Fodor's Review:

It's perfect, if you like the anonymity of a large hotel and a location that's convenient to everything. And you can't beat the oversize rooms, the big, comfy beds, and the availability of a pool and hot tub. (You'll really love all this if you snagged a super-cheap deal on line.) This 26-story hotel occupies a corner pocket between the Prudential Center (shopping, restaurants) and the Christian Science Church complex. Readers describe the guest rooms as "pleasant," and "fine," if a bit "old school"; wall-to-wall windows overlook the Back Bay and Fenway Park. (Views vary from room to room. You might have a great view of Boston's iconic neon Citgo sign! Bostonians would consider this a good thing, as the Citgo sign is a beloved—if odd—landmark.) Generally, rooms above the ninth floor have the best views. Bathrooms have oversize showers. Try one of the older rooms, which have windows that open (some even have balconies). Pros: large rooms and bathrooms, good roof-level fitness center, free Wi-Fi in the lobby. Cons: fee for Internet in guest rooms, expensive breakfast buffet ("go elsewhere," readers advise).
