“Loved the Colonnade! GREAT location and friendly staff”

Colonnade Hotel

Aug 13, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

This was our first trip to Boston. We spent 3 nights at the Colonnade and loved it. The location is perfect for access to Fenway, the T and shopping. The concierge was very friendly and helpful. The roof top pool is an added bonus.

Unless you have an unlimited budget, I highly recommend this hotel and believe it is a great value for the money.

“Not Thrilled”

Colonnade Hotel

2 of 5 stars

1/3 found this review helpful

We stayed at the Colonnade because of it's close proximity to Northeastern University. It is also within walking distance to Fenway and the T stop is right outside the front doors. The rooms were small, but nice and modern. The beds were very comfortable. The bathrooms are tiny and lacking counter space. There were no mirrors in the room other than the bathroom, making it very difficult for our family to get ready in the morning. Lighting is poor also. The hallways are so dark that we had a hard time reading room numbers. Towels were never left when the room was cleaned and our room keys didn't work twice in our short 2 day stay. Parking was outrageous- $78 for 2 days. Unless I got some great deal, I would not stay here again.

We're very sad to hear that you weren't thrilled with your recent stay! However, we're glad that you commented positively about the location, the plush pillow-top beds and the contemporary room design. Every guest room offers a floor length mirror in the bedroom in addition to the bathroom mirror and the make-up mirror. Our marble vanities were designed to offer plenty of lay down space and we’re sorry you did not find them adequate for your family. We took note of your lighting comment and will continue to monitor feedback like this. While our parking rates are at or below the rates of all neighboring garages, there is no excuse for your keys not to work or the towel replenishment. For that, we are extremely sorry and apologize for the inconvenience this caused you. We hope that you give us another opportunity to win your confidence back.

“Could have been better”

Colonnade Hotel

1/3 found this review helpful

The rooms are nice and comfortable. Maybe a little small but not too bad. Make sure that you press the button that tells the cleaning service do not disturb because I got awakened around 0800. It is a nice hotel if you don't mind spending money otherwise it isn't the best bang for your buck because it is not amazing. The service is ok. Make sure you are a member of
I prefer or whatever that service is because even with the room being overpriced internet is not free, it is about $14. The parking price is terrible too $38 a night. The pool left much to be desired I thought it would be more amazing but the only great part is "rooftop" not the pool itself which was just ehhhhh

“Fabulous for travel with your pooch!”

Colonnade Hotel

1/1 found this review helpful

We just stayed at the Colonnade for two nights with our tiny poodle and enjoyed it immensely! We were concerned because although we have a dog, we are allergic to fur. We were assigned a room on the 5th floor which is the "pet" floor and the rooms were so clean that we had no problems with our allergies at all. I loved the decor of this hotel and I would love to know how they keep those white comforters so spotless! The staff was just exceptional from the front desk and concierge, to the doormen. From one picky lady, trust me, you just can't go wrong with the Colonnade!

“Over priced”

Colonnade Hotel

3 of 5 stars
Virginia
Jul 21, 2008
0/2 found this review helpful

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.
