It's cute, cozy, simple, and has shared bathrooms. (Yes no toilet or sink in your room). BUT for that you get to stay in a charming space, with nice staff, in a perfect location for a fraction of the cost of the ginormous hotels around the corner. They have a little water, coffee and snacks space for you if you are hungry, and the staff is always willing to help. Overall, a great experience and one I'd recommend for a traveller who wants to spend their money on experiences rather than a room but wants a safe, well located cozy spot.

All you are offered is boiled eggs , pieces of cheese , ham that was cold and felt like a few days old , not great fruit and yogurt. There was syrup on the table so unsure if maybe waffles are made once in awhile but that would be nice on maybe a weekend day. The room was nice but right next door there was a bedroom of someone who is believed to be a resident of the house and you can hear them until late hours which wasn't the best but again people do live in these homes so I don't have the right to complain. I did not enjoy the fact that the bathroom was not in the room, but again I booked that room not properly reading so that is solely my own fault.

Pricier than I would normally go for, but well worth it and I would return in a heartbeat. Location - 10 minute walk to Newbury St. shopping and Copley plaza. Uberable to all common touristy and local spots in Boston Service - Impeccable from start to finish. From the moment I booked my room, the staff emailed me to determine my exact time of arrival and any needs I might have. They also assisted with a mix-up that happened during my booking through a 3rd party service. Knowing I would be coming in late when there were no staff in the B&B, they had excellent communication regarding how to enter the site and find my room. Room turn-down service was excellent. Upon arrival, there were cookies and tea waiting for me. Check-out was easy (I simply returned my key) Breakfast (yes, it gets its own category) - One of the best I've had. Fresh good quality fruit, oatmeal, toast, cereal, good quality pastries, meat & cheese, eggs, cappuccino machine, and your typical beverages. Varies slightly day to day, but very much reminded me of a mixed European/American style. Interior - Modern with a homey and eclectic feel. I could have easily spent my day relaxing in my room, one of the common space parlors, or the rooftop with a view of the city. My room in particular was on the "basement" level, which I loved because of the privacy (I don't think there was another room next to me) as well as private patio!

No one batted an eye at my partner's Looney Tunes t-shirt and shorts. I was better dressed (...definitely the Odd Couple), and we were both made to feel welcome. The cocktails were made well, and the table service was at a good pace--not rushed, but not dragged-on unnecessarily. The food was also quite good. The portions were right-sized, which was appreciated since our B&B did not have a refrigerator in the room. Though I no longer remember what we had (...probably lamb for me and Bolognese for my partner), I do remember that it was a good representation of the advertised dish--not some high concept, deconstructed bullsh*t. The desert martinis were more memorable than whatever cake we chose, but--again--I can't remember the desert being bad, just forgettable.

First off, I requested a 2 bathroom apartment, and was told - via the…read more phone - that ALL of the apartments were 2 bathroom. Well, the one at 113 Beacon street isn't. It's not even 1 and 1/2 bath. More like 1 and 1/8 bath. I've never seen such a tiny, cramped area described as a 1/2 bath before. When I sat on the toilet, my knees touched the far wall & my shoulder touched the sink. And I'm not a big guy. 6' - 210 lbs. So I ended up sitting diagonally on the toilet. Fortunately, as I sat there, wedged uncomfortably between toilet and wall, I was able to look at the quality of the bathroom. And I must wonder where you get your workmen, since the grout work looks like it was done with someone's finger, rather than a grouting tool. But I shouldn't complain, since at least the 1/8 bath has a fan. The upstairs bathroom does not! Well, technically, but since it doesn't actually work, I don't think that we should count that one. Now, during our stay, Boston had some chilly and some warm nights. And we suffered through both. The windows leak like sieves, and the downstairs bedroom - or 'closet' - got uncomfortably chilly. And there are no extra blankets, etc. to help with this. Then, when the weather got warm, it actually got worse. And, as I should have guessed, the windows can't be opened, since they are apparently painted shut- therefore the main living area got stuffy and warm. I would have used the overhead fan shown in the picture they sent me, except it doesn't actually exist. Another anomaly is the windows displayed in the picture. You can see the outside. The windows where we stayed at are FILTHY. I'm not actually sure that light can get in. And the blinds are disgustingly dirty also. Then there's the living area. First, the picture of the living area provided was TOTALLY MISLEADING. The TV is NOT mounted to the wall, and there are dangling wires - not in this photo though. Even the picture in their photo is hung correctly. In the apartment we were in, it's just propped up on top of the mantel. There was no attractive floor rug, just beat up and scuffed flooring. Maybe if you had brooms,etc. people could clean the floor rather than continually grind up the floors? God knows the floor was gritty from day one when we first walked in. Interestingly enough, the "seating area" by the bay window isn't in this photo either. Although none of us could sit there long since the padding on the bench is thinner than a weak cup of coffee. So I'm not even sure we stayed at the apartment that we received pictures of. And let's talk about the kitchen. In the provided photo, the sink is next to a STOVE. No so in real life! And the sink in the promotional photos has a GOLDEN faucet arm. My sink did not. As a matter of fact, my sink doesn't even have a SPRAYER, since it's been broken for god knows how long. The sprayer button is missing. The refrigerator was interesting. It NEVER stops running. EVER! But, before a repairman arrives,I hope they clean the fridge a bit, since it's rather disgusting. At least, I consider rust stains...at least I hope they're rust stains...to be unattractive. And the small white ice cube tray is cracked and broken. Fortunately, we didn't have to wash a lot of dishes, since they were already washed. And still in the dishwasher. The B&B agency must expect their clients to empty the dishwasher? And I'm not done talking about FANS. The fan upstairs cannot be legally called a fan unless it has BLADES, which it doesn't. So this didn't provide much air movement, as you might imagine. Then, we have the mirrors in the living area. A broken mirror that is "fixed" by smearing silicone caulk over it? And slightly to the right of the crack, we come to the door bell. Which has no cover, just dangly wires. Now, I have a lot of other complaints...such as the bedroom...the one downstairs is more of an oversized closet.....but I'm going to skip over that. And the fact that the apartment wasn't clean when we arrived - when the previous tenants had been gone since Sunday? Or the fact that there weren't any extra garbage bags...or that clean bedding was never delivered....eh, skip over that too, shall we? But this, I cannot skip. I've never been in a motel, hotel, house, tent, RV, or even a frat house that gave me the willies as much as their light shade does. It looks like something out of an episode of CSI: Las Vegas. And I took a picture with the light ON, so you really aren't clearly seeing the full horrific effect of the stains outer regions. I honestly believe that based on all of the above.....and the dozens of other things I didn't mention...that I should get a refund of some sort. But, based on what I saw versus what was delivered , I'm not going to hold my breath.

The location remains excellent, and the bar is still one of the hotel's best features. Unfortunately, the rest of my recent experience fell well below the standard I remember. The shuttle service is one of the biggest issues. During my stay, I watched multiple Hyatt shuttles come and go while I continued waiting for the Embassy Suites shuttle. The scheduling and reliability could definitely use improvement, especially for guests who rely on it to get to and from the airport. Customer service over the phone also needs attention. Calls often go unanswered for an extended period, and instead of a staff member greeting you or asking if you can hold, you're simply placed into a waiting queue. A small courtesy, such as acknowledging the caller before placing them on hold, would make a much better impression. The hotel itself is also showing its age and would greatly benefit from a comprehensive renovation. The property has a lot of potential because of its location, but the facilities no longer reflect the quality many guests expect. I'm not writing this to criticize for the sake of criticizing. I'm sharing honest feedback in the hope that management will address these issues. I've enjoyed staying here for years and would like to see the hotel return to the level of service and quality it once offered.

What a great start to my first trip to Boston! I wanted something special, not a generic hotel…read moreroom. I fell in love with this place as soon as I saw the listing. I lucked out with a room availability and spent the next month eagerly anticipating my stay. Why? The neighborhood looked great and the room decor looked even better. From the moment my Lyft pulled up in front of the distinctive purple house I knew I'd picked the right spot. The owner is on site to check you in, answer any questions you have about where to go, and if you ask her about the area ghosts maybe she'll let you borrow the local psychic's book too. While I didn't sense any spirits myself while I walked around Charlestown, I still enoyed reading it. I loved the neighborhood. When you're in Charlestown you're in Boston but you're not IN Boston. You're a short ride or nice walk to the heart of the Italian restaurant filled North End. You can happily begin a trek down the Freedom Trail heading towards downtown and be there in less than an hour after seeing numerous historical sites. The first two Freedom Trail locations, Bunker Hill and the USS Constitution, are a short scenic stroll from the Moroccan. Along the nearby streets you'll find charming shops, tasty restaurants, and so many cute houses lining the way. It's very walkable and has a quiet neighborhood vibe that I loved much more than staying in the much noisier downtown area. And there's a convience store (777 Convenience) super close by for any beverages or snacks you'd like to stock in the fridge. As for the Moroccan itself, listed on Google and Booking as Moroccan Boutique Guest House, the rooms are all unique. The King Suite I booked is the entire 3rd floor. While I don't love a lot of stairs after a long day of walking, there's something charming about those old creaky stairs that led to my own little oasis. The house was built in 1799 if I rememeber correctly, which means you get all the hardwood floors and ceiling beams that some call wonky and others call charming. The fireplaces aren't for fire which was fine by me. The living room area had a tv, some books and magazines to read, a very comfortable couch for lounging, and kitchen with all the supplies if you wanted to buy groceries to be your own chef. Elizabeth does leave you some bowl packs of Cheerios and a small container of milk in addition to a large bottle of water. There's also a printed list of restaurant recs included with her welcome info that I loved. I already had a bunch of places bookmarked for my trip, but I assume the less Yelpy find that list incredibly helpful. The bathroom was my favorite of the trip. Spacious shower, nice tolietries, a decorative sink, and comfy bathrobes were a nice touch. The bedroom was exactly like the pictures! The bed, a giant marshmallow with soft sheets and purple drapes, king sized of course, was a dream. It was the most comfortable bed of the 4 of the trip. We missed it every time we met a new bed that was pretty meh by comparison to its softness. From the location to the furniture to decorative touches, we loved everything about this place. If you're heading to Boston check the availability. If you're lucky, there may be a room for you. The next time I head to Boston I hope my luck holds.

Jon offered to refill anything I might need. Wifi worked great, wall mounted TV with Roku, thermostatically controlled AC unit and base board manually controlled heat. Green Turtle location is AMAZING, berthed on the last dock in the Charleston Marina with sweeping views in every direction. The Marina is within walking distance to ferries, shuttles and services. The Marina houses many high-end yachts. It should be noted, the houseboat is anchored on a two-sided dock. When the other side of the dock is occupied, it impedes the panoramic view. Regardless, the view at in every direction was lovely and I enjoyed seeing the neighbor yacht up close. I highly recommend the Green Turtle!
