The Inn At St Botolph

The location is great right behind Copely and close to Prudential and the mall at its base. Legal Seafoods is close by. It's a tiny boutique hotel on a side street. Key code lock on doors. Woke up in middle of night as someone banged on the door for 5 minutes... guess they didn't have the code. Has only queen bed but there was plenty of room to put a king... they just didn't.

A delightful surprise, especially the price and location. The kitchenette was excellent, new equipment, well organized everything one might need. Staff was very helpful.

My daughter loved feeling like we were in our own apartment in the city, but I found the nearly total lack of contact with hotel staff off-putting. And on Tuesday morning, there was no hot water to be had when I tried to take my shower. Is that a function of a small, old building? We had an appointment, so I washed in cool/lukewarm water. Not fun. When we came back to our room, the hot water supply seemed plentiful again. We didn't bother going to the office since they don't really seem interested in talking to guests that much.

If one doesn't need the full services of a concierge, this is an excellent little boutique hotel tucked on a quiet side street in a great location between the South End and Back Bay. Though my room was on the first floor and faced the street, it was very quiet. High ceilings, big windows, stylish furnishings, and all the kitchen gadgets I'd ever need made me feel quite at home. I wasn't a huge fan of the rubber floor covering in the bathroom, which I imagine is difficult to truly clean. Though breakfast was included, I didn't get a chance to try it. I was traveling on business and found it easy to walk to a number of excellent restaurants in the area for dinners. There's also a convenience store across the street, and around the corner one can find a full supermarket and a full shopping mall. I'd definitely recommend this hotel and would stay there again.

Recently stayed several days and left feeling a bit disappointed regarding the experience. Let me start off by saying that the rooms are impeccable decorated. I looked through the pictures and my room looked exactly as shown -- gorgeous modern furniture and fine linens. But once you get past the appearance there are some basic flaws which make a several day visit at this price point annoying. 1) Absolutely no parking.-- I got a $40 ticket on the windshield of my rental car for parking after 4PM in ''Resident Only'' meters in front of the Inn during the time I unloaded my bags. 2) I opened my laptop to begin checking emails and look for a nearby restaurant / bar and found I could not connect to the Inn's Wireless Service. I looked around the room and in the drawers for a welcome letter with connection instructions and there were none. I called and the code did not work -- it took more than 24 hours for the manager to come up to my room to fix it. 3) No coffee available for the small co...

Beautiful rooms, GREAT locatation, Excellent price, good service, very clean and elegant! I will definitely stay there again!!!
