Stephen welcomed us with such warmth at this stunning brownstone, perfectly located in Boston. We walked everywhere we wanted to go—no need for taxis or public transit. Back Bay is quiet and charming, with fantastic restaurants just steps away. Breakfast at Charlie’s was absolutely delicious—worth the trip alone! The city was full of chic holiday spirit during our visit, making it even more magical. Clarendon Square offered elegant comfort, a peaceful night's sleep, thoughtful treats, and Stephen’s attentive hospitality made all the difference. It truly felt like coming home. I’d recommend this place without hesitation—and I’ll definitely be back. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

Staying at the Sheraton Boston Hotel for Thanksgiving was an absolute delight! The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of downtown with direct access to three shopping malls, so we could stroll around comfortably without needing heavy coats. There are plenty of quick dining options nearby, and I especially loved the Italian grocery store—slightly pricey but worth every penny for the quality of food. Our upgraded high-floor room was beautifully renovated: a spacious king bed plus a sofa bed that easily converts into a queen-sized sleeping area, perfect for our family of four. Housekeeping was consistently attentive and proactive, and what really stood out was the daily complimentary water—two bottles every day, sometimes even more. That kind of thoughtful touch is rare in U.S. hotels. We’ll definitely be back next Thanksgiving!

This was our second stay at this hotel, and it was just as wonderful as the first. We brought our child along, and they had a peaceful, happy time exploring the quiet, well-maintained rooms and common areas. The staff were consistently friendly and attentive—every interaction felt personal and genuine. From check-in to room service, everything ran smoothly. The location is excellent: close to public transit, making it easy to explore downtown Boston and nearby attractions without hassle. The ambiance is calm and elegant, perfect for families or anyone seeking a relaxing retreat. With such high standards in comfort, cleanliness, and hospitality, this place truly stands out. We’ll definitely be back.

I’ll admit I was a bit nervous when I saw the other reviews on this site after booking—it was a last-minute decision, so I just crossed my fingers and hoped for the best. The automated emails felt a little impersonal at first, and I worried whether someone was actually on the ground. But every time I reached out with a question, I got a quick and friendly response, which put me at ease. Once inside, everything was spotless and beautifully kept—so much better than I expected. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the room, though compact, was exactly what we needed for a cozy stay. The front door was a bit stiff and required a firm pull to open, but that’s a minor detail. Our housekeeper was genuinely warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. I didn’t notice any thin walls since there were no other guests around during our visit. Overall, this place is perfect for a solo traveler or couple looking for a quiet, clean, and convenient base while exploring Boston. It’s not about luxury—it’s about comfort, value, and peace of mind. I’d absolutely recommend it if you’re looking for a reliable short-term stay without the hassle.

The location is decent, but getting in touch with the property was nearly impossible. I sent multiple emails and made several calls, but received absolutely no response—no confirmation, no updates, nothing. Several reviews already mentioned issues accessing the room, which makes the lack of communication even more concerning. There’s no on-site management, yet they claim to respond promptly. That promise rings hollow when you’re left waiting indefinitely just to book a room. It’s hard not to wonder if they’re still in business at all. If this is how guest service works, it’s a major red flag for anyone considering staying here.

Staying at No. 284 Back Bay Hotel by Sonder was a great experience overall, especially because of the unbeatable location right across from the green parkway—waking up to that view every morning was peaceful and refreshing. The room itself is clean, modern, and well-designed with plenty of space and good privacy; you really feel like you have your own little sanctuary without any unwanted interruptions. That said, there’s no housekeeping service during your stay—no daily cleaning or trash removal—so you’ll need to take care of those things yourself, which might be a bit unexpected if you're used to full-service hotels. Still, for travelers who value independence and minimal interference, this can actually be a plus. It's perfect for solo trips, business stays, or anyone wanting a quiet, self-managed base in the heart of Boston. Public transit is super convenient—just a short walk to the subway—and there are plenty of cafes, restaurants, and shops nearby. All in all, it’s a solid choice if you’re looking for comfort, convenience, and a touch of local charm without the extra frills.

Staying at Maverick Suites at 28 Fenway was an absolute highlight of my trip to Boston. The suite was spotless, well-maintained, and had all the essentials for a comfortable stay. What really stood out was the location—Fenway Park and Newbury Street are just steps away, making it incredibly easy to explore shops, restaurants, and local attractions on foot. I loved wandering down Newbury Street in the evening, and there were plenty of great takeout options nearby that delivered fast and tasted delicious. Public transit is also super convenient—just a short walk to the subway. This place offers unbeatable value and a prime neighborhood vibe. Definitely one of the best spots in Boston for travelers who want comfort, convenience, and character.

Staying at Maverick Suites at 245 Newbury St was a fantastic experience. The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of Boston, steps away from shops, restaurants, and public transit. Walking around the neighborhood felt lively and safe, and the building itself has a cool, modern vibe that made it feel like home. The staff were responsive and friendly, especially when I had quick questions over the phone—they always got back to me fast. Parking wasn’t an issue either—since street meters are affordable and parking garages were just a few blocks away, I didn’t have to stress about finding a spot. One small note: the bathroom could be more practical. There’s very little space to place personal items, and the sink feels more artistic than functional with its angled design. But honestly, that’s a tiny detail compared to everything else. The room was spacious, stylish, and well-maintained. For the price and location, this is a top-tier choice. I’d definitely stay here again.

Staying at Temple Place Suites was a delightful surprise—my first time in a shared bunk-style room, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The location is unbeatable: right next to Boston Common, just steps from the subway, making it super easy to reach Harvard and MIT in just a few stops. A short walk takes you into downtown Boston, and even closer to Quincy Market for some great food and shopping. Though we shared a bathroom, it was surprisingly clean—everyone seemed to respect the space and keep it tidy. There’s a nice sense of community too; people actually greet each other, which makes the vibe feel warm and welcoming. It’s not just convenient—it’s a smart, affordable choice with a real local charm. I’d absolutely stay here again if I’m back in Boston.

Staying at Sonder Pierce Boston Apartments in Fenway was an absolute delight. The location is unbeatable—just steps away from major attractions and public transit, making exploration a breeze. The apartment itself is spacious and well-equipped, with a fully functional kitchen that made preparing meals simple and enjoyable. The staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable—they were friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful. From check-in to checkout, every interaction felt personal and warm. I’d choose this place again without hesitation if I ever return to Boston. Highly recommend for travelers who value comfort, convenience, and great service.

Staying at Meco Hotel was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to downtown Boston and within easy reach of local amenities, including a grocery store just a 5-10 minute stroll away. The room itself is compact but well-designed, with clean lines and thoughtful touches that make it feel cozy and welcoming. The bathroom is on the smaller side, but perfectly functional and spotless. What truly stood out was the front desk staff—friendly, efficient, and genuinely helpful with any request. They made the entire stay feel personal and stress-free. While there’s no kitchen, it’s not an issue for travelers looking for a convenient base rather than a home-away-from-home setup. Overall, this is a top-tier option in Boston with excellent value and a warm, professional atmosphere.

Absolutely loved our stay at this fantastic property! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to downtown Boston and surrounded by great dining, shopping, and local charm. The room was spacious, stylishly decorated, and incredibly comfortable. We received check-in details well in advance, which made the whole process stress-free—especially helpful for international travelers. One thing to note: there’s no elevator, so if you’re carrying luggage or have mobility concerns, be prepared to climb a few flights of stairs. That said, the experience was still outstanding. From the welcoming vibe to the excellent value, I’d definitely come back again.
