Once you stay at a Mandarin Oriental, you'll find it hard to go back. Rooms and bathrooms are excellent. Housekeeping service twice a day. In the evening they prepare the bed for sleeping, put down a bath mat on the carpet and slippers. Set the room lights down; empty the trash cans; fill the stainless steel ice bucket; refold the leading edge of the toilet paper into a convenient triangle (really!); replace the towels, glasses, turn on the TV, etc. Lots of electronic controls. Two phones...

Great location by the Pru. Well-maintained property with very clean, well designed and comfortable rooms. An unpretentious high-end hotel at a human scale. Only disappointment is the restaurant, and especially the buffet breakfast, which is primitive for the price.

An extra flat sheet should be in the room for when the couch is used as a bed. The couch was stained in the fabric needed to be cleaned. Otherwise, the bathroom and full kitchen were impressive and appreciated. The blackout curtains were great and the gas fireplace was fabulous! The location was amazing. I’ll stay at the Inn at St Botolph for all my trips.

Nice little boutique hotel. Small room is trade off for being super close to Boston Common, tons of restaurants, and river trails. 20 minute walk to Fenway was big plus. On foot was best way to get there.

My boyfriend and I stayed for Valentine’s Day and upon arriving we were greeted with kindness and 2 glasses of champagne! Check in was perfect. The room was perfect. Definitely one of my favorite hotels for sure. We also ate at my favorite restaurant right 10 steps across the street! We could literally see the entrance right from our room window. It was a beautiful experience here.
