“great find in Boston”

The College Club was the only hotel in central Boston with a room available when we booked rather late for Labor Day weekend. To our surprise it was clean, the room extra large and airy, with a distinct New England atmosphere, the king-size bed very comfortable, reception a bit casual but efficient, breakfast (included in the price) adequate. Once the code to enter after hours was sorted out after a quick phone call, we found the hotel to be just what we wanted, with easy access on foot to restaurants and cafes, shops, Boston Common, Beacon Hill. We would return there any time.

“Great location, very affordable option”

I was looking for an affordable room in a good neighborhood and stumbled on this very quaint, comfy bed and breakfast right down the street from the Public Gardens! Unfortunately I arrived late at night, but I would come back in a minute to enjoy nicely furnished accommodations, walkable to the T, Newbury Street, great dining and historic sites!

“Beautiful, historical property, in unbeatable location”

I loved my stay here. It's not really a hotel, and not really a B&B -- it's a serene, beautiful old house in a great neighborhood, where you can rent a spacious, antiques-furnished room and get an authentic taste of how the upper-crust lived in 19th-century Boston. It's clearly not for everyone, but if fitness rooms, lobby bars, chocolates on the pillow, etc. aren't important to you, I'd give it a try.

“Great hotel but no TV”

Very nice hotel, great price and great location. Only downside is that there was no TV in the room...

“very good location”

Very good location. Hotel is nice and charming. But the staff was not very welcoming and not very helpful. Lady from the front desk was very rude to me. The breakfast room was not cleaned enough quickly between two guests, I had to clean my table.

“Suprises at the City Club of Boston”

The City Club of Boston is located in a mdi-block Italianate style townhouse on Commonwealth Avenue, the most prestigious aveneu in Back Bay of Boston. The building has seen better days and, as they say, has the patina of age, including peeling paint in the small interior lightwell in the center of the house. Beware that the B&B manager leaves at 6:30 p.m. and leaves your key in an envleope on the front table which, of course, is inaccessible because of the locked front door should you perchance arrive after 6:30. Beware also that the continental breakfast does not commence until 7:45 a.m. which, if you must be up and about before then, leaves you withou breakfast. Also, there were no cookies in the evening when I arrived. My room was the smallest in the house on the top floor facing the alley. Its location, fortunately, was quieter than the better rooms facing the avenue. Although it was small, it was relatively clean. Unfortunately, the window shutters were rendered inoperable because of a modern draper rod. The result was morning light coming through the translucent blinds, which is not conducive to prolonged slumber. The bed was twin-sized, which posed a challenge as I am 6'-4" tall. The hall bathroom was nicely renovated and was clean, with a curious casement window opening into a rather seedy lightwell. The bathroom was clean with an excellent shower having a showerhead high in the wall, providing an excellent flow of water over my head.

“Aside from check-in drama, fabulous!”

The hotel is lovely. I had a single room with a share bathroom. I was sharing with only one other person, so it was not a big problem. We only clashed once! The bedroom and bathroom were both beautifully appointed and the whole hotel gives a very homely, cozy feel. It is well-serviced, rooms are clean and well-kept. Breakfast is available everyday from 7.45, although if you need to eat earlier you can access food before then. Snacks, tea and coffee are available around the clock. The food is good. The hotel is extremely well-located and has affordable rates for its location. Aside from the check-in hassle, it was an extremely pleasant stay and I would go back in a heartbeat. In fact, I intend to make it my hotel of preference any time I am in Boston.

“Quaint B&B”

If you're expecting a "hotel", you'll be disappointed. If you're expecting a quaint B&B you'll find this multi-women's-college alumni clubhouse a great deal and great place to stay. It's been recently renovated, but still has the old-money genteel feel you expect from its genre. There are only 11 rooms (either doubles with ensuite baths or singles with shared baths). I took the latter, which was small, but comfortable enough for my business trip. The room was well-cooled even though Boston was in the grip of an oppressive heatwave. Downstairs, there is a common room with breakfast (and afternoon/evening cookies, tea, and coffee). It's only a block from the public gardens if you fancy taking a spin on the duck boats. All in all, I'd happily stay there again if traveling alone.

“A Boston pearl!”

Very nice and cozy little hotel/B&B situated in a central location next to Boston Common. 2 minutes walk to the subway station and Newbury Street. I stayed at the Vassar room in 4th. floor, with a lovely interior and a magnificent wiev to Commonwealth Ave. A big double room with a very nice bath. Free coffee and homemade cookies available all day and complementary breakfast. I want to invite my husband back with me for our next US visit!! I was "ashstuck" in the US after the Iceland vulcanic eruption and very concerned about my stay and fligths out from Boston. A very helpfull manager saved my day when my plane got cancelled AGAIN. Tahnks a lot.
