Just stayed at Jurys Boston for five days over Paddys weekend. I work in the hotel business and can be very critical of other hotels but I must say I could not find fault with Jurys. The rooms were spotless, the staff were really friendly and helpful and the food...well not gourmet but american! I think I overloaded on fries. Just watch if you are having breakfast and do not want to eat much order off the a la carte menu as the buffet menu is great but costs $18.00 per person.

Jury’s is an amazing hotel, Building is stunning, and Décor is very tasteful and well done. (My husband is in the building trade and was impressed with the high standard of finish and detail.), Great location
Room was lovely, king bed was huge and lay out was great, plenty of hanging space in wardrobe. Room had a fridge with bottled water which was replaced every day, but you had the option of putting your own drinks in.
Bathroom again was spacious, with walk in shower, bath sheet towels and great toiletries you really only need to take toothbrush and paste.
Rooms were cleaned very day to a high standard and turn down service every evening.
We only had breakfast at the hotel which was fantastic; we had the buffet which was great value for money.
Cuff bar was excellent, staff very friendly as in the rest of the hotel, bar was great for lunch and evening drink, it seems to be popular with the locals as well as the guests.
Would highly recommend this hotel.

Boston it self was great, a lot calmer than New York City, which is where we normally go this time of year, be sure to pack warm cloths in March it was very cold but bright blue skies, rain one day in the 6 we were there.
Nothing seems to open until 10am, so no need to rush around, Freedom trail was good, long walk if your not used to it, so wear comfterbale shoes.
Quincy market is great, Cheers bar good for an afternoon beer and snack, the Aquarium is worth a visit, Shopping on Newbury Street were good and only a few mins from Hotel, as is the Copley and prudential centres.
Found 2 good restaurants with in walking distance from hotel, Cotton Wood (Tex mex) and Legal (Sea food) very reasonable, starters/main plus beers and wine for two was less than $100 with tip.
Recommend Boston, but 6 nights was more the enough to see what is to be seen.

This is an excellent hotel, well located in a fantastic city. On arrival, the staff are friendly and courteous. The room was reasonably sized and clean. The bed was very comfortable and there was a 32 inch TV. One nice touch was that 2 complimentary bottles of water were in the fridge and replaced every day.

The maid service was excellent and the room was thoroughly cleaned each day with a turn down service each evening. as mentioned previously, Cuffs bar is nice and very popular locally.

The hotel organise a bus to the outlet shops in Wrentham every day for $38 per person and it takes about an hour to get there. On the bus you will get a coupon book and if the aim of your visit is shopping this is very useful.

The hotel is well located in Boston and Boston Common is within 5 minutes walk of the hotel. For shopping Newbury street is 10 minutes away. The closest T station is arlington and even more shopping can be found in Quincy Market (3 stops on the green line to Government Buildings)

One restaurant worth mentioning is Stephanies on Newbury St. Really good fine dining and when we went on a Monday night it was full but luckily had made a reservation through the hotel.

Overall, a great city was made better by a lovely central hotel with staff whoi were very pleasant and genuine

This hotel is very central for shopping, sightseeing etc and from the moment we arrived, we were very well looked after by staff.

Cuff's bar has a great atmosphere, and seems to be the place to be after a hard day's work at the office!! I would say though that the food in the bar was disappointing.

A great place to have breakfast is the YWCA just round the corner from the hotel - don't be put off by the paper plates and plastic cutlery. The food was excellent and the place was spotless. Breakfasts were superb!!!!
