Revere Hotel Boston Common

Location is excellent but there the compliments end. We were attracted for a 3 night stay by the advertised facilities especially the rooftop bar and swimming pool, neither of which were open.

Facilities were not open / available and WiFi was poor and intermittent. Under protest they refunded half the daily facility fee- The lobby and bar areas are small, very open and unwelcoming. The lobby has a strong scent which is described as a welcoming soothing feature. I found it nauseous and more like an air freshener or scented candle used to mask noxious odours. Other negatives are passive uninterested staff. There was no offer to assist with bags at checkin or departure. The concierge was not happy when i stopped my rental car legally at the hotel entrance to collect passengers and luggage, despite having informed reception. Again the was no offer of assistance. In terms of cleanliness, the room was clean but there was a half full glass on the corridor floor outside our neighbouring room for two days. I would not stay here again or recommend it.;;We stayed at The Eliot in Boston at the end of our trip for similar money and our experience could not have been further than that of the Revere Boston Common. The Revere is an Inn or Motel pretending and aspiring to be a luxury hotel and failing miserably.
