I had a great time at The Boxer during my visit to Boston, especially because of its excellent location just a short walk from the TD Garden. The staff was friendly and accommodating, which made my stay even more enjoyable. However, the high parking fees and some minor cleanliness issues did dampen the overall experience a bit.

The room was comfortable and had all the necessities, but it felt a bit small for my liking, especially when navigating around the furniture. The bed was super cozy, but the blackout curtain didn’t fully cover the window, which was a little frustrating.

The front desk staff was incredibly cordial and helpful, always making me feel welcome. However, my experience with housekeeping was disappointing as the room cleanliness did not meet expectations.

Breakfast at Finch was enjoyable and reasonably priced, which was a pleasant surprise compared to some other hotel dining options. However, some small snacks in the room were quite overpriced.

The hotel offered various amenities like a mini bar, but I found the parking fees a bit steep. Having the option for room service and pet amenities was a nice touch, though.

My stay at The Boxer had its highs and lows. The location was fantastic, just a short walk from attractions like the North End and TD Garden. However, the service at the front desk was frustrating at times; I faced challenges when trying to get the right room type I had booked. The overall cleanliness of the room left something to be desired, with issues like mildew in the shower. Still, the comfortable bed and the complimentary drinks made my experience enjoyable enough to consider returning.

I had a mixed experience during my stay at The Boxer. While the central location is fantastic and the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, I faced several drawbacks. My room was quite small, making it a bit cramped for two people, and the extra fees felt excessive. Still, the breakfast was a bright spot, especially the oatmeal filled with fresh berries.

Rooms

The room I stayed in was really small, which made moving around challenging, especially with just a foot of space between the bed and the TV stand. It was better suited for a solo traveler, and I honestly wished for more hanging space or a luggage hold.

The amenities were decent, but I found the extra charges a bit annoying. For instance, there was a $69 resort fee, which I felt was excessive for what was offered. WiFi issues and a somewhat confusing room setup were also bothersome.
