My stay at Envision Hotel Boston-Longwood was a mixed bag. The room was neat, clean, and comfortable, but the service and noise levels left a lot to be desired.

My stay at Envision Hotel Boston-Longwood was unfortunately marred by some issues. While I found the hotel to be clean and the staff generally friendly, the initial room I was given had an unpleasant smell and several broken amenities. The service was frustrating at times, particularly with the transportation arrangements.

Rooms

5.0

The first room I received was honestly the stinkiest I've ever encountered at a hotel. It had broken lamp shades and a cracked toilet seat that was just taped up. Thankfully, after I reached out to management, I was given a different room that smelled better, but it was still not worth the price.

Service

5.0

The staff was not the most helpful in resolving my transportation issues after spending a long day at the hospital. A desk clerk even hung up on me when I reached out for help, which felt really uncaring. On the positive side, the valet was the one shining light during my stay.

Location

The hotel is located near New England Baptist Hospital, which was convenient for my needs. Also, there's a tram stop right outside, making it easy to get into the city center. However, it did feel a bit sketchy at night when I was heading back.

Dining

While I didn't eat at the hotel's dining options, I did notice some snacks were available for purchase. They also had special food nights, which I thought was a nice touch, but there weren't many dining options in-house.

Facilities

6.0

The hotel had a small boutique vibe and was clean, which I appreciated. However, it lacked a restaurant and a pool, so if you're looking for amenities beyond just a place to stay, you might want to consider elsewhere.
