Great location

Great location in regards to walking to most of Boston's tourist attractions. Accommodations were very good, price paid for a weekend night was $122 inc tax. Valet parking is $40\day...but parked in a nearby garage for $18/24 hrs weekend rate.

Loved the hotel's convenient location!

We (two couples) had only 1.5 day (2 nights) to see Boston (and Cambridge), so the hotel's proximity to many tourist's attractions was a huge plus. Concierge was very friendly and helpful.

Great trip

The beds were very comfortable with lots of pillows. The room was a bit small but we were only there to sleep, the rest of the time we were sight seeing. The hotel was very convenient to restaurants and sights. Only one block to the subway. We were celebrating birthdays and were surprised to get room service of 2 Boston Cream pies and a bottle of wine courtesy of the hotel.

Just about perfect

We stayed at the Parker House and found the staff to be delightful. We asked for early check in and we were told to call in when our plane landed and they will be happy to assist us and they were true to their word. The waiters at the resturant gave us such good service and made sure we had everything and then some. The concierge helped us with our tickets for the trolleys and tours and gave us detailed information. We also asked about the best way to visit Salem as a day trip and they gave us easy directions to the train station along with a guide of Salem. I will be returning to Boston and I will be sure to stay at the Parker House.

Beautiful!

The hotel was beautiful! Never have I slept in a more comfortable bed! Check in/check out was hassle free. Valet parking was professional and quick. Everyone was helpful, polite and cheerful. And the location of the hotel couldn't be more perfect to see all of Boston conveniently. Would stay here again & again!

Girls weekend away

Fantastic customer service as soon as you step in the front door. Accessible to subway, buses and waterfront. Only downside is that you have to be a member of Omni to receive the free wi fi and other perks. Front desk did not mention or encourage you to sign up to become a member, therfore it would not shock you once you receive the invoice of $10 for a short use of the wifi.

Go to Quincy market to purchase bus tours as the hotel only offers the more expensive tours a difference of $20 per person.

The Omini Parker Hotel in Boston

The hotel was terrific, we had such a great time. They were generous in their giving us a nice bottle of wine and chocolate covered strawberry's with a card from the staff wishing us a happy anniversary. Only negative is that if you don't like valet parking, then it was a bad experience. My husband and I did not want our car parked away, the valet person said we could park in front of hotel for 15min before we had to move the car. That he would hold onto our keys for us. The reason was that my husband and I wanted to tour Boston before parking car in garage. Needless to say the valet, did not hold to his word. When we returned in 10 mins our car was already taken to the garage. So it took another 35mins before we got our car back. I hated the hold up. Lesson, make sure that if they take your keys you watch them put them in pocket or one waits in the car. Over all the place is great and I would recommend it to all.. Diane
