We were absolutely blown away by the Iris Hotel Boston. This was our family's first trip to Boston so I was pretty much just guessing about where to stay and in what part of the city to book a hotel. We booked pretty much "last minute" so our options were fairly limited. . .but it turns out that Brookline was a fantastic place to stay. Quiet, safe, lots of good places to eat, the Green Line (C line) subway ran right in front of the hotel almost. We took the subway to and from Fenway for the Red Sox game and that was an easy experience. We did have a rental car so we were able to do some exploring around the city - used the parking deck under Boston Common. But back to the Iris Hotel. The staff was phenomenal. We were greeted by an extremely friendly front desk who told us that we had been upgraded to a family room. With 5 people (2 adults and 3 kids (girls 17, 15 and boy 12) - having a second bathroom was a major win. The room was absolutely fantastic - and HUGE. we had a kitchen with refrigerator and microwave. Bedroom 1 had 2 queen beds and across the hall was a large bathroom with big walk in shower. Bedroom 2 had 2 more queen beds and then another large bathroom. The upgrade was unexpected but absolutely made the trip. The hotel looks almost brand new. Apparently the building had been a retirement home from 1984 - 2019 and then a hotel company bought it and spend several years turning it into a hotel that opened in about 2023. They did a fantastic job.

The rooms were impeccable, and the staff was excellent. They were very proactive and helpful in resolving a few challenges we experienced during our trip. The overall experience and the attention given to toddlers and children were amazing. It is also worth mentioning that even the crib was excellent, which made our stay much more comfortable. We truly appreciated the level of service and attention to detail.

Clean and nice decor. I did not appreciate all the added taxes and fees. The 20% discount were never applied to my meals and I was charged and extra $12 fee to have my $14 yogurt breakfast ordered "to go".. on top of the automatic 20% gratuity fee. I paid over $30 for a yogurt to go!
