Boston inns

Prós: Amazing place, breakfast superb, served right outside our room, bed super comfortable, really enjoyed ourselves, if we are every back in Boston we will be booking again.

Contras: Location was fabulous

Prós: The sunrise, the fruit cups, the coffee, the decor. Very pretty place!

Prós: The view hands down. The size of the room was way overboard for two us but we enjoyed the room to spread out.

Contras: Can't think of anything!

Prós: Great location... it’s where I chose to propose!

Contras: No on site bar

Prós: The spot was beautiful! The views spectacular! I absolutely loved the location, and the amenities. The common room was equipped with a pool table and large screen television which we used. They offered board games, which we used, and every afternoon they had cookies and hot cocoa in the common room which my son took advantage of regularly. The staff was friendly and helpful, the room was spacious and clean, offering a keurig, a microwave and a mini fridge. Breakfast was included as a buffet that you can bring back to your room. It was first come first serve, but 2 members of my family are celiac, so some choices were limited depending upon what type of breakfast foods were served. The mini fridge came in handy because we were able to buy some breakfast staples from a local market and eat them in the room at the small dining table. After exploring the surrounding areas, we all agreed that we chose the best spot for lots to do and see. The hotel is the perfect location for walking to all sorts of attractions, and restaurants. If we return to Boston we would likely stay at the Boston Yacht Haven again.

Contras: Upon our arrival the first night after a long ride into the city, we were all exhausted, we were told by the check in that we could not keep our large pick up truck on site. There is a ton of parking on the wharf and we were surprised by this because the hotel was only half booked. There were 4 cars in the lot, and when I booked the reservation it stated clearly that they offered on site parking. She told us that we would have 30 minutes to unload and then she could direct us to the nearest parking garage, where they were certainly going to charge us an exorbitant fee for such a large vehicle. Apparently the hotel only has 5 allotted spots and you need to reserve them in advance. With 10 rooms on the property, 5 people are likely going to be without parking, and no where on their website does it mention this. Because it was off season, we were told we could park the next night on the property and reserve that spot for the remainder of the trip. At this time I was also told that they charge 45$ a night for parking, which also came as a surprise, however since the garages on the north end would likely charge us 60$ and up a night, I would rather pay the hotel. I was really annoyed because had I been told this back when I booked the room a month in advance I certainly would have reserved a spot. Since we were given only 30 minutes to unload, we needed to move quickly. Once we were done I came down to the front desk to get info as to where we needed to park and I was met by another gentleman who said he managed the grounds. He apologized and told us that they would make an exception for the night and they promptly charged my card for the parking. We were relived, but it was all very unprofessional.

Prós: Unique harbourside location, intimate feel, large rooms, comfortable beds, large shared lounge, close to the restaurants of the North End, plentiful breakfast buffet including fabulous hot pastries, very helpful staff, handy laundry.

Contras: Nothing, it’s a great place. We didn’t miss the facilities of a larger hotel (restaurant, bar etc.) because of the location.

Prós: Fantastic. Good breakfast. Clean large rooms. Great location.

Prós: Location was perfect!!

Prós: Centrally located ....Round the corner from the Prudential Center and only minutes walk from Boylston and Newbury Streets . It was ideal then for the Logan express bus out to the Airport for our flight home .Lovely Bed and the shower was nice too . Friendly staff too . Cosy apartment it has to be said.

Contras: We were staying in a basement apartment, found the stairs down narrow

Prós: Location was great

Prós: Location.

Contras: Air conditioner didn't work well and the room became very hot sometimes. Room cleanup was not free for more than once.

Prós: Bed was very comfortable as well as the room was cozy.

Contras: Nothing, everything was good

Prós: Friendly staff

Contras: Copley House actually runs 4 separate apartment buildings in Boston's South End. We selected them for their Newton St. location but they sent us three blocks the wrong way on a side street. In the -10F days we were there that was miserable. But the worst was that the heating in the room could not keep up with the outside temperature. Our room never warmed up above 60F, which basically ruined our romantic weekend getaway. We flagged this to management on the night of our check-in. They made one halfhearted attempt to help (at least we assume that is what the 10am knock on our door was when we were sleeping) and then they never tried to help again. A disappointing experience (this was our third weekend rental in the South End and the other two providers were much better).

Prós: The location is excellent, and the staff was very helpful. The bed was extremely comfortable.

Contras: 24 hour check-in (my flight didn't arrive until very late in the evening, so I almost missed closing time) and complimentary breakfast would have been nice, but they weren't deal breakers.

Prós: Nice room. Cute building. Very good location.

Contras: Bathroom very small and ill-supplied

Prós: Great location.

Contras: We booked a premium room and we got a substandard minimum accommodation. Bait and switch pictures of rooms at booking. Thermostat set too high-room too hot. Toilet directly in front of shower entrance, dirty light switches,dirty floors.

Prós: The location of The Copley House is great. However, I read the bad reviews before I arrived and knew what to expect. There is about 4 different locations that you can stay in, all around the same area, but some further than others. Still great locations for all.

Contras: My room, like others in the reviews, was downstairs (I believe they all are?) There is no elevator, but there's not many stairs so this was not a problem per say. The rooms are very small and it was hard to open both mine and my partner's suitcases. Also, the walls are paper thin and you can hear what is happening in the rooms nearby.

Prós: Location is Excellent! And room is comfortable!

Contras: Room was never cleaned and white bed sheets were never changed.... We call and asked if this was going to happen and their answer was that we had to ask for it and it will be an extra cost! Really?

Prós: location & decorations

Prós: Location

Contras: Pretty rundown; sheets were clean and crisp but that was the exception.

Prós: Scary

Contras: Poor

Prós: The place is near to public transport. The ambiance was good. The shower was working properly (look negatives for more info) Room size was sufficient.

Contras: No elevators make you carry your heavy bags to your room. Getting hot water from the shower was hard to figure out. I had to take a cold shower the first day.

Prós: Bare bones room. Just a bed.

Contras: Old room renovated in an old home

Prós: Friendly staff (it's family owned and operated)

Contras: It is an old inn, and in need of a good number of minor repairs, plus there are NO amenities, except wifi.

Prós: Size of the room was much larger than expected, endless hot water for long showers or baths and the overall experience was fantastic!

Contras: One of the evenings was chilly inside the room.

Prós: Sexual assault amongst sraff, and other staff trying to cover it up.

Contras: Sexual assuly, and ramdkme ppl walking in the room with no permission.

Prós: It was quiet and was in a convenient location. Free WiFi. Extremely inexpensive.

Contras: It appeared clean-ish at first glance, but if you look closely you can see that the room is filthy. The room was ugly and depressing. The toilet was stained, and to flush it, I had to hold the handle down for something like ten seconds. The doors were thin and the locks seemed disconcertingly flimsy. I got a rash on my love handles and I can’t prove it, but I think I got them from the bedsheets. This is the kind of place you get when you can’t afford anything else. It’s safe and quiet, but there is little else to recommend it.

Contras: Bed bugs

Prós: 1. Affordable 2. Reasonable close to food and events near Boston

Contras: 1. Location unclear 2. Room was hot and uncomfortable 3. Bathroom was questionable in quality

Prós: The paint peeling off the ceiling was really charming. The smell of mold and old cologne reminded me of a nursing home.

Contras: The hotel was pretty shotty all around. Clearly very little effort has been taken to keep it clean, tidy, or at all updated. It needs an overhaul and I feel as if I could get a much better deal for what I paid.

Prós: Love the area, quiet and good value.
