Affordable for a classy hotel
I liked staying at this hotel. The only downside is that I didn't get a view of the city and the thermostat was noisy and it was hard to sleep through the night.

Surveying at Request
All good
Lovely. Everyone was very friendly, personable yet non-intrusive. The bar below is a bit odd: a seemingly local bar, but very small. The place where adults go who don't like bars, but have no desire for "scene" restaurant/bars or the work required at lounges. Food leaves a bit to be desired.

absolutely fabulous and relaxing
This hotel is in a convienient location...super close to Newberry street for shopping or a short walk out to the north end for some fabulous Italian cuisine and pastries. The lobby has beautiful works of art to enjoy. The room itself was wonderful, spacious and felt like a home away from home. Actually...better than home! All of the staff- front desk, door men, house-keepers ect...couldnt have been more helpful and friendly. I ordered room service at 2AM and it was delivered by a cheerful waiter...even at 2AM! The 24 hr business cntr was a life saver. The room was beautiful, housekeeping kept it immaculate and well stocked with water, extra towels and Korres bathroom products(I also loved the bathrobes). My only dislike is that you could hear almost every thing that went on in the hallway...neighbors coming and going ect...and that the garbage trucks seem very loud at about 8 AM. Its definitely not a sound proof hotel. I loved my stay at the Back Bay and look forward to visiting all of the other Doyle Collection Hotels!

Convenient location and very nice rooms
Consierge was very helpful. Restaurant downstairs was very yummy. No coffee machine in the room, which was annoying.
