I was in town for a conference and opted initially for The Colonnade because it was cheaper than the sponsored hotels. I am very glad I did that as the experience was much better than I would have gotten otherwise. The hotel was incredibly clean, friendly and helpful staff, and a lot of great little touches (chocolates in your room at check-in, apples in the fitness center, etc.).

It was also incredibly convenient being across the street from the Pru Center and with the Green Line T having a stop just at the front door of the hotel.

I will be making this my new go-to hotel for my trips to Boston in the future.
