    the trailer suites
    Joseph S.

    In town for a concert at Fenway/MGM, we booked this hotel because it is an easy five-minute walk from the venue and about $100 per night cheaper than many nearby options. The property has a fun 1960s vibe, with music front and center, turntables in every room, and a big selection of albums to choose from. Once you get past the all-black hallways, the rooms themselves are a good size, very clean, with effective HVAC, relatively quiet nights, and one of the better-designed hotel bathrooms, including actual shelf space for toiletries. Staff were solid, and the included breakfast is more substantial than the typical "free breakfast" offered by many hotels. Highly recommended; we stayed in a standard room rather than one of the converted travel-trailer suites.

    Amazing hotel that is not as well known as one would think! It is right next to the Boston Red Sox stadium. One can even hear the games playing from their room. I highly recommend those that like ecclectic boutique hotels

    I booked this hotel through Airbnb not really knowing what exactly to expect. It EXCEEDED my expectations. My husband is a huge music fan and was blown away by this hotel. The entire staff was incredible! Externally helpful and kind. They were a blast to talk to, especially Cisco and Carley! We loved all of the music memorabilia around the hotel, and the record players in the rooms, SO COOL! The entire hotel was aesthetically pleasing and being right next to Fenway so just so cool. The breakfast was perfect. We weren't expecting to eat breakfast at the hotel, but because we were running late, a grab and go breakfast was exactly what we didn't know we needed. We will definitely be back someday!!!!

    Super cool hotel full of rock n roll history and memorabilia. We were worried that it was would really gimmicky and kinda lame but it's anything but! So much has gone into making a cohesive image from start to finish. The lobby feels like you just walked into a rock star's home, the rooms are like backstage rooms at a show. You can borrow albums from the lobby to take back to your room to play on the record player. Everything was really clean. I loved that there's a small fan in the room so we didn't have to play fan sounds on our phone. We aren't breakfast people so we didn't take advantage of that. My husband ate at Hojoko and really enjoyed it. The location is great. We were seeing a show at MGM. Able to walk around easily. The staff was extremely friendly. Would stay again!

    "I get my thing in action (Verb!) To be, to sing, to feel, to live (Verb!) (That's what's happenin')" My verbs: Rock The turntables in the rooms are a nice touch. The record libary is pretty decent. There is something for everyone. If you can't find what you are looking for, ask. I used to have a vinyl collection, and it was nice to revisit some old favorites. Check out Every Picture Tells a Story (Rod Stewart) and The Clash [UK version] (The Clash). Sleep Well, the queen bed was pretty comfy. I didn't appreciate the partiers loudly returning to their rooms at 1:15 am. I was here for a week, and this happened on more than one weeknight. If I ever return I will reserve a trailer. Eat I am vegan, and my options at breakfast were above-average. I went for the waffles and the banana muffin. They also had some decent fruit. Hey, Verb, how about some hot and cold cereals (with non-dairy milk, please)? Mirian always welcomed me with a smile on her face. Pay My comrade (and other Yelpers) complained about the hidden daily room fees, but I thought that theverbhotel.com was upfront about it. Work paid for my trip, so I guess I don't care, but it seems to me that if one does the math, one can find better deals in this area. Michelle and her crew were cool, though. I didn't eat at Hojoko (not enough vegan options). I didn't exercise (no gym). I never got over my jet lag. Tip your breakfast attendants and housekeeping staff, please. https://www.schoolhouserock.tv/Verb.html One last verb: Deal Hey, Verb, I have a cool idea. If you offer some vegan versions of old Howard Johnson's breakfast items (e.g., hotcakes and sausage), I promise to come back the next time I visit your charming city. P.S. Almost forgot to mention the 15% discount for returning rock stars. That is pretty cool, and it increases the likelihood that I shall return. Speaking of cool, I was in the theater opening night: Ian Faith: The Boston gig has been cancelled... David St. Hubbins: What? Ian Faith: Yeah. I wouldn't worry about it though, it's not a big college town.

    Friendly staff, cool vibe with lots of music memorabilia, record players in each room, hotel was clean with free breakfast included, has cute pool, is pet friendly & couldn't be closer to the ballpark! Loved it.

    This is my first time at The Verb Hotel and I can say from the first day that it will not be my last. Michelle, Chris and the Front Desk Team were all amazing and made our stay so comfortable and heart warming amidst the pretty cold November weather in Boston. The warm welcome as they check us in, to the farewell and invitation to stay with them again as we checked out. The housekeeping staff were amazing as well as they maintained and kept the room clean and well supplied. The hallways and corridors were spotless and well maintained. The hotel is kept clean everywhere. The room have TV, vinyl record player where you can play vinyl records free of charge and you can borrow as much vinyl record as you can from their vast collection at the lobby. The room also have a fridge, flat iron, and safety deposit box. The hotel have a parking lot and valet service, a heated swimming pool, free bottled waters, and they have their own bar and a Japanese restaurant named Hojoko. Highly recommended. Check it out!

    This hotel was so amazing and cool. I was gagged when I walked inside. I love the vibe and decor. The room was spacious and clean. You get a record player in your room. The have breakfast included. You pay an amenity fee when you arrive. They kind of tell you at the last minute. That's the only con. But it's worth it, if you're staying for a couple days or more. With the fee, it includes breakfast, unlimited water, pool access and you can play records in your room. A few records already come in your room, but you get more in the lobby. When I visit Boston, I'll definitely come back here. The staff were friendly and helpful.

    Everything was perfect at The Verb! We loved it all. From the area to the hotel service, we will absolutely be back!!!!! A favorite for us Swimming in Boston (in March) in a heated outdoor pool (during an almost full moon). Great experience

    The Verb Hotel definitely has a.vibe. The hotel, formerly the Fenway Motor in and then a Howard Johnson's, has a unique look inside and out. The location is a stone's throw from Fenway! The hotel has "groovy" decor with rock & roll and pop artifacts sprinkled throughout. Every room has a turntable and your stay includes the ability to borrow any record from the collection in the lobby. There is also complimentary hot coffee & cold brew, as well as bottled water. Breakfast (included) is served in the adjoining restaurant. Items available included smoothies, muffins, hard boiled eggs, cereal, and waffles. We ate outside and enjoyed the lovely weather. The pool is not huge, but it is a lovely oasis in the middle of the city. The rooms have comfortable bedding. We had a standard room, but there are upgraded rooms such as pool view and rooms with a patio facing Fenway. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. When visiting Boston we usually stay in Back Bay, but the Verb was a nice change.

    Christa S.

    EXCELLENT all the way around. First if you're a baseball fan, this is the place for you if you're going to a game or just want to be in the "hype" of Fenway! Excellent location from the airport as well! Overall there's plenty to do around the hotel and restaurants on site! Pool is glorious, you can choose records to bring to your room, rooms are SUPER clean. If you're an influencer or a wanna-be, this is also an epic photo spot! 100% recommend!

    We came as a family to support one of our own in running the Boston Marathon. The Verb is cool and funky and a great location. We loved the Elton John room with a balcony we had. The entire staff was continually friendly and helpful. The highlight of our stay was the after party from the race. Thank you to the rock star of the hotel Gabby for securing an area for our family to toast Nicholas in his life goal to run the Boston. The beer truck and music out front were so much fun as well. Also the housekeeping staff did an amazing job keeping the property so clean. I 100 percent recommend this property!

    I love this hotel! The location, attention to art, restaurants and the staff are absolutely lovely…read more I wouldn't change a thing except to mention that we have stayed at this property a dozen or so times for a night or a week and the hotel doesn't seem to track repeat customers. For a hotel of this status I'm surprised they dont acknowledge repeat customers. "Welcome Back" or a different note in the room than the formulaic one from guest services. There are many hotel options in Boston which we have also enjoyed that seem to pay closer attention to their repeat guests. Just a thought. We will continue to return regardless :)

    Just finished a 3-night stay at The Newbury Boston., which we booked through Amex FHR…read more The good: location is fantastic, rooms are spotless, housekeeping is excellent, and staff is mostly helpful and friendly. The not-so-good: we booked a suite and were originally shown a room on the 11th floor which was very dark and faced a brick building. We requested another room and were moved to a much better room facing the park on the 3rd floor. Neither room was worth the $1k price point but at least the second room was an improvement. It should be noted the elevators are very slow and the wait was 5-10 minutes no matter the time of day. The bad: Contessa has almost zero vegan options... not even oatmeal which was odd. Even the acai bowl had milk in it! I ended up ordering a slice of focaccia, a laughable fruit plate (which was $20), and orange juice. Room service was no better in terms of option...one night I ordered the rigatoni marinara clearly stating that I am a vegan and it arrived an hour later covered in parmesan cheese. None of the above would have been a big deal at a $500-$600 price point, but at $1k per night our experience was disappointing. I doubt we'll stay at the Newbury again.

That time due to everything going on in the world with minimal travel we enjoyed a cheap rate for an entire weekend with probably the best view offered for the hotel of TD Garden as well as the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge. Which I know it's just a bridge but it was a nice sight for an in-city view. This most recent stay was due to a concert at TD Garden my wife and I were in town for. Which I will say if you are looking for a place to stay for an event at TD Garden, good luck finding a better option than here! Check in staff and valet workers were friendly and greeted us with a smile. Rates were very reasonable for end of summer and with a concert so close. Room was smaller this stay around and our view was more of just a building with a small glance of TD Garden if you looked to the side. Overall a very clean room and still a good amount of space. Can not think of any complaints for our stay and would stay here again. They offer valet parking and anytime we needed the car it was quick to get it back. Inside the lobby/first floor they have plenty of seating and what they dub "The Bistro" that offers breakfast, dinner, and full bar and I believe Starbucks drinks too. Location wise it is quite ideal, obviously if your activities/work is in this area of Boston. Besides TD Garden it is also close to North station along with plenty of food and drink options. Personally for a morning coffee or matcha I say check out Blank Street Coffee, then food wise I would say take a quick walk to the North End or closer try Tavern In The Square. Definitely a hotel worth looking into while visiting Boston!
