A balcony in Boston cannot be beat!
And being handed a glass of champagne at check in is rather nice as well. After an extensive renovation, the Revere lands solidly in the Very Good status. The staff was suberb, so that makes up for any little flaws in the hotel itself. It wants to be HIP and like anything that proclaims itself that way, you know it is not going to quite hit the mark. BUt that is part of the charm in the way....the rooms are cute and anytime I have a chaise lounge on which to relax I am happy. The balcony is wonderful-it is rare to find a hotel in which you can let fresh air in. Sure there was mustiness in the hallways which seems to come from the open windows at each end of the hallways, but nothing too disturbing and not apparent in the room. The location was in a word AWESOME....absolutely central to walking around and I made it to Newbury in just a few moments....lots of restaurants nearby as well.
I am not sure why anyone complained about the maids as I found them friendly and efficient-literally every staff member was that way...inclduing the guys out in the driveway.
I will definitely go back.
