  • Overall: Rating of 3.8 out of 5

    "This is a great hotel for business." source Hotels.com

    "If this place painted the rooms they would have such a great place." source Travelocity

    "I would recommend it to anyone seeking reasonable but good accomodations in Boston." source Expedia

    "Overall it was a very good value for the price." source Travelocity

  • Clean: Rating of 3.8 out of 5

    "Staff is attentive and helpful, rooms were spotless, and the view was spectacular." source Skoosh

    "i left my rings in the room after we checked out and called about half an hour later, and the cleaning lady brought them down from the room for me." source Hotels.com

    "It is clean and updated." source Skoosh

    "Not a luxury hotel, but clean and comfortable in a very convenient location." source Hotels.com

  • Location: Rating of 5.0 out of 5

    "We were up in the Boston area for some college visits and since I've stayed here before, I receommended it to the family visiting the schools." source Hotels.com

    "The fixtures and paint were all pretty old and I was a little shocked at first, however the room was very clean, the staff was friendly and the location can not be beat. If you're on your own dime the breakfast is a plus and you'll save even more money by being in a great location." source Travelocity

    "WeÂ’ve stayed at the John Hancock several times before, but returning there this summer, we discovered anew the convenience of its location -- just steps away from the T, across the street from Copley, and about two blocks from the park, but angled away just enough from street traffic to afford some quietness." source Expedia

    "This was tucked away in a side street but easy to find and in a perfect location." source Hotels.com

    "The hotel was in a great location and was an affordable price." source Hotels.com

  • Value: Rating of 4.3 out of 5

    "I've stayed here many times and the location/price/continental breakfast is a bargain for Boston's Back Bay." source Travelocity

    "ItÂ’s a great room for the price and the location, especially when itÂ’s simply a place to sleep." source Expedia

    "That said, location was good, price was fair, and the continental breakfast was more than adequate." source Travelocity

    "many errors in the reseration they had ( price and lengt of stay)." source Travelocity

  • Room: Rating of 3.6 out of 5

    "The response from the front desk was to offer to fumigate the room - we insisted on relocating and received a tiny room overlooking a rooftop which we refused and after being told repeatedly that the hotel was 100% filled finally were placed in a respectable room." source Skoosh

    "Once we exited the elevator to arrive to our room the walls were heavily marked with stains and marks which continued into our room." source Travelocity

    "Free computers available for use in lobby room." source Expedia

    "The room smelled of Lysol spray, as if it was not cleaned and just sprayed. Asked if we could see another room and it was WORST." source Travelocity

    "The room was the right size since it was just me & my husband." source Travelocity
