Copley Square Hotel, a FOUND Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful, historical property close to the Boston Public Library and Newbury Street. "

Hyatt Regency Boston/Cambridge

"We had a situation during our first day as our room has deficient AC. Ms. Dámelis Marmolejos did a great job and sober very quickly the situation, she was very diligent and problem solver. We highly appreciated her effort doing her best to solve it. Hyatt is very lucky to have Damelis in its staff. Thanks"

Harborside Inn Of Boston

"A nice hotel with super friendly staff. The rooms were fairly spacious, with a huge comfortable bed, and lots of pillows. The bathroom wasn't particularly big, but the shower was good and there was plenty of fresh towels every day. When you left the hotel each day, you let reception know that your room was now ready for housekeeping! What a great idea! No cleaners knocking on the door until you were ready for them. Good location near the waterfront, so only a couple of minutes walk for the Old Town Trolley, Boat crusies and anything in the harbour. Definitely recommend a stay here if you're visiting Boston for a few days."

Hilton Boston Park Plaza

"The location was right in the middle of the city which made it accessible on foot to walk everywhere I wanted to go, it also helped that I did not have to drive to get anywhere since Boston has the worse drivers that is a benefit. Also loved the lobby and the health club. Bathroom was a little small but that is not that big of a deal. "
