Hotel 1868

Will not stay here again...

Liked: The location right in Porter Square is great.
Disliked: The desk clerk was very curt and grouchy. It was like being booked into jail rather than being welcomed into a nice hotel. When I walked up to the reception desk, he sat there and grimly barked out, “Name and credit card.” Unsmiling. He then ran my card and pointed to the left and growled, “Elevator.” The guy has definitely not found his calling in customer service. Also, the room was shockingly tiny, with only a foot or so of space on each side of the queen-sized bed. The elevator shaft took up most of the space, it seemed. The soap dish had gunk in it left over from the previous guest; it had not been cleaned. Very overpriced—the only good thing was the convenient location across from the subway station.

Passable

Liked: Great location, clean nicely furnished room

Well worth the money and...

Liked: How close it was to the T train station, was just across the road. Location of this meant so easy to get into Boston. Staff was very good, arrive around noon and room was ready. Used the valet parking cost $28.00, little expensive.

Great value for money base...

Liked: Modern, stylish small hotel. Friendly welcome, comfy bed, very close to the subway station.
Disliked: Nothing

A perfect location for a...

Liked: It was quiet and tucked away. I actually really liked that they didn’t force housekeeping every day, it was upon request, that was really nice. Staff was really friendly, gym was incredibly nice, room was really cozy. Aesthetic and decor was really beautiful and cohesive through the whole property.
Disliked: The ac was really finicky and it was either too hot or too cold in the room. The hand soap had a really filmy feel on them. I felt like I couldn’t wash it off which was a weird sensation. The shower was really nice, perfect water pressure, but the floor tile was incredibly slippery.
