Everything was excellent. The breakfast buffet was fresh and delicious with a wide variety of options. I especially enjoyed the made-to-order omelets. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

The worst hotel experience I’ve ever had. This place doesn't even deserve a 2-star rating. Every facility and service was subpar. The bathroom was so small that my knees touched the door while sitting on the toilet, and the shower setup was outdated, with an old curtain and barely functioning fixtures. The hairdryer looked at least 20 years old and stopped working mid-use — I had to call again an hour after my first request just to get a replacement. The lights flickered constantly, the windows were so thin it felt like I was sleeping outside with all the noise pouring in, and the carpet reeked of urine, which I could literally smell every time I lay down to sleep. But the worst part was the staff. The bellhop just stood there and didn’t bother to open the door or greet guests. The front desk staff were cold, never smiled, and gave off a vibe that made it feel like this wasn’t even a functioning hotel. There wasn’t a single taxi outside — not even one. It honestly felt like a place going out of business, and frankly, I think it should.

The location of the hotel is perfect - very close to Newbury street and two T stations. We were within walking distance of Fenway Park and the Public Garden with a 7 and 9-year old in tow. We had booked our reservation with breakfast included, which was not acknowledged when we first checked in. When we did inquire about it, we were given two tickets per morning for the four of us and were told this covered our family. Two of the three days we had the same server in the restaurant, and he insisted we had to pay for our children. The other day a different server did not charge us. We also received rugs instead of replacement bath towels one of the days. When I called requesting bath towels be brought up, they never arrived, so we shared one bath towel and supplemented with some hand towels that morning as we all showered. I would still recommend this hotel, but the experience was less than I would expect for a Hilton in downtown Boston.

Nice property in the back bay. Walkable to the green line in the Prudential Center which is located right within the Sheraton/ Simon Center next door. Great gym, wish the pool was open though. Otherwise a clean and comfortable stay. Staff were nice and helpful. Be aware of the "resort fee" as it is $35 per night.
