Omni Parker House

10/10 Excellent

"The Omni Parker is a historic hotel with a unique history. It’s beautiful and clean. The location is perfect for visiting the Freedom Trail on foot. We were within walking distance of Little Italy, the Underground Railroad tour and the WWII Ducks tour of Boston. There’s great shopping, restaurants, parks, coffee shops, and access to the subway all within walking distance of the hotel. It’s a beautiful section of Boston. We took an Uber from the airport to the hotel since we arrived after 1:30 am but took the subway back to the airport after checking out of the hotel. The Uber ride was only about 15 minutes. The hotel held our luggage for a couple hours after we checked out so we could explore before heading to the airport. I highly recommend the Omni Parker and a fun trip to Boston!!"

Boston Marriott Copley Place

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed how central this hotel was to all that you may need in the Boston area as a traveler. We easily took the train from the airport and didn't even need to go outside to check into the hotel. The only downside of our stay was that we woke up one morning with a bug crawling on one of the pillows. We approached the staff at the front desk about this and were immediately dismissed, being told "At least it's not a bedbug". As a Bonvoy member, I would have expected more out of the staff to at least apologize for this."

Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport

6/10 Okay

"Very disappointed in the aesthetics of the room in the artist tower. It felt awful waking up in the morning and looking at a concrete ceiling that looked unfinished. And also the corner pillars that were concrete and unfinished.There was no luggage rack to put your suitcase on and no closets. It felt like you were in an unfinished room. Most hotels allow you to use their steam & sauna rooms without an extra charge. The staff was very courteous and excellent, and the cleanliness of the place was good. You should warn people before they book of the unfinished look of the room. I never would have book there. Our older children booked though you but we're in the other tower and their room were nice ."

The Royal Sonesta Boston

10/10 Excellent

"Property was clean and well laid out. BEAUTIFUL VIEWS of the river and the city. Front desk staff, especially the later night crew was extremely helpful. Nice restaurant choices. So convenient to Mass General Hospital which made it easier for my family. The only thing lacking is a proper business center…. Like in its own room with desks and places to sit."
