Great location, very friendly staff

Our stay at The Bulfinch was great. Right around the corner from the TD Garden, it is the perfect location for catching a concert or game. And it is well within walking distance of a lot of the signature sites in Boston ( including Quincy Market and the Boston Common/theater district). We would deffinitely stay there again!

Great for Short Business Trip

The Staff were extremely nice and helpful. The room, although small, was very clean and comfortable. Desk lighting was rather dim. There were no pens or note paper in the room and the alarm clock was on the desk and not next to the bed, so you couldn't tell what time it was unless you got out of bed. The restaurant was excellent. The location of the hotel is wonderful. I walked to all of my business and leisure activities. Because of the size of the room, I would think twice about using the hotel for an extended (more than two days) stay.

Needs updating

Stayed in Room 709. It was directly across from a soda vending machine which was extremely loud. All the furniture had significant chips and scratches, and the mattress needed replacing.

Downtown/North End in Walking Distance

Perfectly located for my work at the Science Museum. Within walking distance (even in a downpour) to the Union Oyster House @ Gov't. Center & Regina's in the North End, two of my favorite Boston eateries. Close to the "T" (North Station Green Line) from which I was able to visit MFA Boston and the new Renzo Piano wing of the Gardner Palace w/ a single LRV ride. Staff is young, friendly and competent. Dave, the chef at the Flatiron Restaurant in the hotel, creates a succulent pork chop topped off w/ aromatic truffle oil - delicious!

Boston weekend

My husband and I joined friends in Boston on Sept 21-23. We had 2 king rooms at the Bullfinch. Check in and out was friendly and quick. The staff filled my request for a high room. The rooms were small but very comfortable, including the bed. The location was great-walked everywhere. We found great bars nearby and spent the end of each evening in the hotel bar/restaurant. The staff was great and the cocktails generous. We would book here again. One suggestion that did not affect me but might be better for those who like to read in bed is brighter bulbs in the bed stand lights.

The staff did their best to accommodate us and fix the room mix up even though it wasn't there error. The executive suit was expected to cleaner than this. Coffee machine and coffee were available but no cups!!! Parking is rather expensive and inconvienent . Over all it was a good experience and I would return.

Close to TD Garden!!!!!

At first arrival our room wasn't ready and we waited 45 minutes. The manager agreed to take 20% off our bill at checkout. Because the reservation was online and prepaid it took several weeks upon return home to get my refund, although I did eventually get it. Can't beat the location if you're going to Boston for an event at the Garden!
