“Beautiful hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

The hotel itself was beautiful. Maybe a little expensive if you're a university student like me, where the bars sold $15 cocktails and the room, with parking and some room service came to about $250 - standard room, no view, very small. Not a place I would take kids, if I had any. But I was just there with my girlfriend, and we had no intentions of spending too much time in the room, other than when we were sleeping. A lot of history attached to the hotel too, as Charles Dickens, Nathaniel Hawthorne, JFK, and others used to hang out here. Also the apparent birthplace of both the Parker House Roll and Boston Cream pie. Some of the staff were a little dull, but get the right person and you can learn a lot about the fantastic building. One more thing, if you're using GPS be sure to put the zip code in as well as the address - apparently there are several School street's in Boston.

“Impeccable Service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

Every staff member my husband and I interacted with, were absolutely fantastic! We could not ask for better service. The room was tastefully decorated and very cozy and comfortable. The food at Parker's Restaurant was wonderful!! I highly recommend the Omni Parker House to anyone planning a visit to Boston!!

“Omni Parker”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

Stayed here as a couple and enjoyed our one night here (booked to be close to airport).
It's a perfectly good hotel - nothing particularly special but everything you could need. It's a very grand looking place at check-in but the rooms are very small and the corridors are a maze but I think thins comes with the age of the building.
All in all we had a very good night sleep there, it was comfy and functional.
Our coats were initially lost when they stored our luggage as we were early for check-in but these were found and delivered upstairs to us with absolutely no hassle.
The staff were efficient and we particularly enjoyed the starbucks on site...
Excellent place to explore Boston from.

“Mixed Bag”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

After reading alot of these reviews and just spending 2 nights at the Parker House, I agree with all the pros and cons. My husband attended a conference here and I came along. It's an historic hotel and I got the feeling I was stepping back in time - the room and hallway gave me a 1940's feel. The rooms were adequate, bathroom was small, and there could have been (should have been!) another piece of furniture in the room to put a suitcase and other incidentals on. Rooms were clean, beds very comfortable, location is great, close to shopping and small restaurants. I felt safe walking around and saw many people strolling in the evening. We had a banquet dinner in the hotel, which was very good. The famous Parker House rolls were fluffy and delicious. The only real drawback for me was the noise level. Guests walking down the hallway, cleaning people chatting all morning in the hallway, and even a child staying a few rooms away from ours - you hear it all. And for some reason I couldn't turn on the blower on the heating unit as white noise. Overall, I had a nice stay, but had to overcome the issues with the room.
