I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at The Bartlett. It felt like a European pension--in an older building with character and charm; and modern furniture, fixtures and finishing touches. I was a little worried about the noise coming from the brew pub next door, Bartlett Hall, but things quieted down by 11 or midnight. I think it definitely helped having a room higher up and not facing the street. So what if my view out the window was a concrete wall? Outside, the city was alive with people (at night, too), excellent restaurants nearby (including Bartlett Hall with their beautiful, antique dark-wood maritime-themed decor, and delicious breakfast, so convenient), Macy's open til 9 p.m. a block down the street, so I knew I was in a safe area, which was important for me, a woman traveling alone. Hotel staff was friendly, professional, helpful and fun. An all-around good, upbeat and hip yet down-home vibe to the whole place. I would definitely stay there again.
