Some things I would have liked: - more towels (e.g. hand towel & wash cloth); and disposable hand towels in the shared bathroom. - a fan in the bathroom (I was swetting after I finished drying my hair; I have a small fan in my own bathroom, and it really helps!) Otherwise, I enjoyed my stay; wish it could have been longer. ##### Judy Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yonina Jun 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort For us, the location was perfect as it was a five minute walk in a very safe neighborhood to our daughter's apartment. The owner was very friendly and connected well with us, explaining the door lock mechanism and inquiring about our grandkids. Our room was clean, comfortable, and bright. The room was made up each day of our stay. New towels and water bottles were provided without having to request them. Hubby's only disappointment was the lack of a TV in our room. I definitely would reserve at Ginkgo House again. ##### Yonina Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hampton Inn & Suites Boston Crosstown Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Suites-Boston-Crosstown-Center.h1071878.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Boston, a Marriott Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels-Sheraton-Boston.h22046.Hotel-Information) > > [Aloft by Marriott, Boston Seaport District](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels-Aloft-Boston-Seaport-District.h11263952.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Boston by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Boston.h116764.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Copley Place, Boston, a Marriott Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels-The-Westin-Copley-Place.h4443.Hotel-Information) > > [The Langham, Boston](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels-The-Langham.h2558.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels-Omni-Boston-Hotel-At-The-Seaport.h68014393.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Copley Plaza, Boston](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels-Fairmont-Copley-Plaza.h25981.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Parker House ](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels-Boston-Omni-Parker-House-Hotel.h23415.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points by Sheraton Boston Newton](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Boston-Newton.h10301.Hotel-Information) > > [The Revolution Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels-The-Revolution-Hotel.h30080227.Hotel-Information) > > [The Dagny Boston](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels-Hilton-Boston-DowntownFaneuil-Hall.h151201.Hotel-Information) > > [citizenM Boston North Station](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels-CitizenM-Boston-North-Station.h33870542.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Boston - Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Boston-Downtown.h470888.Hotel-Information) > > [Boston Marriott Copley Place](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels-Boston-Marriott-Copley-Place.h22961.Hotel-Information) > > [Harborside Inn Of Boston](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels-Harborside-Inn-Of-Boston.h202814.Hotel-Information) > > [Boston Marriott Long Wharf](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels-Boston-Marriott-Long-Wharf.h7256.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Boston Back Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels-Hilton-Boston-Back-Bay.h5928.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Boston/Seaport District](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-BostonSeaport-District.h46521349.Hotel-Information) > > [Moxy Boston Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels-Moxy-Boston-Downtown.h38766175.Hotel-Information) > > [YOTEL Boston](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels-YOTEL-Boston.h18090311.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Boston - Cambridge Area by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Boston-Bunker-Hill-Area.h7370.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Boston Park Plaza](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels-Boston-Park-Plaza.h4215.Hotel-Information) > > [The Godfrey Hotel Boston](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels-The-Godfrey-Hotel-Boston.h10118614.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Boston Downtown/North Station](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Boston-DowntownNorth-Station.h21599814.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn Boston Seaport District](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Boston-Seaport.h55421972.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Boston by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels-InterContinental-Boston.h1573788.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Boston Seaport District](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels-The-Westin-Boston-Seaport-District.h1450057.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Boston](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Boston.h17845.Hotel-Information)
