The Midtown Hotel MOD Collection by Sonesta

10/10 Excellent

"This is a good hotel in an easily accessible location. The room was spacious, clean, and nicely furnished."

The Dagny Boston

8/10 Good

"For an expensive hotel, I was hoping for a little more. However, it seems all Boston hotels are expensive. For £400 per night, one would expect top notch. Very good but not exceptional, and why does the music have to be so loud in the lobby, even at 6.30 in the morning. I feel for the staff as much as the clientele."
