"A dangerously precious concept... each of the nine rooms has been executed with panache in this 1860 town house on what is perhaps Boston's prettiest street."
"A business executive, tired of waiting for elevators in larger chain hotels might find solace here. The inn's historic ambiance and central city location... also makes it perfect for an elegant romantic getaway."
"All the rooms at this quaint, but elegant inn are decorated with Victorian antiques... along with all the little homey touches that make it so much more inviting than a huge hotel. Charm and coziness, convenience and luxury, all under one roof."
"Our hands-down favorite of the seven establishments we visited... The rooms are authentic Victorian... lavished with rich fabrics.. distinctively furnished.. the most luxuriant bed either of us has ever slept in.." "...we took a Dickinsian walk along Charles Street, with its gas street lights and Beacon Hill brownstones..."
