"Nice place to live (self catering type) but a slop hill of about 25m to walk through if on foot. With 7 day pass, it is easy to travel to Boston city about 40mins. Nearby, get restaurants and 7-11. It is a good place (cost effective) to stay for my Boston marathon and walk around Boston. "

Omni Parker House

Omni Parker House

8/10 Good
"Nice staff, nowhere for guests to drink after bar closing , was told would have to take drink to room, I would of expected an area to sit elsewhere. Generally very nice, unfortunately our room didn’t have a view other than looking into apartments ( can’t do anything about that. Very central for walking and transport to many sights. Short distance to public transport. The complimentary free drink was for 1 drink and not one each ( there was 2 of us in the room), that was terrible and was poor for guest relations. We stayed 11 nights so would of expected more from the Omni Parker. However overall a nice experience."
