10/10 Excellent

"The property was great, so clean, friendly the restaurant not so good"

Omni Parker House

10/10 Excellent

"Definitely an Excellent Location and with the History it provides it will make your stay special. Recently updated very nicely! Room was quite spacious and even with the bathroom being very nicely update, it was a little cramped... Service was Impeccable! The Bar is a must see along with the food they serve is Excellent! Mornings, (anytime), visit the lower level for fresh coffee and pastries as well as a full store for everything else you may need!"

The Midtown Hotel MOD Collection by Sonesta

8/10 Good

"I've walked/driven by this hotel numerous times but this was my first stay. It's convenient to everything (we were going to a night game at Fenway) and the rooms are very large and comfortable. Great a/c and the hallways were quiet all night long and they were completely full. Staff was friendly and helpful. Parking was easy and great that it's literally right outside the back entrance. Price was very good for an expensive city like Boston. I would definitely recommend staying here."

Lark Hotels 907 Main

8/10 Good

"Very good location and restaurants in the hotel. I only ate in the one located on the main floor and it was really good. Room itself was super small, but definitely clean and comfortable. Downsides are that the lobby is tiny and there’s no gym. But it’s a great place even without all that! I would happily stay there again."
