Want to explore Boston while staying in an authentic Brownstone? This is your place. The property is located on Newbury Street. The food choices are endless no matter what your dietary needs/likes are. Shopping? the shops on Newbury are an experience in themselves but the property is directly across from the Prudential Center. Free parks, museums and colleges are also within walking distance. Public transit is abundant. The staff was beyond kind, informative and helpful. The space/lobby was comfortable and truly a place to enjoy the evening watching the city go by. The variety of free beverages offered makes up for the lack of a coffee maker- in room. There is an elevator, but the stairs if you take them, are original. They slant slightly which can be disorienting when navigating to the third floor. The parking was cheap for the city and worth it. The doors in the rooms don’t have a second latch, that and the doors to the outside not being locked made it feel a little unsafe. The views of Newbury Street and the Boston Sklyline made up for that. The staff went above beyond to make my stay as comfortable as possible. Highly recommend this stay.

This was a lovely place for a Boston getaway. It was clean, very comfortable, and great service from the staff. No breakfast, but excellent coffee available right downstairs. Plenty of dining and shopping options just a short walk down Newbury street.

We had a lovely stay here over Christmas. The rooms were so quaint and cozy. The beds super comfortable. Newbury Street was so beautiful it felt like a fairy tale. I especially loved the proximity to the Boston Common park area. The location was really perfect. We walked everywhere. Trying to go back again in the Spring…

An Accommodating Weekend

I made it to town early in the morning and was expecting to just drop of my bag and await check-in. Upon my arrival I was greetly from the friendly front desk worker and told my room was available and I would be able to get in early. I was very happy to be able to head upstairs and rest in a cute and clean room. The property provides a Boston charm while being in the midst of a busy shopping area. It was an easy area to grab a coffee in the morning and a drink in the evening while still having easy access to central downtown. The elevators were down at the time which for me was not an issue but the front desk was more than willing to help those who needed assistance getting their things to and from their rooms. Would definitely stay here again.
