My stay at Found Hotel Boston Common had its highs and lows. The location was fantastic, conveniently close to Boston Common and plenty of dining options. However, the check-in process was frustrating, and I found the rooms to be smaller than expected. While the staff were friendly, the issues with the room left a sour note on my experience.

Rooms

The room was very small and felt stuffy despite the AC running. It lacked sufficient cleaning, and the decor was quite unpleasant with CFL lighting.

Service

Staff were friendly but not very effective in resolving issues during check-in. They were polite but also seemed to work under a manager who didn't prioritize customer satisfaction.

Dining options were limited and served off plastic plates, which felt unappealing. The breakfast was basic and not very exciting.

Facilities

The hotel had some amenities like free coffee in the lobby and an elevator, but the facilities felt lacking overall. A luggage rack would have been nice.

I had a mixed bag experience at Found Hotel Boston Common. The location is amazing for exploring the city, close to lots of attractions, but the service and room quality left much to be desired. I faced issues with noise from construction and the bed size, which made for an uncomfortable stay.

Rooms

My room was pretty small and a bit worn out with peeling paint. The bed was also not ideal for two people, leading to an uncomfortable night. I guess I wasn't expecting a palace, but a little more comfort would have been nice.

The staff were generally friendly and helpful, but they seemed a bit overwhelmed. I didn't have a great experience when I checked-in; there was a long wait, and the person at the front desk wasn't very accommodating when issues arose.

You can't beat the location! It's just a short walk to plenty of restaurants and attractions, making it easy to explore Boston by foot. Even though some noise from construction started early, being close to the Freedom Trail was a major plus.

Dining options at the hotel weren't great. The breakfast place is tucked away and lacks seating, which was disappointing. I wished I had better recommendations for local seafood spots from the staff.

Facilities

Facilities like laundry came in handy, and the hotel was clean enough for my stay. However, some areas seemed in need of a makeover to really enhance the experience.

I recently spent a night at Found Hotel Boston Common and truly appreciated its charming historic vibe. The location is unbeatable, just a short walk from Boston Common, making it easy to explore the city. While my room was clean and the bed was comfortable, I did find the shower quite slippery. Overall, it was a positive experience, especially considering the friendly staff that made my stay more enjoyable.

While there wasn't coffee-making facilities in the room, the hotel provided a coffee station in the foyer, which was a nice touch. However, there were no other dining options for breakfast, so it's something to consider.
