• The staff were absolutely wonderful ..very quick to meet any request possible.
• Rooms too small ..not 2 beds in a room.

“For small size of rooms and lack of a lobby I would rate this a 3 star hotel.”

• Location.
• No in room coffee service; hard to get a cab.

“Good location near the North end of Boston, TD garden (sports arena, convenient to beacon hill and (parts of) freedom trail by foot and very convenient to public transportation (the "T"). breakfast service was disappointing as well as alternative restaurants in immediate vicinity.”

• The decor and ambiance of the room and free wireless

“The staff are super friendly and helpful. The rooms are very comfortable, with a warm ambiance that belies the rather soulless public areas with good facilities such as free wireless access, iron/ironing board - great for business people!”

• Cozy elegant rooms. Complimentary wine and cheese in the evenings.
• Rooms were a little small, but well decorated and cozy.

“The staff at the desk was all friendly and interacted with the guests at the wine and cheese party in the evening. It was a great location, within walking distance to the Freedom Trail and some great restaurants and pubs. I would definately stay there again, on a trip to Boston.”

• The decor at the hotel was unique and inviting.
• The hotel was located in a rough area.

“The hotel was overall very clean and cozy, but the lack of a good location left much to be desired. The rooms did not have coffee makers and coffee was not available at the hotel, we had to walk a block to a shop to get a cup of coffee.”

• Very trendy boutique hotel, located near major attractions.
• Very small rooms.

“This boutique - type hotel was located in the center of Boston near Government Center and Quincy Market. The hotel was a very short walk to the North End, Quincy Market, Downtown Crossing, and two T stops. The staff was extremely attentive and tried their hardest to meet any expectations. The afternoon wine tasting in the lobby was a very nice touch. The interior of the hotel was tastefully appointed and had a very trendy feel. Although this hotel had a boutique feel, the rooms were extremely small, and even rooms with two beds appeared much to small for more than two guests. Overall, the stay was very pleasant, the rooms were extremely clean, and I would stay at the Onyx again in the future.”

• They had a nice wine/beer hour.
• They charged $5.95 for 15 min of internet access. No coffee in the room.

“The hotel was located within walking distance to everything. We did have a mishap though, we accidentally left a bottle of wine on the couch when we were loading up the car with our luggage and it disappeared within that few minutes.”

“Convenient location within walking distance of restaurants and historic sights. The staff knows the guests by name and greets them personally. They are approachable and encourage the guests to ask for anything that is needed. Their suggestions and recommendations were very helpful.”

• The decor of the hotel was very nice.
• The rooms were fairly small.

“We enjoyed staying at this hotel! We loved the modern and romantic decor. The staff was very friendly and was able to help us with directions, restaurants and anything we needed. The rooms were somewhat small however, very nicely decorated and comfortable. The bed linens were wonderful! The hotel is located a few blocks from all the action but this didn't really matter too much. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would return during our next stay in Boston!”
