The Inn At St Botolph

The room size was really comfortable, and it’s a great hotel in a fantastic location. I’d definitely stay again when visiting my kid at Northeastern.

We liked being able to enter the building and our room with a code, without tracking a key or waiting in a check-in line. The ground-floor common area had coffee machines, cold filtered water, plus a fridge stocked with complementary bottled water and juices. Breakfast was sparse, but the big, thick fresh English muffins were great. We brought them upstairs to toast in the kitchenette’s toaster oven and eat in our suite. We spent 5 nights in a two bedroom executive suite on the fourth floor during a brutally hot week in June. The central A/C kept us cool. The suite was spacious, bright, and had a pleasant view of the pretty brownstones on the quaint street. Having desks in each bedroom and a large table in the sitting area worked well for meals. The one complaint was the cleaning when we arrived. There were crumbs on the couch and in the ottoman crevices, and the couch was a little damp and smelled like the last residents had spilled cake. The gentleman at the desk that evening kindly offered to vacuum the ottoman since housekeeping had left for the day, and brought extra sheets and blankets to drape over the couch to cover the crumbs and smell. Once we’d settled in, we asked for the room to be cleaned and were told it would cost $50 out of pocket, so we declined. Without that, the stay would have been perfect.

Jordan and the rest of the staff made us feel at home, always welcoming, kind, and helpful. The views were excellent, and our spacious, comfortable room was beautifully appointed, with luxury toiletries. This was our second stay at The Inn at St. Botolph, and it exceeded expectations again. It’s tucked away in Back Bay, but close to transport links and easy for exploring Boston. A quiet, cozy boutique hotel in the heart of the city. We can’t wait to return!

Breakfast was continental, with bagels, cereal, and the like, but it was appreciated. The location made it easy to walk just about anywhere downtown. It’s a quaint little inn in Back Bay, with comfortable rooms and very friendly, accommodating people at the front desk. I’d gladly come back.
