This is a great Morgan's group hotel -- great decor, rooms have very high ceilings with huge windows, comfy bed, great toiletries, nice restaurant, great mini-bar items, very convenient location. Its obviously got the art-deco South Beach thing going on (which I love). When I got to my room I was really happy I picked it for my trip..... and... More

We had a very nice one night stay at the Ames. The room was smallish, but not uncomfortably so, and really nicely designed in a minimalist style. The bed was extremely comfortable. And the ganache tart from room service was delicious. One thing to take note of if it's your first time here: the hotel is not marked at all,... More

My g/f and I stayed here for a weekend and were very happy with the experience. Beautiful hotel and very close to the Quincy Market area and a T stop. So we had no issue finding things to do. Also, the concierge Charles was extremely helpful getting us tickets to a Celtics and making a dinner reservation. More

I find it difficult to understand why this hotel is accorded so many superlative comments. That being said, believe me when I say the staff is great--- accomodating and friendly. However, the entire experience left me a bit cold. The decor is too sterile for my taste. It was also a tad bit expensive. I wouldn't have minded the extra... More

Thank you for giving us a shot. Our hotel and design are certainly not for everyone. For those that do prefer more modern and minimalist decor, we seem to hit the mark. I appreciate you trying us out, and if you do decide to come back again, you can certainly email me and I can help find a room that... More

My wife and I decided to plan a last minute (about 4 days prior) trip to Boston for New Years Eve. I looked around a little until I found the Ames which was right in the middle of everything pretty much. The price was really not that bad considering how late I booked. I did not go through the hotel's... More

Fantastic location for public transport. Close to the airport but fairly expensive cab trip due to Tolls. When I left to catch my Acella train to NYC, I walked to the station The hotel was basically a mini W hotel. Really good personal service with comfortable modern, but not overly modern rooms. The restaurant in the lobby is BRILLIANT. The... More

The Ames is in a very good location. Faneuil Hall market is just a block away and Boston Common is only a few blocks away (less than 10 minutes walk). The Hotel wasn't easy to spot. I had to pull the car over and check that I had the right location. Then you realise the Hotel is where you thought... More

A quick note about our parking; downtown Boston is incredibily expensive unfortunately. Our prices are in line with valet parking costs at other area hotels. I hope you'll try... More

First, let me say that the Ames is one of the nicest hotels I've stayed in. The room decor is very nice indeed, with clean white lines and brilliant use of the space. We booked a corner view room, and had a great view of the surrounding area. Also, the door staff were very friendly and helpful. I would give... More

What a compliment! I'm so glad that you enjoyed your stay! The corner rooms do have lovely views, and I appreciate your comments about the staff! I'm terribly sorry about your experience with the restaurant and front desk. That is very uncommon, and I apologize that you didn't have an a+ experience. When you come back, please email me in...

As seasoned travelers to Boston, I was unsure about this hotel at first. However, the location was so good, I could have put up with a few flaws. That said, there weren't many. The corner room was excellent, great city views from the spacious windows. The room was clean, sleek and very comfortable. Can't say enough about the bellman, who... More

As locals, we were excited when we finally got a chance to stay here for a wedding. The hotel is actually in a beautiful historic building in Boston. Luckily we knew exactly where it was or never would've found it! If you're not familiar with the area, definitely use a GPS or get an exact location with landmarks. It's in... More

As you can see from other reviews, service is something that is consistently praised, so I'm so sorry that was not your takeaway.
