Great location for a family tour

Easy walk, even with a young child, to Boston Common, Beacon Hill, Faneuil Hall. Hotel staff is friendly and helpful. Our room was tiny. Long walk, including a small set of stairs, between room and elevator. Good gym.

Great Hotel, Great Value.

This was a great value in downtown Boston. I can't believe how great the service was. Rooms were a tad on the small side but that is to be expected in a big city hotel. It is right on the freedom trail and in walking distance of most of Boston's attractions.

Walk down the freedom trail from the front of the Hotel, then for cheaper food check out Quincy Market, or for GREAT Italian food go into the North End down Hanover Street.

August Trip to Boston

The hotel is really really nice. Deff. recommended, however my friend and I got a 2 bed room and it was sooo small that we really didn't have any place to put our suitcases except on the floor right at the door which made it difficult getting in and out. The bathroom also was really small. At the sink you couldn't even do elbow to elbow against the wall because it wasn't wide enough. For one person this room might have been ok for but I have stayed in a one bedroom here also and it was alot bigger than this room was, the bathroom everything, maybe thats what happens when they take out a bed but to me the room and bathroom was deffinitly alot bigger with one bed then it was with two.

Fantastic and classy stay

Hotel is obviously historic and plays into that role well. Although the hotel itself is old, it's been kept up very well. Rooms were small but well furnished and absolutely spotless. Quiet on each floor and accessible to many Boston attractions as well as public transportation. This stay was one of the best experiences we've ever had in hotel accommodations. Would definitely recommend it to friends and family.
