"The room got some smell when we did our checking, but overall good. The shared bathroom is clean and provides many amenities more than enough. Parking discount is available at arrival; be sure to check it out."

"My husband and I loved our stay at the XV Beacon. Our room on the 9th floor was very spacious and, since it was on a corner of the building, had two windows both of which opened a few inches to the outside. Even in July we prefer to sleep with the windows open rather than with air conditioning. The hotel was very quiet with minimal street noise. The bathroom had a good amount of hangers for our toiletry bags, convenient plugs, and super-thick towels. One aspect of the room to note: if you prefer not to have your room serviced, there's a switch next to the bathroom to turn, which illuminates a red light outside your room, thus alerting hotel staff you do not wish to be disturbed. There is no card to hang outside your room to communicate that wish. We ate one breakfast in the restaurant, Moo, and enjoyed it. My order of rye toast came out nice and warm, which is unusual in any restaurant. The bacon my husband ordered was delicious, although, if you want it fried crispy, best to ask for that. Shout out to bellman Owen for managing our bags at check-in and to concierge David for pointing us to nice dinner options whilst we were there. All-in-all, the XV Beacon made our visit to Boston super-enjoyable. If we return to the city, we'd definitely choose the XV Beacon as the place to hang our hats."

"Very nice room and view. Good location, next to Trader's Joe, room was clean, service was superb, all good."

"A pleasant stay. If you have luggage and need to take the subway, this hotel is very convenient. It is very close to the subway station and has an elevator. Although the room is relatively small, the planning is relatively reasonable. Two 28-inch suitcases can be placed. The hotel environment is relatively modern. Mineral water is provided every day. If cleaning is required, please inform the front desk in advance. It would be more perfect if there is a microwave and a refrigerator."

"Old hotel, small room. No view. No coffee machine. Friendly staff at the front desk. Large parking lot for $30 a day. Free coffee. Great location, close to Harvard and MIT."

"Great location! There are several good restaurants right across the street."

"Very good"

"Room is clean. Bed comfortable."

"The room was clean, and I was happy to find lemon water and cucumber water available!"
