What a deal.

My fiancee and I chose this hotel because of a great weekend deal. There were a few reviews that concerned me about the quality of the rooms. When we arrived we received prompt service and went up to the rooms. They were beautiful! They were very comfortable and we were very satisfied. I think because of the deal we got rooms without a view. But it was cool to stay in an historical hotel in the heart of the city. The Arlington T stop was half a block from the entrance so it was very easy to get around to other parts of the city.
Overall, it was charming, great rooms and incredible location.
Would stay again

Beautiful but Uncomfortable

I have stayed in this hotel three times. Twice I booked it through a conference. It was one of only three hotels with rooms remaining. After my second stay I should have realized why it doesn't sell out more quickly.
The rooms are so hot that on each stay, in January, we had to crack the window open. Sleeping in such a warm room was virtually impossible.
On two of the stays we were woken up by a fire alarm and exited the building along with all the other guests. They were both false alarms, of course. I don't know about you, but after two fire alarms in the middle of the night, I am willing to pay $* extra per night and book a hotel not related to my conference at all.
Other than those issues, the hotel is beautiful and typically a bargain for its location.
THE place to stay in Boston!

Great Location, central to all the attractions and points of interest that we wanted to see. Most are within walking distance if your are somewhat fit.
Many restaurants, great shopping and eating/drinking establishments in the immediate area.
Staff were friendly and helpful, as well as competent!
Beds were comfortable and rooms were clean. Also very quiet.
High speed internet was $10.45 a day, would appreciate free wireless.
Had a great time and did some business too!
Will definitely stay here again on my next trip to Boston.
Will never go back

Rooms are tiny with paper thin walls. You can hear everything in the rooms next to your own and in the hallways. If a door opens or closes in your hallway you'll hear it like you were right next to it. The bathrooms are outdated. The rooms are outdated. The beds are uncomfortable and seemed smaller than what they claimed them to be.
The lobby is nice, but who care's if you can't sleep at night. The only redeeming feature of the hotel is its location. Its in the middle of everything. Newbury St, Boston Commons, the T lines, etc. Its location does not make up for its shortcomings.
