Good Location
The hotel was in a good location. It wasn't central but everything was within walking distance including the subways (2 lines) and historical sights. The hotel was quiet although the doors did not buffer hall noise and lower floors (below the fourth) may hear music and talking from the outside seating. The hotel was clean, but the curtains seemed to be dusty. The hypoallergenic bedding options were limited and less than adequate. Overall, though, the hotel was clean and comfortable.

Jury Doyles
Classy, yet unpretentious, Very friendly accommodating staff. Great food and excellent service. Looking forward to staying at the Jurys Doyle again. No better place to stay in Boston. Centrally located in the business center in the Back Bay historic district of Boston. Surrounded by excellent restaurants, shops, lots of pubs. Would go back in a heartbeat.

Dude, where is my bag?
Staff was very helpful, throughout. The one scare was, we arrived before checkin and the doorman told us he would be happy to hold our bags. Later at checkin the bags were MIA, but the staff bent over backwords to find them and 10 minutes later they were found. The room was a little small but very comfortable. Overall a nice place to stay.

Wonderful hotel and staff
The Jurys Boston is a wonderful hotel. The rooms were a nice size. The staff was also wonderful. Anything thing you needed, they were there help and very pleasant and professional. Hotel and rooms were very clean and the location fine since Boston is a walking city. A subway stop is two blocks from hotel. There are many restaurants within six blocks of the hotel. I had called ahead and spoke, asking if he could order flowers for the rooms as we were in Boston to cerbrate birthdays. They were in the rooms when we arrived and were beautiful. Again, I was not disappointed with my stay.

Great for business or vacationing
The Jurys Boston Hotel was more than expected. The hotel was clean and very up to date with amenities. The room was fabulous. The decor and space was done in very good taste. I did have an issue with the gym, I felt that the equipment could have been updated and more space should have been thought about for the numerous guests that would frequent it. That area is more only concern. As for the restaurant, they were short staffed for breakfast, therefore was not able to return to taste their food. When you are in a rush it is hard to wait.
