The room was everything advertized, clean, comfortable and above average in quality. We booked through hotwire so didn't know what were were getting but were very very pleased. It's not really close to all the attractions (except the Garden) but it was an easy walk to the Italian District and the Market area

My husband, son and I stayed at the Bulfinch for a weekend. The room was indeed quite small and ours happened to be right next to the elevator. I almost requested another room, but I thought we could survive one weekend and we did, although we heard everything. I attribute that more to oblivious people rather than a problem with the hotel itself. We truly were tripping over each other and our suitcases, but not a big deal because who wants to spend a lot of time in a hotel in Boston?

Everyone we encountered from the staff was very helpful and friendly, including giving parking information, restaurant suggestions and directions. Parking was about 3 blocks away and was $25 per day with no in and out privileges. Since we had already paid for an essentially useless car rental, we walked everywhere.

We did not try the restaurant, but the menu looked good. We ate at Johhnies (very close by) for dinner to watch a college baseball game. There is a Dunkin Donuts and Au Bon Pain close by for breakfast. One nice touch that nobody has mentioned is the coolers of water with lemon or lime in the lobby...wonderful after walking around Boston all day!

The location is nicely located for all the typical touristy stuff....North End, Freedom Trail, Faneuil Hall, Quincy Market and the Science Museum. All in all a great hotel in a great location at a great price.

I stayed at this hotel with my mother for 3 nights. The staff was very accommodating and very friendly. I would agree with the other reviews that the rooms were on the small side, but they were very nice. The location is nice as well, it's near the TD Banknorth Garden and walking distance to MGH, Beacon Hill, and the Boston Commons (if you are up for a good walk). The only complaint I would have was that the linens were dirty... The first night we stayed in the hotel we were exhausted and hadn't noticed, but when we woke up in the morning realized there was chocolate on the sheets and pillow cases. We immediately requested the linens to be changed, and the hotel staff was very helpful in making sure that was taken care of. However, even though our sheets were replaced with clean ones, they were replaced with stained ones. While I was confident the linens were clean, having stained linens is not necessarily the most comfortable or relaxing.

The Bullfinch is a perfectly located hotel, right in the middle of the city, and beautifully appointed. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the price was much more reasonable than larger, chain hotels in the area. The rooms were a little on the small side, but that seemed a small price to pay for a great hotel. It even has its own restaurant and room service.
