"A lovely boutique hotel in a charming area. Walk to unique shops, excellent restaurants, Boston Garden, Newbury Street and Boylston Street. The room was on the small side. Friendly, helpful staff and nice Bistro. The underground parking garage wasn't too far away.2018-02-13"

"Convenient to Copley Square. The hotel was old and tired, and needed basic maintenance and fresh paint. The bathroom caulking had mold. The lobby had old-world charm, but was dimly lit. The carpet was quite worn in many places. The elevators smelled bad. Basic continental breakfast provided.2015-06-12"

Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
