- AmyMar 2, 2024Great location and lovely service
We loved the location and the service. Staff was kind to our kids and our dog. And the bed and dog bowls meant we didn’t need to bring that stuff with us.
- Deborah SMay 28, 2023Great staff
Our Bailey was treated very well, as were his human counterparts. Staff could not have been more helpful.
- WilliamSep 24, 2022Dog friendly In the heart of Boston
Good experience with our dog and great history. Great parks all around!
- Kaiulani KiniJul 6, 2022Very dog-friendly hotel
I used to live in Boston and having to plan a trip with my four legged baby was the highlight of our trip. Kimpton hotel staff was super friendly. They have treats, poop bags and a dog dedicated area at the lobby. Near by parks are great for a walk. Dog decorations along the hotel makes your dog feel more welcomed rather than a hassle. Great pricing compared to other high-end hotels.
- RobertJun 20, 2022Perfect Location
Ideal spot for Boston. Park close by for pet relief.
- JenniferJun 30, 2021I may never stay at a different hotel in Boston
This Kimpton ruled for location and for its beautifully designed room, which was a pleasure to stay in. They were genuinely dog friendly. We could walk right to the Boston Common, and to the North End for delicious food. I loved the style of this hotel, with its comfortable beds and the price seemed pretty fair for the quality. The desk staff were all really sweet, too. I look forward to staying here again!
- HeidiApr 6, 2021Love the Kimpton
We’ve stayed at the Kimpton twice now in different locations and both times we’ve had an incredible experience. It’s clean, beautiful, and they’re so accommodating and dog friendly. We always see tons of other vacationers with their pups at the Kimpton. Highly recommend.
- StephanieApr 3, 2021Close to Boston Commons!
Great location, awesome rooms and lots of restaurants around. There’s just misunderstanding during check out as they did not mention the Guest Amentity Fee upon check in. I am used in paying Guest Amenity Fee in the west coast pre corona but they always mentioned in upon check out such as the wifi access and the wine hour. They ended up waiving it after a couple of days but no apology at all (although it is the check in person’s fault) Other than that the stat was great! We had a 2 rooms for the weekend!
- ElinorNov 13, 2020Great location and staff
They whare very friendly to my large dog. They put us in a pet friendly floor. In the room there was a fine bed for a dog and two medium sized bowls.
They allowed us to leave our dog in the room by herself as long as she behaves good.
Great park across the street! - GeophSep 3, 2020Good staff, good location; Hotel is Nickel and Dime
Aside from a VERY noisy neighbor (during COVID times, why are they even putting us right next to each other? The hotel wasn't crowded!), who then filed a noise complaint against *us* because our pup barked in response to their constant banging doors (has never happened at any other hotel we've stayed at, ever - he's a very chill pup), the stay was fine, the staff was cool, and the location was generally solid. (Right by the park, not far from the marketplace, both pluses; but walking through some shadier crowds while trying to get there, a big minus.)
BUT...do not expect to pay only the rates you're looking at here. This is the typical confidence trick that too many of these hotels try: they're giving you a base rate with practically nothing included (parking, internet...), so that they show up in searches within a specific price range, and then stacking costs on top (*daily* costs!) if you actually want the usual things you get at pretty much any hotel for similar rates.
Did we pay the extra? Parking, yes; internet, no (we didn't need it, our phones were fine for the short stay). Would we be up for staying at a pricier place anyway? Sure, depending on where and why. But what we paid is nowhere *near* as low as the rates that are given here. It's a trick, and a kind of dirty one, especially as the "parking available" icon is therefore entirely inaccurate ("available for the daily rate of a full motel room *with* parking elsewhere" would be a better description), and there is contradicting information on their parking situation online (which was partly cleared up by a hotel rep before we went there).
Things that have been included in the daily rate for literally every other hotel we've stayed at in the last decade: internet/wi-fi, parking, a coffee maker (!), and electronic key cards that worked more than 30% of the time. (Okay, I'm just being snarky - but truthful - about that last bit.)
This hotel's rates are *not* as advertised, if you plan on staying there the way you'd stay at pretty much any hotel we've stayed at before (from coast to coast). Expect to spend more on the order of $200 a night minimum, depending on what you need from them.
- ChristineJan 2, 2020Great hotel
Great service, wonderful location, overall excellent stay
- JayDec 28, 2019Great Stay with our Bernese Mountain Dog
