  Our 4 day stay began with the disappointing news that we would not be able to modify the last day of our stay... that we could choose not to stay but would be charged for the final night whether or not we used the room. I mistakenly thought 72 hours notice would be enough to cancel one night. The room itself was extremely small but we can live with that - it's an old hotel in a city. However, it seems the Omni Parker House's best days might be behind it. The room had quite a bit of deferred maintenance. Some of the bathroom fixtures were rusting, the cheap plastic baseboard trim was loose (removable) instead of being properly affixed (or better yet, being wood). Overall, it appeared tired. I've stayed at this hotel a couple of times in the past and sought it out to return but over that intervening six or seven years, the quality has diminished. Great location but for the next trip to Boston, I will definitely choose to stay elsewhere.

  Rooms are great and the whole atmosphere of the place is very classy. The smallest rooms are a tad too small but nothing that's too much of a problem. They usually have Groupon deals as well so you can get a room here for a great price. Use some of the money you save to get a bigger room. Treat yourself!

  This place is really nice. Makes me think of the hotel on The shining. The big issue that I am having with this hotel is the amount of money that I paid in relation to the size of the room that I received. The room that I am in is not an inexpensive one by any means yet it can barely hold the king size bed along and desk and desk. I have very little space to walk inside the room. If you're looking for something a bit more spacious then I'd recommend either the Westin Copley or the Liberty Hotel for nearly the same price in the city.

  Overall a nice but aging hotel. Service is excellent. Has an old-world charm to it, feels like 50-70 years ago it was really nice, but it rode a fine line between charming and dingy/old. My room was fairly small as well, but very comfortable bed. Good shower/water pressure, and mirror didn't fog up (minor appreciated detail).

  I have enjoyed several stays at this establishment. For those of us who enjoy lodging with tradition, this hotel has the goods. A very quiet bar combined with a more open-concept bar in addition to a more formal dining room makes staying in, especially during inclement weather, a viable option. The bedrooms tend to be smaller in keeping with earlier hotels but I view them as very inviting for single travelers or couples. Very conveniently located downtown/close to T stops. Definitely not a cookie-cutter style of hotel as now often found on the East coast.
