Historic architecture with a modern, minimalist spirit
History buffs appreciate both the location and original architecture of the AMES/A MORGANS ORIGINAL in the Byzantine-Romanesque Ames building. Built in 1893 as headquarters for the Ames farm equipment empire, the boutique hotel showcases mosaic tile ceilings, ornate staircases, carved marble fireplaces and dramatic arched windows. Designer David Rockwell added clean modern finishes and eye-catching decor. Now on the National Register of Historic Places, the hotel neighbors Faneuil Hall, Beacon Hill, Quincy Market, Boston Common and Boston Harbor.Ames A Morgans Original Rooms

- Luxurious King Bed. Providing a contrast of history and innovation, the Ames guest rooms exhibit an elegantly minimal and sleek framework with details that pay homage to the original 19th century design of the building.

Scattered details nod to the 19th century aesthetic of the original building such as the custom designed desk, a modern interpretation of Federal style, and the table lamp, while modern and sophisticated amenities give guests the utmost comfort, such as the white marble, walk-in shower with a luxurious rain showerhead and hand-held shower features.

Quirky, fun and zingers
The room even with an upgrade was not very big. Having the shower close to the middle of the room is strange as well. I despise hotels that leave out a bottle of water then charge you $8 for it. Overall though the hotel experience was solid if unspectacular. Woodwards downstairs is an excellent place for lunch...the crab hash is excellent.

Excellent Place to Enjoy Boston
We had a wonderful experience for a three night stay in Boston. The location is great for seeing many of the great sites of downtown Boston. It is also located right next to a subway station that allows easy access to the outskirts of town. Great service and GREAT ROOM!

Modern, efficient, wonderful location
So central. Easy walks to historic sites, north end, Boston Common. Two central metro stops within one block walk. Quiet room with great view. Loved the historic building and efficient interior. Staff was very helpful. Comfortable bed and tasteful uncluttered room but lacking in a place to put your clothes. Did not appreciate the room refrigerator filled with items for sale and accompanying snack tray. We would have liked a bureau instead. Wifi should be included for free, given the room rate, and not an extra charge.

Great for business/couples/single
Excellent room with a view. True city style with business people in the building next door looking at us/us looking at them. Clean and modern decor. Free bicycles and helmets for a few hours for us to explore the city even more. Very friendly desk staff, concierge and door staff. Very small work out room.

Not for a light sleeper-but great place!
There is a subway that runs right by the hotel (all night). If you are a light sleeper this may be a problem. Otherwise, this is a great place to be in the center of all of the history of Boston. Half a block from Quincy Market.

Sleek but Souless
we were there for a fun couples weekend. while the room is generally fine (high ceilings, modern amenities, etc.), overall we didn't feel like we got the same kind of personal care and attention that we generally expect. for example, we rolled into town thursday around 8 and had to lug our bags up the steps ourselves. Granted there were only 4 steps, but still, it would have been nice to see a doorman instead of loud music coming out of the restaurant. in terms of positives, the hotel is close to many subway lines and the staff is responsive when you call them.
