Wyndham Boston Beacon Hill

8/10 Good

"The location is perfect for downtown Boston. This hotel charges for everything. Parking is $70/day. No amenities in the lobby. The hotel is clean but very small rooms and very dated. If you need anything they respond immediately."

Copley Square Hotel, a FOUND Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Despite all the poor reviews, I decided to give it a chance. I am glad I did. My room was spacious and clean. I had hot water in my shower. And my AC also worked. It wouldn't go below 70 F. But I prefer it that way. The room was quiet. And the cleaning ladies were super attentive. There is a cute restraunt/bar downstair. They serve breakfast starting at 8 am. And Lunch and dinner as well. They open their french doors. And becomes an outside patio at night. Would stay here again for sure!"
