We love the Kimpton Hotels and, while this was not our favorite, it is a very nice little hotel. The rooms are on the small side. On the plus side, the location is quiet but is within convenient walking distance to all the major downtown attractions. The staff, as always for Kimpton, was very helpful and friendly. The beds at Kimpton hotels are INCREDIBLY comfortable, so much so that people often buy the mattresses from the company who supplies them, and my bed was no exception. The sheets are always Frette and so nice to settle in to. The evening wine reception featuring different types of wines each month is something I always look forward to at Kimpton properties. I was disappointed to arrive in the early evening, exhausted after traveling from Paris to Newark and then to Boston, and get no help lugging my two bulky bags in the door and to the desk even though two employees with no other clients stood behind the desk and watched me. Not exactly the welcome I've come to look forward to for this particular company. That and the very small room are my only issue. BUT I still plan to stay there again next time I am in Boston because it's such a welcoming atmosphere and (with the exception of my arrival which I think must be an anomaly) it is one of the most welcoming hotels I've ever stayed in. I would say for the price it's a very good bargain.
