Excatly what you'd expect from a Four Seasons

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 29 Apr 2015
The Four Seasons in Boston delivers exactly what you expect; the highest quality service, well furnished rooms that are immaculately clean, excellent facilities and a timeless elegance. The lobby sets the tone for the rest of the hotel with a stunning floral arrangement and pristine decor. A nice touch were the apples on each floor ... always a good snack to have at hand. Check-in was quick, professional and welcoming. The room was of a good size, well laid out with all of the amenities one would expect and a very comfortable bed. The bathroom had an oversize shower that was perfectly adequate. Room service menu was very good and service was fast and efficient. If you are looking for a hotel near Boston Common, the location is perfect. There are a number of good restaurants in the area and the hotel has easy access to Boston MTA. The Four Seasons may not have "edgy" decor or funky rooms. What it does have is a quality of accommodation and service that is timeless and hard to beat.

Our staff very much enjoyed reading your kind review, and all of us were so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed your experience with us. I was so delighted to share your compliments about check in with the Front Desk team, your comments about room cleanliness with our Housekeeping staff, and your feedback about Room Service is our In-Room dining staff. We certainly strive for perfect service, and it really made our day to hear that we were successful in making your stay a great one.

We hope when travels bring you back to Boston from Chicago that we can once again be your home away from home. Best Spring wishes from all of us at Four Seasons Boston, and we hope to see you again in the very near future.

Perfect location, top-notch staff and elegant, clean, luxurious rooms. We enjoyed our anniversary at the Four Seaons Boston -- and the FnB Director was so thoughtful -- as they brought us chilled champagne with specially decorated pastries with Happy Anniversary inscribed on them. Our room overlooked the Boston Commons, and yet was so quiet. Great spot for a long weekend escape.

Thank you kindly for your thoughtful remarks about your stay, all of us were so thrilled you enjoyed the extra touches we could provide during your weekend escape.

Whether you are a sub 3 or a sub 5 hour marathoner, the staff gives a standing ovation all afternoon for the runners. They go out of their way to make you feel like the most special person on the planet. Thank you 4 Seasons!

Room tip: View of the Public Garden is wonderful.

Dear Godiva33,

We were thrilled to have you with us in Boston all the way from sunny San Jose, and we are grateful for the time you took to share your comments about your experience with us on Marathon Weekend. It’s truly one of our most favorite events of the year, in large part because we always enjoy welcoming runners from all over the world—and at all levels—to the Hotel for this iconic race.

We are just so pleased that you enjoyed your stay, and we hope to see you back again next year. Our lobby cheering committee will be in place once again, as well as all the special amenities we enjoy offering our guests on this special weekend. Do come back next year, if not sooner! We’d be thrilled to have you again as our guest.

The Four Seasons is simply the best place to stay if you are coming to Boston for the Marathon. The location right on Boylston Street couldn't be better: only minutes from the bus loading in the morning for the ride to Hopkinton, and perfectly located just minutes from the exit chute past the finish line. More important, the entire hotel environment -- staff, lobby, restaurant -- created an exciting, memorable feeling that made Marathon Weekend all the more fun for the runner and non-runners in our party.

As I stayed on multipl occasions on this facility in check in I was informed that will have a new updated room w larger bath room. Unfortunately the room had a chemical smell secondary to construction which was a problem leading to allergic breathing problem for my spouse .
As I called the front desk regarding the issue I was put on hold and later conveyed to await for morning for a new room. This was not satisfactory and I walked down to the reception area and ask for the nite mgr who guided us to a new room and 1AM I move my luggage to the new room. I thank the direction for the nite mgr timely intervention. The rest of the stay was uneventful.

Room tip: Ask to see the room for the price
