Sweet Dreams...
We recently stayed one night as a birthday get away in town. Just as the other reviewers describe, the Back Bay was cozy but charming hotel. You can’t go wrong if you need a nice place to stay and close to the Back Bay area. A block away from the hustle and bustle of tourists and businesses, it was tucked away but easy to find, check in and out was smooth, overall service was great. Lots of shops and restaurants in walking distance or if you walk too far, take a cab back. We had a corner king room on the 8th floor. It was a smaller room but cozy and large bathroom. Overall clean and well decorated. A little worn but well kept. Only huge negative and turnoff was the extremely dirty remote which looked like…never mind. Since the local restaurants were swamped in the afternoon with a 40+ minute wait and I was “starving”, we ended up back at Cuffs, bar at hotel, for a late lunch and drinks. The food and service were good and drinks went down easy. It didn’t feel like a “hotel bar”. We used the valet parking, room service for breakfast, and ordered a movie. All were great, though the movies are a little pricey. Breakfast was average but we chose to stay in versus going out. We came to relax and rest (I was under the weather unfortunately) and the hotel and room were extremely quiet and it felt like we were the only guests on the floor. I typically don’t sleep well at hotels but in this case I got my 8 hours of sleep! A huge plus/kudos to the hotel for not making us feel like we were rushed or on their time table – we felt like true guests. I didn’t see a check in/out time on reservation, their website, or in the room nor were we reminded at check in. This set the tone for our 24+ hours of relaxing. Thank you!
