Executive Hotel Pacific

8/10 Good

"The check-in process was quick and easy, and the hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel is in a heritage building, and with that comes some compromises of an old building. The room and bathroom were quite tiny, but were fine and sufficient for a one-night stay. The one downside (literally and figuratively) was that the right side of the king-sized mattress was partially collapsed and my wife was almost comically rolling downwards off the side of the mattress if she laid anywhere close to the side of the bed, no joke. The bed was otherwise comfortable, but the mattress could in our particular room could do with being replaced. Finally, note that the parking lot for hotel parking was quite tight. I arrived when the lot was nearly full (noting I have a reasonably sized VW Golf R), and the two available spots I saw were a tight squeeze to get into with mid-sized SUVs in a lot of the spots, including where I parked. It looked like large SUVs might not fit in this lot too well, at least when the lot is almost full."

The Boylston Hotel Capitol Hill

10/10 Excellent

"Outstanding value and location. Minimalism done right. Friendly staff by text, phone, and in person. Bed was super comfy. Not much of a view but that wasn't what I was seeking. I slept well but I saw they had a noise machine and ear plugs for those who don't. My only suggestion would be to add a bar stool so that I could eat food in the room other than on the bed or standing. I'd re-book in a heartbeat. Happy to patronize a locally owned new small hotel rather than the pricey corporate conference hotel I wasn't about to stay at. Southern cap hill has changed over the years and wow the restos and bakeries and nightlife is amazing."

Coast Gateway Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient if needing a hotel by the airport with free shuttle service running every 15 mins or so. Staff was friendly and held our luggage after checkout so we could catch the light rail to the city for a few hours before our flight. It wasn’t really close to the Light Rail (maybe 1/2 mile up the street) but if you’re not by yourself and it’s not nighttime, then the walk/area is totally fine. The tiebreaker for us is their location next to a great restaurant that stays open later than the other airport hotels. We would definitely stay here again!"
