This hotel was very beautiful lobby. Room was a little small but very nicely done. Bathroom was pretty. The view was great. Would highly recommend this property to others. Great location in Downtown Boston near all the sights.
Really good trip to Boston

We took out 9 yr old grandson for a day/night in Boston. He was particularly interested in history, so the hotel's location right on the Freedom Trail was perfect. Apart from the harbor shuttle to Charlestown ($1.75 for each adult, child free), which was fantastic, we went everywhere on foot. Old Ironsides, however, was under full-scale reconstruction and not really worth the trip. Better to wait until 2011, when they are supposed to be done. But definitely get out in the harbor?even for so short a trip.
The staff at the hotel were wonderfully helpful and friendly. The room was small, but nicely appointed. The only gripes had to do with poor sound insulation and perfectly horrible pillows. All else was terrific. A high point for our grandson was ordering Boston Cream Pie from room service. Not only was room service a thrill in itself, but the BCP was unlike any we'd ever had, and vastly superior.

We noticed that this hotel has alot of history featured before arriving but being there really put it all into perspective. This is the most genuine historic exeperience of American history that we can not only learn but feel and touch first hand.
What a gem for America and Boston that is preserved for generations. We had all the comforts of a luxury hotel but a real deal with the best location to see what Boston has to offer.
We especially liked the Breakfast,Concerige Services,Beds to die for and how could we forget the Boston Creme Pie for desert which the hotel actually invented.
We enjoyed our trip to Boston and found that the Omni provided the best value and personal experience that we can remember for quite some time.
We will stay again as there is so much in Boston to see. Planning to return to see the Red sox as the hotel has a package with tickets and we look foward to seeing more.

I stayed at the Omni Parker House hotel for three nights, and it was a fabulous experience. The front desk, concierge, and bellman staff were top notch. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The hotel is located a couple of blocks from T stops, shopping and great restaurants. Very convenient location. The room was clean and comfortable. Everything about my stay was fantastic.
family trip to Boston

The location of this hotel is extremely convienent for downtown boston. The rooms were much smaller than I expected. We are a family of 4 and the room was very cramped for all of us. We had a lot of trouble using the hotel internet from the lobby. The hotel promised a rolling suitcase with games and puzzles for the kids but they could never produce it when we asked. My children are ages 10 and 7 so it wasn't such a big deal but if you stay here with kids, ask a lot of questions first.
