Posting a warning to others so that you can not make the same mistake. This is a nice hotel with comfortable rooms and easy parking in Boston. I have stayed here a number of times and my company has held several events here.
I made a reservation for an event a few months ago, which I ended up not attending. I forgot to cancel the reservation and only recalled when I got a bill today.
Yes, I am aware that this was totally my mistake and the hotel was following policy by charging me for no show; however the warning is that the hotel does not send you a single reminder on your reservation. I'm lifetime titanium and gold with two other brands and have thousands of night in hotels for the last 20 years as a business traveler. I have never forgotten to cancel a reservation before this. It is standard in every other hotel chain to send reminders about upcoming stays and check ins, multiple times so it's hard to miss. I didn't get a single email since I made the reservation two months ago. Don't be like me and forget you booked this hotel!

Great location. We had a great stay here, the staff were all very friendly and accommodating, valet parking was easy, and getting my vehicle at the end of the stay easy as well. I forgot to pack contact solution and the desk was happy to provide a travel sized bottle complimentary. My only complaint is that the same dishes from other’s room service sat in the hallway for multiple days without being cleaned up. Other guests were also quite loud in the hallway at all hours, so not very much noise dampening.

Great stay - the location is perfect, and the room was excellent. We were on the 10th floor, where it was very quiet except for the occasional siren. Overall I would highly recommend for a stay in Boston!

Stayed in over 20 properties along the northeast Coast over the past 6 weeks and maybe 30 Boston locations the past 10 years. This is by far not only Boston's best hotel but perhaps the top hotel in the northEast Coast area. While an upgrade would have been nice, surprised it wasn't granted having the highest status, the room itself was amazing and comfortable. Smart TV, shower and jacuzzi, most comfortable pillow and cushion mattress. The lounge stood out, well stocked full dinner and premium liquor unlimited, breakfast was 5-star, and the staff was amazing. You can walk to all nightlife and main points. The gym was large and state-of-the-art. This hotel is top tier. 🤩🏨✨ #Hotel #Luxury #Travel #Boston #EastCoast #Experience #Review #Comfort #Amenities #Service #Nightlife #Gym
