Frommer's Review

At the base of Beacon Hill, this 15-story hotel attracts both businesspeople and travelers with business at adjacent Massachusetts General Hospital; the staff is especially sensitive to the needs of patients and relatives. The location is convenient to downtown, within walking distance of the Back Bay, and not far from East Cambridge. The good-size guest rooms have contemporary furnishings and plenty of business amenities; all were refurbished in 2007. Each unit has a picture-window view of the city, the State House, or the parking structure -- ask for a room on a high floor, facing Blossom Street if possible. The building is part of a small retail complex with a Whole Foods supermarket, a drugstore, and a handful of shops.

Facilities: Restaurant (American); lounge; outdoor heated pool; small exercise room; access to nearby health club ($10); concierge; tour desk; car-rental desk; room service until 10pm; coin-op laundry; laundry service; executive-level rooms; rooms for those w/limited mobility.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
