"Very clean room and the staff was great."

Hotel Commonwealth

8/10 Good

"The hotel is clean and smells nice. Our view was a rooftop of a building, the lights were all pretty dim, the bed not comfortable (backache next day upon waking). No coffee maker in room or really anything fancy to be considered a luxury hotel. Pretty expensive place to stay for nothing to brag about. However...the front desk staff were great! Loved them!"

The Revolution Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Shared bathrooms worried me but not a problem. Lots of available cubicles, spotlessly clean. Room was adequate."

Wyndham Boston Beacon Hill

8/10 Good
