We needed a last minute place to stay for 2 nights before heading out to the Cape. This was literally the only place available to rent....so it was better than sleeping on the street. Just barely. The 2 bedroom we stayed in was on 5 or 6 levels, it was like a 1980's funhouse. You entered into the mini kitchen,... More

We stayed at 113 Beacon for two nights as part of a group of 5 adults (30-35 y.o.). Our unit was 6F - the front unit on the top floor, which is a bi-level 3 BR, 2 bath. Two of the bedrooms are bright and spacious while the third was a dark room, barely larger than the bed off the... More

The Back Bay is almost stereotypic Boston: lots of wood, British-style drawing room, etc. The rooms are large, the sun shades dense, the service impeccable. There is one small drawback: there is no place in the spacious bathroom to put your things, although there is plenty of room for a small shelf or table.Every other need has been anticipated. There...

Obviously there are different types of units available at the Back Bay Beacon. We stayed in 4R, and found the unit to be very poor. The furniture was Walmart variety and not clean, the window shades did not fit the window, the wind whistled through the bedroom window, the walls were very dirty, a rug frayed, there was no place...

Thank you Inn Boston Reservations for another lovely stay. We were fortunate to stay in the 2 bedroom unit at Back Bay Beacon during our visit this fall. The accommodations were comfortable, modern and convenient. The kitchen and living area afforded us a pleasant place to entertain friends during our stay.

We recently returned to Australia from our New England honeymoon, where we spent 9 nights at 16 Cedar Lane Way Beacon Hill in a 1 bedroom suite with a private rooftop terrace.

We stayed at the Back Bay Beacon in Early October 2012. We had originally reserved a second night, but after the first night we found the apartment to be so uncomfortable we had to find another place to stay. I've never left a hotel in the middle of a reservation, but there was no way we could get a good... More

We stayed in 4F for three nights in September and found the place to be clean, quiet, well maintained and with a full kitchen. The kids slept on the sofa bed and were comfortable. The best thing is the location. It's so close to the Public Garden that you could almost call it your own backyard. It's also very close... More

I also take no pleasure in giving a bad review, in fact, this is my first review. 113 Beacon is a lovely brownstone in the heart of Back Bay; close to the Public Garden, great restaurants, shopping and tourist adventures. Our unit was 1-Front, next to the street & front entry and had a gourmet galley kitchen, hardwood floors, &... More
