an old world stay check out the old Ritz now the Taj or go for a boutique hotel like XV Beacon. The Ritz is comfortable but there's nothing memorable about it.
