Top Back Bay East Hotel Reviews

The Midtown Hotel MOD Collection by Sonesta

8/10 Good

"Very clean rooms and friendly staff!"

Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport

10/10 Excellent

"The Omni was immaculate! Lobby is vast and gorgeous when you walk in and I was greeted and checked in by the loveliest woman at the front desk. She was extremely nice and went above and beyond to make sure i had everything I needed as well as answered any questions. Hotel is in a great location, walking distance to the water which was convenient. The room was perfect! Super clean and a great size. Bathroom was also beautiful. Only complaint is that the bathroom was that new style (that seems to be all the rage) where there is no door for the little alcove the toilet is. Not a huge deal but just something to point it. Overall would highly recommend a stay here!"

citizenM Boston Back Bay

8/10 Good

"Great hotel, but it's the little things that will throw off your day. CitizenM doesn't provide irons to iron clothes in your room, but they have 1 ironing station in every floor for all the rooms to share. However, the iron wasn't working well and I had to settle for a wrinkled shirt and pants."
