The Ames seems to typify a recent trend where boutique hotels spend more time being stylish than being a good hotel. Driving up to the Ames, you may well drive past the Ames--no sign out front whatsoever. Upon arrival, we were rudely asked if the reservation was under another name. Then, when I showed the front desk the confirmation through... More

Stunning building, amazing decor and first rate service are only part of the story. The Ames is also in a perfect location for downtown, theatres, the common, the harbour, Little Italy and Quincy Market. Boston is a stunning city and the Ames really is the jewel. Wonderful bedding, great water pressure (very important), nice sized rooms and very clean. Loved... More

Modern design rooms in the lifestyle boutique hotel. Love the look and feel. Got a room upgrade which is always a bonus. Booked it through Tablet Hotels. My only comment was rat breakfast was less than impressive. Nothing wrong or bad, just nothing to write home about, special or unique.

I was lucky enough to get a great rate through "Living Social" and this hotel had the best location for our Spring college tour. The concierge were very helpful as they allowed us to arrive at 8;30am on the day of our reservation and leave our suitcases with them until we returned from our college visits. They even offered us... More

Really enjoyed my stay in relatively newly opened hotel, hide rooms, modern, good size. Really friendly and attentive service. Excellent bar, bistro area, great quality, super choice and keenly priced.

So glad my conference hotel booked up early because it meant my husband and I stayed at the Ames purely by chance! Absolutely worth the price for location, laid-back vibe, and comfort (and views). This was a proper grown-up and sexy hotel. The breakfast room is beautiful, looking out over the financial district as it wakes up, and something that... More

I travel for work 50% of the time and I absolutely LOVE when Boston comes onto my travel schedule, because it means I can stay at the Ames. The staff is amazing. They really take the time to get to know returning guests and on my third stay (months after my last stay) the front desk staff welcomed me by... More

On a brief business trip to Boston, I enjoyed staying at the Ames hotel. Interesting architectural history and in a fantastic location. I'd like to come back on vacation to explore the area a little more. My room was pretty large and very clean.
