Hotel's Favourite
We spent a phenomenal weekend with our adult children to celebrate our wedding. The hotel was phenomenal. Rooms, service etc. But it was the people who worked there who made it an incredible experience. From the doormen to the bellman to the front desk to the reservations people to housekeeping….to a person they could not have been nicer, friendlier or more accommodating. We would go back in a heartbeat. The restaurant UNI catered our wedding and that was beyond expectation as well. They are very well know for their food, but again, it was the people who made it all special. The GM, Event specialist, and serving staff could not have been nicer or more wonderful. It makes you wonder how all of these amazing folks could work at one place. We love The Eliot. And let me say thank you again to all of those special people who made our celebration the best it could be. Thank you. In case I forgot, the rooms are beautiful and authentic, not cookie cutter or all the same. And the food at UNI….amazing doesn’t begin to describe the food. …

I wish to thank this guest for taking the time to review her stay and for the beautiful compliments and high ratings. It's always an honor when someone chooses to celebrate a momentous occasion, such as a wedding, at our hotel, and I am delighted we were able to create an exceptional experience for such a special stay. Our friendly and genuinely caring staff is committed to ensuring we care for our guests as best as possible. I'm delighted this was evident and that it made a difference. Our Japanese gastropub, UNI, is truly an amazing restaurant that raises culinary arts to the highest level. It's gratifying to know they could also share in the contribution to a "phenomenal wedding weekend."

I wish to thank these guests for taking the time to review their stay and for the high rating. It is always gratifying to know when guests have had such a positive stay experience. The Eliot has won awards for our housekeeping services, something we strive to make a priority, so it is disappointing to know this experience was "marginal." We will explore and hopefully this was an anomaly, but I am delighted these guests "definitely recommend" the Eliot and "will stay in the future. It will be my pleasure to welcome them back again.

Amazing location in the Back Bay area, rooms are very comfortable and spacious, cookies are excellent. We stayed for 2 nights - could walk to Fenway Park, down Newbury to the Public Gardens and Boston Common.

The pillows are the fluffiest - best in class. Pure bliss when sleeping yet subtle and firm when watching TV. Really couldn’t ask for a better pillow experience. They must fly them in from Egypt, with stops in Italy and France. Did I mention the pillows are great

Wonderful old fashioned hotel in the heart of Boston. Great beds. A little dated in that you can tell it's very old, the bathroom layout was weird, etc. But, the front desk aimed to please and overall was a great little hotel.

I love the location of the Eliot and try to stay here every time I am in Boston to visit my sons at college. The staff are very attentive and the rooms are well appointed and comfortable. Uni is a special restaurant for treat of an elegant dinner out. We like the breakfast buffet and the valet parking is very handy. A good boutique hotel spot for discerning travelers.

I wish to thank this guest for taking the time to review her stay and for the kind compliments about our rooms, location and staff. The HVAC system in each room has individual controls. I regret that it was not evident to this guest and that the sound was loud, but am gratified that the overall stay was enjoyable. I hope to have the pleasure of welcoming this guest back once again.
