It was one of the hotels recommended by the conference organizers. The location is great, close to almost anything you would need during your stay: CVS, restaurants(fast food and sit down), grocery store(across the street), shopping center(across the street), on Old Town Trolley route and Prudential subway station is right at the front entrance of the hotel making it really convenient to commute via subway. The service is good overall. We had a problem with the bathroom door that came off from the track and they fixed it while we were out during the day. The bathroom decor was acceptable, plenty of light. toiletry provided is a plus.

What I find unfavorable are the amount of pillows on the bed. There were probably 8 of them big and small including actually sleep pillows. We had to take them down when we went to bed. If you love having a lot of pillows, this should be a plus. The clock on the bedside table was really bright blue light that it was difficult to go to sleep with it being on. So I faced it toward the wall. There was no microwave in the room, there was a bar in the small fridge mostly packed with beverage. This one is a standard, you pay for what you eat.

If you want to use an internet, you need to pay $10/24 hours. You also have to pay for parking. We parked our car there for 3 days and a half and it costs us about $140 as I recall.

Spent four nights with my family at The Colonnade in Boston. Loved the location with children. Rooms are tight but good experience with accomadations. Hotel service is ok, not great.

I stayed at the Colonnade hotel with a group on business. As I understand, the hotel underwent a recent renovation and I thought it was beautifully done. The rooms are spacious, very comfortable and the bathroom was just fantastic. Modern, but not too many gadgets or weird touches. I was staying in a room closest to the elevator, but it was absolutely pin-drop quiet, and I am a very light sleeper.

Location is great as well; it's close to several great restaurants but, in my opinion, the best one is its own restaurant, Brasserie Jo. A wonderful restaurant, I think. I arrived at the hotel very sick, and getting some roast chicken from Brasserie Jo brought me back to life. There is also a Brasserie Jo in Chicago, but I thought this one was even better.

Service was quite wonderful as well - when I asked for several extra hangers, a bellman was at my door with half a dozen within minutes.

Since my group had a meeting there, the refreshments, lunch & snacks were provided by the hotel, and they were very tasty, with lots of healthy and interesting choices. The best meeting food I have had yet.

I would recommend it to anyone wholeheartedly.

We stayed at the Colonnade for a week over the Fourth of July. The room was nice and felt very clean, but it was on the small side for two adults and two teens. The bathroom was also small.

The location was pretty good, it was especially easy to walk back from the fireworks on July 4 and we liked the proximity to the Prudential Center, Starbucks and Barnes and Noble.

Little details keep this from being a first-rate hotel, though. Our in-room safe never worked even though maintenance came up to fix it; they put a $500 charge through on a credit card ($100 per night) to cover incidentals) even though we never used them; random staff member came into the room one afternoon to deliver a Gatorade to the mini-bar and seemed to be shocked when he found us sitting in the room; we were charged twice for the wireless card even though we were I-Prefer members and should have gotten it for free. Nothing major, but little things that added up to make it a less than perfect stay.

The rooftop pool was nice and it was nice to have it as an option for a mid-afternoon break from the city.

Would we stay here again? If the rate was good. Otherwise, there are many other choices that seem like they may have been better.
