It smelt like sewage really bad. We did not feel clean at all and the room was small and lacked amenities. Overall would not return and were upset with the quality of our stay for the price we paid. The sewage issue needs to be taken care of asap. The one positive is the location. Excellent location for walking. Parking is difficult but there are plenty of nearby garages if you’re willing to pay!

This property charged be a steep fee for “evidence of smoking”. Neither my husband nor I are smokers, not to mention the fact I am 20 weeks pregnant and was traveling with a 1 year old. When I asked to see the evidence they said the matter was not up for debate. They have not returned any of communications but quickly charged my card.

We had a fantastic stay here. The bed was super comfortable and the room was very nice. We also appreciated the library and outdoor space. The location is fantastic - on a quieter road right next to loads of Back Bay shops and restaurants. We will certainly be staying here again next time we’re in Boston!

Great location! Nice property in a fantastic area, but my room on the first floor had an unpleasant, musty smell and dust in the corners of the ceiling that made it feel not so clean. I would probably not stay here again unless there were no other nearby options or the price was much lower.

This was our first time to Boston - my wife and I. In researching where to stay, Back Bay was maybe the 3rd or 4th neighborhood on our list. However, due to limited availability during the holiday week we found this property and decided to book. After now having explored all of Boston for a week, we’re so happy we found this place. Back Bay was the perfect location. Walking distance to major museums, Fenway, Freedom Trail, MIT campus (where we watched fireworks). Newbury St. (one street behind the hotel) is lined with restaurants and cafes. There’s even a CVS and a Trader Joe’s <5mins away (walking) if you like to stock up on snacks/drinks for the room like we do. Very safe, tree-lined walkway in front of the building that leads all the way to downtown. Couldn’t have been happier with the location. As for the property itself: we found it to be clean, comfy and charming. There’s a 24/7 chat and the hotel’s team is very responsive. Negatives? The Queen Master suite is a bit cramped for space, but the location in Back Bay was well worth the trade off. We gave the hotel 5 of 5 stars because it was a perfect home base for a great first trip to Boston.

Loved that it was close to everything and easy to check in and out. Also loved the quietness inside the apartment and comfy at home feeling. It was a great mix of old and new amenities and decor. Parking was a little difficult at first but best thing to do if you have a car is to park at the garage on Dalton street for 24 hour parking. Wish that was communicated more instead of us having to research it. But overall, loved the apartment and would stay here again.

It was what we needed when my daughter had to visit Boston University. It was superclose to Newbury St. Food and shopping nearby. The train station was also close by. Neighborhood was quiet and safe. Check in and check out was easy. If you just want a place to stay without any frills and fancy this is for you. There is a locker by lobby for storage if you need to leave stuff, 1st come 1st served.

Location, location and location! The best location. The only cons were the hallway carpets were very dirty and the recycle/ trash trucks were coming every early morning to the alley to pick up the trash/ recyclables and it was so loud, even closed windows were not helping.

The entry process needs to be revamped. I had to wait over an hour to get my access code worked out because the website was not working, and there was a woman behind me that had the same issue and had to sit in the lobby for three hours trying to figure out her code number for her door. It’s a terrible system, and it needs to be redesigned, otherwise the entire place was lovely.
