Great Location

The Eliot is located in the heart of Copley Square and 15 minutes from Fenway Park. I was not too impressed with the bathroom. It was very small and needs updating for a 4 star hotel. The rooms are not too spacious but beds were confortable. The front desk staff were very nice and helpful.

Great place to stay in Boston

Went there this past Monday for opening day at Fenway Park. It was a 1/2 mile walk from the park in a wonderful area to go sight seeing. The hotel and staff were just great and I the room we stayed in was wonderful. Highly recommend.

Great hotel for out of town gathering!

We stayed in a 1 bedroom suite and planned a small gathering of friends to celebrate the upcoming wedding of our friend. It was a beautiful suite and we were able to gather in our room to have some wine and cheese before heading out to dinner. The hotel staff was very accomodating and even provided us with extra wine glasses and ice when we asked. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this hotel for a group or for a nice city break!

Nice night for Fenway

Great hotel only a few blocks from Fenway. Very nice beds and comfortable sitting room in the suite. We had considered staying at the Howie Jo right by the stadium, but after walking by it, we definitely did the right thing paying the extra money to stay at the Eliot. We got a much nicer hotel for the price. Make sure if you need two beds to call after booking. site said one King or two Queen beds, but the suite with two Queen beds costs $40 more.

Money-saving tip: Short drive from hotel

Instead of paying $36 for Valet parking, we went around the block (behind the Harvard club) and found a parking garage for $32 for overnight parking that is secured from 11 p.m. to 10 a.m. Saves a few bucks if you don't need to leave early the next morning.

Great Christmas experience

Being away from home over Christmas isn't fun but our stay at the Eliot made up for that. The room (a suite) was lovely and the staff were very helpful and cheerful. It would have been nice to have a refrigerator in the room and the room was a little cold, but overall the experience was wonderful. I would highly recommend the hotel for those who don't like the big hotel ambience.

Great place!

Lived in Boston for 5 years - this was perfectly central to EVERYTHING! Easy to get to Newbury, Pru, shopping, the T, Kenmore Square/Fenway. Valet was great and didn't think of car the whole weekend.

Great Boutique Hotel

Great hotel close to Park. Super friendly staff with all the amenities. Very quite, comfortable and easy to access. We were there to see the Dropkick Murphy's play three shows over St. Patrick's day. It was within walking distance of everything we wanted to do, Fenway Park, all the pubs and lobster restaurants. The only thing we found frustrating is, to get ice for the room, you had to call the front desk, and there was only a refrigerator for the honor bar, a separate refrigerator would have been nice.

Outstanding Hotel... Best Value!

This is a boutique type of hotel with a suite set-up (pun intended). This is a very romantic place, with a more traditional motif. The rooms are large, the bedroom is behind French doors and the bathroom is all marble. Rooms are very comfortable and quiet. Clio is inside the hotel - and I think it's the best restaurant in Boston - they never disappoint! Location is outstanding! I recommmend highly.
