I recently stayed at the Omni Parker House while in Boston for a medical conference. I loved the historic value of the hotel - the lobby is stunning and Parker's bar is dark and snug, just as it was 100 years ago. The rooms are small but this is to be expected in any historic building, and it really is in the middle of everything, just a block from the T stop at Government Center. Unfortunately the facade of the hotel was covered in scaffolding which did detract from the ambiance. The staff was very courteous and helpful. However, I am glad I had a discount from the conference - my rather small, plain room normally went for $400/night which I would consider over the top - after all, you just walk through a lobby, not stay in it for any length of time. If you have the means (especially to get one of the executive suites) and want the experience, this is a great hotel. If you are on any sort of budget or wish to have large rooms with spacious bathrooms, this may not be the spot for you.
