Beacon Hill Hotel

Quite possibly my favorite hotel in the USA. Charming, stunning, makes you feel both pampered and at home at the same time. Location is sensational. Remodel must have cost a fortune every detail is perfection.

Re opening Tue the 18th, Fantastic new renovations, friendly staff Tom, Micah and China are amazing! Food & drinks: Great bar and restaurant

Rooms are small and dated, but location is fabulous. A bit of bait and switch - I chose the place because they had breakfast, but after I reserved, my confirmation said they didn't because it was winter, but that there would be coffee and pastries in the lobby. There was coffee and ice water, no tea, no pastries. But the manager did get me some. Dinner at the bar was great. Good food and felt like a cozy neighborhood place.

Went here for brunch for the first time. Very elegant and nice inside. I was a little confused by the cloth napkins--they were literally old dishtowels. The food was really good. I got the vanilla pancakes with caramelized bananas. Let me ask you: would you expect the bananas to be warm or cold? I was expecting warm...and they were ice cold. Wasn't worth complaining over because we never saw our server. The mimosa was ok--more tart than sweet, which was an interesting sensation for the taste buds. Otherwise, it was a good meal in a lovely neighborhood.

Easy to get a large table for 7. Appetizers were great especially the meatballs. Beer selection was very limited but wine was good to great. Everyone enjoyed their meal and they were pretty tolerant of us being boisterous on spite of the high end feel to the place.

Well, the rooms are nice, comfortable. There is no water in the room or coffee facilities. The price they charge I would have expected a lot more. This is not a 5 star hotel! It's obviously in Beacon Hill, is this why they charge so much? The reception staff were good, offering where to go for breakfast etc. The bar staff!! She did not want to get the bill correct and certainly had an attitude. We ordered 5 drinks and she insisted in charging for 6. When I explained twice she finally gave us a bill and only charged us for 4 drinks. This was not the point but the service was shoddy. I would not go back.

This is a review of the bistro only. I have not stayed at the hotel. I've eaten at the bistro a few times and used to like it, but not so much any more. Of the eight entrees on the menu this evening, only six were available. Service was pleasant, but the waitress was dressed in a football jersey while serving in a room with white tablecloths. For me, a formal room demands formal attire. I dressed up before I went there and expected the staff to show some style too. The narrow and overheated room was noisy even though the room was only about half full. Altogether, not the best experience.

It's a quaint hotel in a great location. The bistro food, Cobb salad and bruschetta are excellent! The apple dessert to end the flourless chocolate cake need improvement. As for the rooms themselves, our room is in the need of a refreshment... Shower tiles were dirty, the tub faucet was coming off the wall and the bathroom sink was cracked. With all that we still loved it and we would stay there again.

We had the Sunday brunch here and it was terrific! The french toast and pancakes were moist and so tasty you don't need syrup. My favorite was the bacon that tasted freshly smoked! It was a nice touch. It's also located in a cute area to wander around.

We had brunch at the bistro, food was excellent! AND we were there with our 18 month old daughter, the staff was very accommodating to her, she was given crayons and a stuffed animal duck. Great experience all around!
