Great stay.
I stayed in a platinum queen. Very much worth the upgrade. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was really lovely. You are in close walking distance to everything in Back Bay and the train station.

It was a very comfortable room and the service was great, however, the bathroom didn’t have its own heat and was a little cold. Also there was no hand soap in the bathroom.

Hotel AKA Back Bay was all that I could have asked for. The employees were friendly and attentive, and the decor was both modern and infused with a sense of history. I would definitely return when visiting Boston.

What a great find!
From the moment we pulled in, we were greeted by a friendly staff who took care of the car, bags and easy check-in. Totally renovated hotel in a great location. Rooms are super clean with great amenities. The restaurant and bar are located on the lower level with access to outdoor seating. I will not even think about staying anywhere else in the future and would highly recommend.
