Great place to stay in Boston

This was a great location to stay in Boston. It was convenient to the train station and you could walk to all the sites in the city. Good breakfast and very reasonable.

Good price if you don't mind walking a few blocks

This is a hotel that give you a good value for a convenient location. Stay here if you're basically looking for a convenient location and a well appointed place to sleep. If you're looking to spend a lot of time in you're room, it's not for you. The hotel is a few blocks from the downtown district and Boston Common and near the North End. If you don't mind walking just a couple of blocks to all of the tourist sites, you can't beat the price. The rooms are nicely appointed, but because of the triangular shape of the building, the rooms are small. We were originally given two double beds which made the room seem to have no floor space. We switched to a room with a king size bed, and it was manageable. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Not a Business Travelers Hotel

I had two extremely heavy bags and the two desk clerks watched me struggle up the stairs to the desk to check in. When I called down and asked for bell cart to be delivery the desk clerk said "I don't really have anyone free to do that but you can come get it yourself." Would not stay there again because it is just not business traveler friendly.

PARKING

My only complaint about this hotel was the explanation regarding the parking. The parking garage was not an "in and out" service for one daily charge. Once you were in the garage you paid the amount owed or the 30 for the daily rate. If the hotel could work with the parking garage to fix this it would be so much better for the guests.

Small Rooms

Very small rooms - really too small for comfort. Hotel seems to be a 'mickey mouse' operation. We asked for extra pillows and were told that the hotel was sold out and there weren't any available...

Great hotel staff

The staff at the Bullfinch Hotel were all excellent. They did go out of their way to make our stay as comfortable as possible. There is only one elevator at this hotel. The elevator was broken and our room was on the 9th floor, so we either had to wait for the elevator to be repaired or carry our bags up 9 flights of stairs. The hotel did get a service company working on the elevator right away and the problem was resolved within an hour. Our room was small, we knew this going in, but it was clean and comfortable. The street behind the hotel has a lot of beggers. although we were approached for money we never felt threatened. All in all the Bullfinch is nicely located for siteseeing and the great restaurants are within easy walking distance. We would stay there again.

Great Hotel

Would stay there again without a doubt. Small room, but clean and great if you aren't spending a lot of time in the hotel
