Frommer's "Your fellow guests at this 22-story hotel are likely to be other convention-goers during the week, and sightseers and families on weekends." Full review
Fodor's "Picturesque, Downtown Crossing is not, as it is packed with every conceivable kind of discount store and street vendor, but the area hums with activity." Full review
OysterUpscale
"The 498-room Hyatt Regency is in need of an overhaul -- it's outdated, disorganized, and not well maintained." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The Hyatt offers spacious rooms with modern decor and is located close to the up-and-coming Ladder District, with several fine restaurants and night-time entertainment venues nearby."
Star Service "Set in a dull part of town, two minutes' walk from the Downtown Crossing T station and filling a tall, sharply angled tower, this hotel benefits from Hyatt's adept management skills." Full review
Gayot "Style and subtlety are hallmarks here. A tasteful Waterford chandelier hangs in the stately lobby, and artwork and antiques are displayed discreetly throughout the interiors."
Zagat3.7
"The location of this 22-story chain outpost ("steps from the T and in the heart of Downtown") "makes it a winner" for business travelers and sightseers."
Star Service "In East Boston, this property is the second-best waterfront hotel in the Boston area after the Boston Harbor." Full review

Frommer's "This plush boutique hotel is the finest property in this evolving neighborhood, which grows more pleasant by the day but is a zoo before and after big events at the nearby TD Garden." Full review
OysterUpper-middle-range
"On a barren street in the desolate West End, the once-stylish Onyx Hotel is affordable and convenient." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Tucked away on a side street in the downtown area, the Onyx is a Kimpton Group boutique hotel located within 1.5 miles of city highlights like Faneuil Hall, Bunker Hill, and TD Garden." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This sleekly contemporary boutique hotel features modest-sized rooms decorated in a warm palette of black, taupe, and Chinese-lacquer red."
Rough Guide "The stark, glass-panelled front of this small luxury hotel belies an opulent interior."

Avoid the “Britney Spears” room – designed by her mother, it looks as you would expect the singer’s childhood room to look, complete with pink bible and fairy statuettes.
Star Service "This bonny boutique-hotel has a long list of added perks that come standard at Kimpton hotels (including nightly wine and cheese hour)." Full review
Gayot "This swanky member of the Kimpton hotel group enjoys a great downtown location for sightseeing by foot."
BlackBook "This modish boutique hotel attracts travelers (and their pets) who appreciate the finer things."
Zagat3.7
""Fantastic" and "very friendly" service stands out at this Kimpton brand property, which boasts an "excellent" Ruby Room lounge and "funky" interior swathed in red, black and white."
Lonely Planet "Done up in jewel tones and contemporary furniture, the Onyx exudes warmth and style – two elements that do not always go hand in hand." Full review
