The Marriott was very clean and a great experience. Staff was kind and extremely supportive and helpful I would recommend this hotel to anyone who visits Boston.

Once you stay at a Mandarin Oriental, you'll find it hard to go back. Rooms and bathrooms are excellent. Housekeeping service twice a day. In the evening they prepare the bed for sleeping, put down a bath mat on the carpet and slippers. Set the room lights down; empty the trash cans; fill the stainless steel ice bucket; refold the leading edge of the toilet paper into a convenient triangle (really!); replace the towels, glasses, turn on the TV, etc. Lots of electronic controls.

An extra flat sheet should be in the room for when the couch is used as a bed. The couch was stained in the fabric needed to be cleaned. Otherwise, the bathroom and full kitchen were impressive and appreciated. The blackout curtains were great and the gas fireplace was fabulous! The location was amazing. I’ll stay at the Inn at St Botolph for all my trips.

Great location by the Pru. Well-maintained property with very clean, well designed and comfortable rooms. An unpretentious high-end hotel at a human scale. Only disappointment is the restaurant, and especially the buffet breakfast, which is primitive for the price.

Nice little boutique hotel. Small room is trade off for being super close to Boston Common, tons of restaurants, and river trails. 20 minute walk to Fenway was big plus. On foot was best way to get there.

We found the Property to be quiet. We did not like the fact they want to make a copy at 10:01 AM saying we close at 10 AM. Other than that the staff was polite and kind

The accommodations were very comfortable and exactly what I hoped for. Staff was welcoming and friendly. Hotel was conveniently located near all the Back Bay experiences we were in town for. Thank you for a wonderful memory of Boston!

Boston Children's Museum will provide you with an unforgettable museum to discover. There are plenty of hotels to choose from just a few minutes away. The Evolve East Boston and Boston Yacht Haven Inn & Marina are excellent options. New England Aquarium is a pleasant experience for guests of all ages. Offering a mix of educational exhibits, fun and an up-close-and-personal view of its fascinating inhabitants, you'll gain a new appreciation for our remarkable aquatic world. Accommodation options to check out close to here are the Herbivorian House and Archstone Modernity by Vacasa.
Follow the smell of coffee to Starbucks, a well-known Back Bay diner where you can take some time out. If you prefer something more filling, pull up a chair and try out a meal at Dirty Water Dough Company. As the sun starts to set, start a lively evening with a few drinks with the locals at Piattini.
