We actually checked into this hotel, saw the room, and immediately checked out. Floor was dirty, chairs looked like they had been pulled out of a dumpster, drawers did not close, bathroom door did not close, headboard and other surfaces were dirty

Thank you Karin at the desk, you were very helpful. The place was clean, a great location to all the tourist stuff, and just a short walk so it is far enough to enjoy a quiet night sleep.

Great stay! Perfect location!

This was a cute boutique hotel and the service and friendliness of the front desk staff was amazing and very helpful!! It's the perfect location for a downtown stay and within walking distance to the freedom trail sites, a lot of restaurants, bus/subway stops, etc. The room was perfect for a solo travel, the bed was not the most comfortable, but not terrible, views are limited, and unfortunately you can hear everything outside and your neighbors in other rooms. Overall, I would recommend this hotel!!!

We stayed at The Boxer to attend a Celtics game so in that regard it was convenient. The cons: cleanliness was below average (rusty shower rod, worn carpet, left overs in refrigerator left that were not ours). It was also very noisy. You can hear everything in the hallway and there was periodically (including early in the morning) a loud sound lasting a minute or so that we think was the ice machine. When we first checked in around 4ish someone who worked at the hotel barged into our room (luckily we had the dead bolt thing out so it didn’t fully open) he said nothing and then closed the door, my husband went after to see who it was and the man said he was checking on the rooms. It just seemed weird and uncomfortable, shouldn’t the staff know when rooms have been checked into? We also had someone knock on our door at 2:30 am and when my husband checked the person asked for extra towels. It was a little scary and the person ran off down the stairwell when we didn’t answer them. We called the front desk and they said they would look into it but it was very strange.

Not My Best Stat in Boston

The hotel is clean and trendy but the staff wasn’t the best. We were aggressively told check in was at 3PM because we got there early. We didn’t even ask to check in. $50 parking per night which is like 3 blocks away. They charge $25 a night for an amenity fee too which I’m not sure what those amenities are. WiFi? I’m rarely charged for that if I’m not in Vegas. Location abs cleanliness are its best attributes. If you can find a comparable price, choose it over this place.
