9.8/10
We had a wonderful stay at the hotel, with spotlessly clean rooms and a very accommodating staff who made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The location was fantastic, just blocks away from shopping on Newbury Street and a short walk to the T, making it easy to explore the city. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and we especially appreciated the thoughtful touch of the dim under-the-counter bathroom light for those late-night trips.

We loved the hotel's fantastic location right next to the Back Bay station, which made our transportation a breeze after arriving via Amtrak. The staff was exceptionally responsive, and we appreciated the cleanliness of our spacious room. The communal coffee machine was a delightful perk, and the valet service was incredibly helpful, allowing us to drop off our luggage early.
