Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Newbury Boston is appreciated for its prime location across from the Common and along Newbury Street, making it easy to explore the city and enjoy shopping. Guests often highlight the modern, spacious rooms, with some on higher floors offering lovely views, though some have noted issues with temperature control. The Contessa restaurant on the 17th floor is visibly a popular spot. Many guests also found it a good value, especially when taking advantage of offers like the 3-for-2 deal.

The location was acceptable. It was close to many attractions.
I was disappointed by the elevators. The wait times were excessively long. The room lacked adequate temperature control. It remained too warm throughout my stay. The pillows were also uncomfortably soft.
