Fodor's Review:

Vivid stripes, swirls, and other patterns punctuate this slightly over-the-top, lively boutique hotel, which expertly combines luxury, unique stylish flair, and unpretentious service. Leopard-print pillows and fake-fur throws add whimsy to the spacious rooms; many overlook the Charles River. Nice touches abound, like luscious Frette linens, complimentary coffee and tea each morning, popular complimentary wine receptions each evening, and free use of bikes and kayaks in summer. Free book readings and other literary events are held monthly in the hotel lobby. Pros: luxury with below-market price tag (especially on weekends), very family- and pet-friendly, great money-saving packages available throughout the year. Cons: it's a cab ride or a walk and T ride into Boston; the wild colors and decor may not be for everyone.
