    The bed, bedding and pillows at Le Meridien were soooo comfortable. So happy to get a great full night's rest before flying overseas. Hotel was in a safe walkable area of town - central square is very close with restaurants and bars. Easy to get an uber and bop around town, or the red line T is also very close. Liked how big the room was and that it had a mini fridge. Bathroom could def use more counterspace and the shower pressure was kinda low. Hotel doesn't really have a lobby or lounge area and no cafe or convenience shop but these are pretty minor negatives. The staff was courteous and helpful and they will hold your bags for free if needed. Liked the water refill station on the backside of the bar.

    I'm basing my review off of my full experience here including the use of the meeting facilities. I came here for a work meeting and was here for three days. My room was nice and had everything I needed. The first night I ate at the hotel bar. The food was good and I enjoyed the seasonal martini I had. Our meeting facilities were nice and the staff were great. They provided everything we needed and made sure everything was stocked and cleaned up quickly. The food for our meeting was very good with plenty of snacks and drinks.

    Nice location off of a Main Street with many stores & restaurants. Indicated most recently as a destination Hotel per Marriott. they now have an additional $25 destination fee. Which is not on the website.! Parking is costly upwards of $40 for a lot next-door to the hotel not connected within walking distance . I was given the Peabody suite . It was ok nothing spectacular for the price. Breakfast buffet was good-an omelette station with some fresh fruit and pastries- it came with the room, so I'm not really sure how much it cost. There is a small bar on the first floor - Overall -I would stay here again if it was under $200 a night. Missing the room extras like slippers/robe & room smelling good - The coffee machine was broken & fridge was shoved in an armoire so it was hard to open door/ bed was comfortable. I had a late checkout ( 4pm) and went back to the hotel after lunch and found my room had already been stripped, and the bedsheets were on the floor, and my towels were missing so I was bummed since I wanted to lay down for a quick nap.

    Had a great 4 day stay. The staff was so friendly and accommodating, everything we needed from early checkin to extra towels, down to silverware they provided for us no issue. My boyfriend ordered me flowers to the hotel and when we checked in 3 hours early they were already in our room. I thought that was amazing. Rooms are a great size. The beds and pillows were a bit too soft for us we both had back/neck and hip issues each day but other than that everything was great. Bar is very expensive downstairs. $28 for henny and coke! Only one elevator was working while we were staying. Food in the area is ok. Very convenient location. Got the room for a great price thru Expedia.

    Random mattress and housekeeping cart in the hallway

    The front desk staff are friendly and accommodating. That is the only positive. CONS: After we first arrived in our room, we noticed the bottle which was supposed to contain the body soap was totally empty. Okay, not a big deal except it never got refilled the entire time we stayed there; a bit negligent on the housekeeping part. Not only that, but our bathroom light didn't work properly. The entire time we were there, the bathroom light would nonstop flicker while it was on. Extremely annoying and made my eyes hurt. Oh, and the power went out during our stay. As a matter of fact, I'm sitting in darkness while writing this. Not sure when the power will be back on but I hope it's soon! It has been over an hour and our building is the only one affected. Considering the hefty price tag on this hotel- it is not worth it. Too many issues for too expensive a price. There are better places!

    Some items I got from the buffet breakfast

    I stayed for three nights. The location is pretty central and everything was pretty good. I got a coupon for the breakfast buffet so I took advantage of that. It includes things like fruit, yogurt, oatmeal, cereal, breakfast meats, potatoes, egg French toast (not custardy), and various breads and pastries. You can also order omelettes or pancakes and it comes with coffee/tea and/or orange juice. Service there is fairly decent but you usually have to wait a bit until you find someone who'll take your order. Also, they tend not to listen. Both mornings, they sort of suggested an omelette for me, not that I'm opposed but I had wanted pancakes and an omelette the second time. He literally told me he'd make me a vegetable omelette and then immediately walked off to do just that. I gave up. The room was shared with my husband. It was pretty roomy and the bathroom was nice. We had a door connecting to the neighboring room and that in addition to the main door had minimal protection against noise. Basically, I hope your neighbors are quiet, otherwise you'll hear everything. The first night, our neighbors were Chinese. The second and third, they were rambunctious teenagers on some trip. We decided to put up the little sign on the door opting out of getting our towels and linens changed the first night. The second night, I took it back; the bathroom gets a bit crowded when you have used towels lying about. Funny enough, our room was never cleaned the entire three nights we were there. One plus: we did get complimentary bottled water and you can ask for more at the front desk like we had to. We were going to another city after Boston and later that night, I discovered at the new hotel that I had left my laptop charger in the room. I called and the person at the front desk said to call between 8 and 4 and ask for housekeeping because he couldn't help me. I called the next day between the specified hours and no one picked up so I left a message. I gave them a couple of days and yet nothing. Staff seems to do just the bare minimum or what they want. The bottom line: - Good location (next to MIT, 10 minute walk to nearest subway stop, ~$20 for Uber from the airport, ~$17 to Uber to South Station) - Tons of vegetarian/vegan places within walking dustabce (I'm a vegetarian) - Pretty decent breakfast buffet - Staff could be a lot more helpful

I was very unsure which area to stay in, but I'm so happy I chose CCB because the location is absolutely perfect. Back Bay is very nice and safe. You even have a wonderful park just outside the doorstep to walk around, and the lovely Boston Commons only two blocks away. Check-in/out was one of the most seamless experiences I've had with hotels/airbnbs. I didn't have to check in with anyone, and I received the door code a few days before. They have a lovely dining room for guests with homemade cookies, fruit, coffee and tea. Unfortunately I didn't take advantage of the breakfast, but I'm sure it's great too. CCB is really the perfect mix of a hotel and bed/breakfast. I was unsure about doing the solo room with a shared bathroom, but other than having to wait for the other guest to finish his shower so I could take an urgent bio break, it was no issue at all and I would hands down do it again. I'm pretty sure the other floors have a bathroom if you absolutely need it though. For the location, price, comfort, and amenities, College Club of Boston is a no brainer. I got the please to quickly meet the GM on my way out, and she is super sweet. I even left my airpods in the room, and without hesitation they are shipping them back to me. 5 starts forsure.

It is super well-priced at $15/person for 1.5 hours of gameplay which is more than enough for 2 people. They have a bunch of interactive dart games, including classic, and we were able to play all of them multiple times. Additionally, they have Rookie/Normal/Pro lines on the ground so you can choose where to stand and you don't have to be a professional dart player by any means to play these games. The staff is also super friendly. The only concern I had was that the staff wasn't super attentive to our dart table, so despite us clicking the request service button a few times, my girlfriend had to head to the bar to get our drinks and start a tab. My girlfriend's drink was not good either... it was a vodka mixed drink with a salt rim and it was just too salty. It would've been much better with a sugar rim I think. Other than that though, it was an amazing time and I'd highly recommend Flight Club for a date night, outing with friends, or corporate event!

We were 6 people, bill was around 380..with the tax, tip & recommended 4% for the kitchen staff, another 80 in fees, which kills me after traveling through Europe fairly often. So 440 total. Way to much for one drink each for 5 of us, no drink for the 6th, no bottle of wine, split 1 app 7 olives, no coffee, 2 desserts. Way too pricey. When did 34-38 dollar entrees become the norm ? I would never return for one reason..that 4% tip for the kitchen. Pay your back of the house staff from those $$$$ entrees. Perhaps another idea is to take a % off each $15+ cocktail and pay their kitchen staff with it. I have not seen this done in years..absolutely no where. During the height of Covid, yes. But it faded away rather quickly and left a bad taste in everyone's mouth. Also, I'd recommend lighter plates, those poor ladies hauling in those large & heavy dishes is not a good look.
