Copley Square Hotel, a FOUND Hotel

I booked this hotel looking to save a few bucks relative to the hotels I have stayed at in Boston in the past, like the Fairmont, the Liberty and the Intercontinental. The Copley square hotel was less than half the cost of these. I came to Boston to visit my daughter and see the city. I didn't care if the hotel had a gym or restaurant because I knew i'd get plenty of exercise walking everywhere and I didn't plan on eating there. I didn't go into the restaurant though I looked at the menu and it looked really good. In all honesty the caliber of the restaurant seems a bit better than the caliber of the hotel. I was looking for something less expensive this trip so I'd have more money to put towards meals and experiences outside the hotel, i.e. museums, shows, I rented a car for a day so we could day trip, etc. If your'e here to see Boston on a vacation or look at schools, this hotel is ideally located. The location is fantastic for a visit to Boston actually. The lobby is almost nonexistent, it is not a luxurious hotel, it is not brimming with amenities. The " fitness center" has one treadmill. But Boston was my fitness center. I logged about 10 miles a day walking. There is a washer / dryer you can use which can be handy and there is a small communal kitchen, which I would have only used for the microwave, but it is there if you need it. The rooms themselves aren't the biggest but they aren't cramped, at least the double double I stayed in wasn't. I wasn't planing on ballroom dancing in the room so It was perfectly fine. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and the beds had nice fluffy comforters. The room and bathroom were clean and cute. The shampoo/ shower gel/ lotion provided had a beautiful lavender smell that someone actually complimented me on when I was out and about. The bathroom was up to date, not old or dirty. I plan on staying here again.

Location! The hotel is near back bay train and subway station (Amtrak and orange line, respectively), as well as Copley Place Mall and Prudential center. Back bay station can be easly underground accessed through Copley Place Mall. At the hotel side there is a great market (Star Market) that you can easily buy food and drinks. In the back bay station you can get the subway to downtown and the main Boston neighborhoods easily. The room was large and the heating system was working well and silently. There was a refrigerator and safe in the room. Beds and bath were comfortable and the staff very attentive.

This hotel is outstanding . It seems like a vintage hotel from outside to the core. Great decorations and charming colors and atmosphere. Rooms were spacious. A very functional refrigerator. A bathtub. Very comfortable bed that made me want to get one in my home. There is a common area for eating that contains tables, microwave, plastic utensils and the surprise is that coffee and hot beverages were served in it all day long and it was a very good coffee. The location of the hotel is great in a very stylish street close to the Back bay station and walkable to downtown with a large supermarket just a minute walk.

The location is fantastic - right in the heart of Back Bay - making this hotel good value for money. My room was a decent size with a desk and chair, closet and luggage rack making it a great pied-a-terre for my four-day trip. The reception and housekeeping staff were friendly and the housekeeping staff does an excellent job - my room was spotless and they made the bed and tidied / cleaned the bathroom each day.

The bed was outstanding and the room very spacious and well equipped. Location was excellent for attending conference: easy to get to on foot from airport shuttle and short walk to the many hotels for the conference center. The price was competitive for Boston prices. Staff at the front desk were helpful with printing items and checking my bags for the final day. There was a coffee machine in the basement that provided drinkable coffee
