Frommer's Review
This is a textbook example of a hotel style I call "budget boutique" (and by golly, I'm going to keep calling it that until the term catches on). Rooms and bathrooms are small, amenities few, and prices reasonable. In a great location in the pricey Back Bay, Hotel 140's rates are better than reasonable -- they're a steal. The contemporary-style hotel opened in 2005 in a renovated former YWCA that dates to 1929. Rooms are on the fifth through seventh floors of the 14-story building, which also holds a cafe, the Lyric Stage theater, a high school, residences, and the offices of the "Y," which owns the hotel. Each simply decorated room has a full-size or twin-size bed, without much extra space, but the hotel consistently fills with leisure and thrifty business travelers. Its main competitor is the John Hancock Hotel, a block away, which is roughly comparable but more traditional in style.
