We reserved a "deluxe" room at some additional cost over the "european" room and found it to be very cramped especially for close to $400 per night-- we've stayed in more spacious rooms for much less cost in Paris, London, and New York. There was one chair, no desk or writing space in the room and no other real amenities. On check in we learned that construction on the facade was in progress: no advance warning about this when we booked and no offer of apologies. Walls were thin and we heard more than we wanted to hear from our neighbors. Our toilet did not work and we were rudely reminded by hotel staff that the lower level restrooms were for guests only. (We would not be using the lobby restrooms if ours had been operational.) Location is great, but we did not have a good experience with the room or hotel staff and would certainly choose somewhere else on another visit.

We stayed at the Omni between July 5-10 at the peak of the touring season. Very nice spot conveniently located between 2 subway stations Park St (Red/Green Line) and Government Center (Blue Line). Though they offer overnight parking, it is outrageously priced at $36 per night. The bell hops were very helpfull and courteous. Would stay there again!

We just returned from a 5 day stay at the Omni Parker House over the 4th of July. The review before mine gave all the wonderful details, so I won't repeat. My husband and I would definately stay here again. The Select Guest Program is a must and makes you feel extra special--plus it can be used in other Omni properties.

The room was extremely comfortable (wonderful down comforter and linens) and the bathroom was sparkling clean (as were the rooms). The staff and Concierge were wonderful and there are safety deposit boxes available for valuables or laptop. Walking distance to many attractions and blocks away from the T. Be sure and try the Pear Martini in the Last Hurrah Bar---a wonderful place to unwind at the end of a day--cushy chairs with decor and courtesy of staff reminiscenc of bygone days while watching the world go by outside the windows. Will definately stay here again on our next visit.

Stayed at the Omni from June 29 to July 5. Beautiful, historic hotel near Fanueil Hall, Freedom Trail, Boston Common/Public Garden and New England Aquarium. All sites within 5-10 minute walking distance, Beacon Hill maybe 15 minute walk. Red line T station is located at Boston Common about a 5 minute walk. Hotel check-in was quick and bellman promptly brought our bags up to our room. Elevators can be a little slow but consider that the building dates from 1855--take time to view the carving and wood work in the hotel.

We booked an executive size room with two double beds, sofa (w/foldout bed), chairs and coffee table, and small TV. Room was very clean and well kept. Beds *very* comfortable and room a good size for two adults and two teens. Tiny but efficient batthroom. Consider becoming an Omni Select Guest member--we had juice and newspaper brought to our room every morning and turn-down service in the evening. Housekeeping prompt everyday and straightened up beds and left clean towels. Wonderful room to come back to after walking all day around Boston!

We enjoyed breakfast in the Parkers restaurant which offered a buffet (eggs, sausage, cereal, oatmeal, waffles, pastries, fruit) or you can order off the menu. We also had drinks and appetizers in Parkers bar which serves until late in the evening. Food at both restaurants very good, excellent service. Lots of Dunkin' Doughnuts nearby, Starbucks (right across the street), Ruth Chris' steakhouse, and other dining choices nearby. Try Legal Seafood (at Long Wharf near the New England Aquarium) and Bertucci's (Fanueil Hall) for terrific food and service. Take the time to enjoy a meal in the North End and stop at Mike's Pastries for dessert.

Neighborhood around the Omni is safe and we felt safe walking around Boston late at night. Some homeless people around Boston Common and Downtown so would avoid those areas late at night. Consider venturing out of Boston to MinuteMan Historical Park (Lexington and Concord) and the Adams Historical Site in Quincy. You can use the Red Line T/bus 62 or 76 to get to the National Heritage Museum and use the LibertyRide (operates seasonally) to see the MinuteMan historical sites in Lexington and Concord. You can take the Red Line T to Adams Historical Site (stop at Quincy Center). See the National Park Service website for more information: [--]

Highly recommend the Omni Parker House hotel if you are looking to stay in the heart of Boston near most attractions.
