It's hard to imagine a better location in Boston than this spot just a stone's throw from the shops and restaurants of Charles Street. And the rooftop access is worth the price all by itself - we enjoyed a memorable twilight picnic with incredible wraparound views of the entire downtown and Charles River.
I stayed here with three colleagues on a business trip, and there was plenty of space and good privacy for each of us. Plus easy check in/out, comfy beds, and plenty of towels. It's a comfortable, lived-in space ... not a fancy showroom where you're going to worry about breaking the owner's nice china. The T is just 4 blocks in one direction, and the Common is 4 blocks opposite. It's a great spot for proximity to Newbury Street for shopping and downtown for meetings.
Just one heads up for differently abled folks ... be prepared to walk up 3-4 flights of old, steep stairs. Along with the historic charm comes a bit of physical effort to get to your room.
