I loved everything about this hotel. Great staff, the views were off the hook, semi-private patio, such a comfortable bed, huge room, lap blankets for star gazing, and bonusโ€ฆ the towels! Yes you read that right; the bath towels actually went all the way around. It was a first for me and the cherry on top. I highly recommended Back Bay Inn.

There was nothing not to like. My stay was excellent.

"I love Back Bay Inn for the location and bedding options."

A traveling companion was quite sick, and the staff allowed us a free late check out with option to book again for that night at a discounted rate if they were not feeling better -- I really appreciated this! Spending time in the gardens around the inn is wonderful.

Very small bathroom.

Beautiful location and nice property--our second time there. It seems like staff/ownership may have turned over since last year, but new crew seemed friendly and service oriented. Guests no longer have access to a kitchen, but the nice woman at front desk brought us a microwave upon request.

A few things disappointed, compared to last year. No breakfast voucher this time, and no access to kitchen. "Pet friendly" doesn't equate to $30 per night for the dog. Also, having a receptacle for pet waste would be nice. VERY hard to be responsible about that when you cannot find a can or dumpster anywhere.

The view of the bay was calming, the gardens were beautiful and we could to all the restaurants within minutes!

Our fireplace didn't work.
