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.

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.
