My husband and I stayed at the Ritz for 3 nights. The check in was easy and friendly, the room was spacious, clean and modern, the employees are wonderful and provide the service that is expected from the Ritz. I do miss the coffee/tea bar in the lobby in the morning - had to wait quite a bit at the bar for a coffee to go. The next mornings I just walked to DD. I am sure this is all due to COVID and hopefully will be back soon.

I’ve had a good experience with Ritz before but this was poor. 1. Bed linens and towels were not changed overnight but instead refolded and beds made again. 2. Food service was not good. Breakfast toast was soggy. Come on. 3. Wifi is $13 per day. Seriously, this is 2021 not 1999. 4. Gym is via equinox and is big but $15 per day. 5. There isn’t any room service after 11pm. Moreover. You cannot buy anything downstairs because they do not have hotel concessions. How is this a 5 start hotel when Hampton Inn has better amenities? The people were nice, the rooms were clean, but entirely not worth the price especially with all of the above. Oh, one more thing, no laundry on weekends! You cannot get clothes cleaned on Thursday and receive in a day or so. Nothing until next week. Absurd…

I’d like to preface this review by stating that I love the Ritz-Carlton brand and have been loyal for many years. We were stuck in Boston for the night due to Hurricane Henri, so of course I called the Ritz right away to make a reservation. Since I am a Gold Elite member, when I asked for an upgrade, the representative (Julia) on the phone happily confirmed a complimentary suite upgrade. She was so kind and wanted to make our stay extra special. When we arrived, we were greeted by the doorman who was very nice and eager to help. Upon check-in, the front desk agent tried to up-charge me to the suite that I was already assigned to. When I explained to her that I was already promised a complimentary upgrade she called her colleague and begrudgingly gave me the room I was guaranteed. She proceeded to remind me that I shouldn’t have been upgraded to a suite because I am only a Gold Elite member and it was a miscommunication on her colleague’s part. I have travelled to many Ritz properties (and other luxury hotels) in my life, and I have never been made to feel inferior to other guests. Normally front desk agents are happy to accommodate returning clients, especially when the hotel has the vacancies to do so. Everything was immaculate in the room, however, it was not up to normal Ritz-Carlton standards. There wasn’t even a coffee maker in the room! The service and food in the hotel’s restaurant, Artisan Bistro, were both very good. Unfortunately, I do not think I will be returning to this Ritz-Carlton location nor will I be recommending it to others.…

My wife and I stayed one very hot day and night at this hotel. So we spent much time in and close to the hotel. Basically, I expect perfection plus from a hotel like this. The bar, with Marvin at the helm, featured superb service, food, and cocktails. The staff at the door and curbside could not have been more attentive. We were always greeted by various staff as we entered and exited. We were in one of the "ordinary" deluxe rooms so I can't speak to the other rooms, but the decor in ours was modern and reminded me more of a regular hotel by the highway. I don't know, but I guess I expected elegance somehow. Wasn't there. Again, the amenities and details were there, mostly. Unforgivable, and we should have said something but we didn't notice until just before retiring, was a worn-out hole in the duvet cover. Again, minor, but not acceptable at this sort of accommodation. Location is excellent: right next to Boston Commons, Emerson College, Theater District, Chinatown.…

Dear scienceteacher53, Thank you for providing your feedback regarding your recent visit. We are especially pleased to learn you enjoyed the fine, personalized service provided by Marvin and the fine food and beverage offerings available in Artisan Bar as well as the warmth of our other ladies and gentlemen. It is disappointing to learn that our decor highlighting our local area was not to your liking and we certainly apologize for the defect in the linen. But we are glad to know you enjoyed the location and your overall visit and thank you once again for taking the time to comment. With much appreciation, William P. Bunce, General Manager

Lets keep this simple. If your bar is not ready to open and your service staff isnt trained… dont open your bar. For the first time ever…. It was “not a pleasure”. Unorganized. Poor service. Untrained staff in golf shirts that literally said to us after order 3 manhattans and calling the bourbon we wanted… “just be happy you’re getting 3 drinks” Ummmmm. No. Shame on the ritz.
