10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location for exploring Boston!"

The Midtown Hotel MOD Collection by Sonesta

8/10 Good

"I enjoyed the convenience and accessibility of the location. It had a beautiful view of the Christian Science Plaza. However, the continental breakfast was beyond sad. It was apples, packaged pastries, and not-so-good coffee. The morning staff, name was Abby was extremely rude and with a poor attitude that made us feel uncomfortable. Since check-in, she didn’t greet us or welcome us. She hardly made eye contact. I always waited to see if another staff could help in order to avoid her. Overall, due to convenience, pricing and room cleanliness, I’d stay again."
