Frommer's Review
The Parker House has operated continuously longer than any other hotel in America (since 1855!), but it's hardly stuck in the 19th century. Ongoing interior and exterior renovations are sprucing up the property, which was already in excellent shape; request a room removed from the work area. Most of the 50-plus configurations aren't huge, but all guest rooms are thoughtfully laid out and nicely appointed, with cherry furnishings and colorful carpeting. The hotel is popular with business travelers, who can book a unit with an expanded work area, and sightseers, who can economize by taking advantage of a weekend deal, especially in the winter, or by booking an "economy single." The closest competition is the Nine Zero, a block away, but that's an entirely different space-age animal -- the Parker House is modern yet a little old-fashioned, and proud of it.
