If you are searching Boston hotels, reading reviews and just can't decide, I'll make it easy; STAY HERE!
Let me start off by stating, I had never been to Boston before, so I didn't know what to expect or where to stay. My reason for going was a little business, but mostly pleasure with my now, fiancée. The entire staff was perfect! They were courteous, respectful and were just genuinely nice people. Two in general made my stay very special, the Lead concierge and one of the hotel managers (I didn't want to put their names here, but thank you again!) The hotel is not some oversized, get lost type hotel where you feel like you are just a number (like 1 in a million). It has 18 floors and we were lucky enough to be on one of the top 3 floors. The top 3 have great views and floor to ceiling windows but judging by the location, just about any room appears to be a great view. We first walked in and noticed a wine hour going on in the lobby which looked Intriguing. In my opinion, the hotel was very class and had a modern twist. It was extremely clean and the staff was courteous and well dressed. We checked in with no problem or waiting. Because we signed up for their free rewards card, we received a $10 mini bar coupon and free wifi. What the heck, it was free to sign up!! I should also mention this was a special occasion, so I contacted the hotel prior and they assisted in my in "prepping" my room ahead of time. In our room was wine, candy and rose pedals (and roses) on the bed. It was a little extra but well worth it. A couple days prior, I received an email asking if there was anything else they could do. They suggested I email them a photo of a pet, family member or something to make the stay even more special or feel more like home. I provided a photo and there it was, waiting in the room. The room was very clean and modern. The bed was very comfortable, as were the sheets and pillows. The bathroom had large tile showers, including good shower heads. There was a flat screen TV, stocked mini, snack and extras bar, and IPOD stereo alarm clock. I also like the magazines about Boston, coastal living, travel, etc left on the tables. The location was perfect. Having never been there, I had no clue where everything was. A couple blocks away is the aquarium, which we visited. It was ok. I recommend getting the city pass to save money. There was a cool fruit and veggie market just down the street, as was the little Italy type (coffee shop/pastry) street. The subway station (Park St) was right outside the main doors was well. We saw a Red Sox game which is a short subway ride. There was shopping and of course 2 Starbucks very close! It is right on the Freedom trail and 2 burial/graveyards are literally right there. It is only a 5 minute walk to the Old State house and about 7 minutes to Faneuil Hall. the Faneuil hall marketplace is a must. There were so many food shops set up and little shops along the way. You could almost spend an entire day there. The best part of the location of the hotel is the 2 parks/public gardens located just across the street. The only thing this hotel did not have was a pool or hot tub but in no way affected my stay. I know this is getting long, so I'll wrap it up. This hotel and the entire staff cater to every type of person (business, family, couples, pet lovers, etc. For a first time, 2 night visitor to Boston, this hotel was perfect!!
Thank you so much Nine Zero!
