Verified reviews of Boston Hotel Buckminster

Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked in recently:
"Review"
Overall score4.0/ 5
I loved the view from our room. The room phone wasn't working but three other rooms were having phone issues. They got that fixed. The front desk people were great. They helped us with taxi's. It was the first time my companion coming to the U.S.. One this though. You should state the Fenmore Grill hours on your website. We thought it would be open for supper. A note stating the Grill during the baseball season and hours after the baseball season. If we come back to Boston for another teaching conference we will stay here.

"Good Hotel"
Overall score4.0/ 5
I stayed in room #526. The crown molding all around the room is coming loose. There is a long crack running down the wall on the bed headboard side.
