Onyx Boston

This is a cozy hotel just off the main thoroughfares near Faneuil Hall, Government Center, and the North End. There is a T stop (subway) right around the corner, so you can get anywhere in Boston easily. The hotel bar was cozy and offered good wines. (We did not eat there, so I cannot comment on the food.) The room was clean and modern. Small by some standards, but a very good size room for Boston. I would definitely stay here again next time I am in Boston.

Another good hotel room although

Another good hotel room although a little cramped for space. It was nicely furnished and felt very comfortable. We would rate this one at about 4.3 out of 5 points.

Close to it all!

Nice hotel, but small rooms which were clean, but hard to move around in. Expensive parking. Only valet option for $40 for 24 hours. Great location. Just a couple of blocks to the Market and Faneuil Hall.
