"What a wonderful hotel! We stayed at the Omni Parker House during our trip to Boston and loved everything about it. The hotel is beautiful and historic, our room was amazing, everything was clean and comfortable, and the location was great. But what we will remember most is how kind and welcoming the staff were. Sandra, the restaurant manager, was absolutely wonderful to us, and Alejandro and Arnold at the restaurant went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. People like them really make a hotel stay special. We left Boston with such great memories, and the Omni Parker House was a big part of them. We will definitely be back!"
