Fodor's Review:
Many of the suites in this four-story, 19th-century brownstone are thematically decorated; one evokes rustic Italy, another is inspired by neo-Gothic art. Among the many amenities—including gas fireplaces, wet bars, VCRs, CD players, and private voice mail—the enormous bathrooms with oversize tubs and separate showers are the most appealing. Even the staircase (there is no elevator) is extraordinary: a 19th-century wallpaper mural, El Dorado, wraps along the walls. Trompe-l'oeil paintings and murals by local artist Michael Ernest Kirk decorate the common spaces. Another nice touch: free passes to the Museum of Fine Arts and Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Pros: Elegant suites are lush and spacious; gas fireplaces are in all the rooms; helpful, friendly staff. Cons: May be too fussy for some; there's no elevator or handicapped access.
