Great for a single person
Hotel 140 was in a great location (a block or so from Boston's Copley Square), it was clean, modern, hotel staff was professional and helpful--what more did I want for one night? I don't know if it would be comfortable for a long stay as the room was kind of smallish and there was no closet to hang things full-length. But I would definately go back again.

Immaculate and Convenient
We were pleasantly surprised that the Hotel 140 was completely renovated and immaculately clean. The location was excellent - right across from Copley Plaza. The offering for breakfast was meager but adequate. It would have been nice to have access to coffee or tea during our stay. We will definitely go back and share the good news with family and friends.

Fantastic location
The location is great for anyone who wants to skip having to rent a car -- it's a couple blocks away from two different T stops, and right off of Copley square, so it's pretty easy to find. My room was bigger than I expected.

A great position handy to Back
A great position handy to Back Bay rail and Boston underground. Walking distance to City. Coffee/Tea making facilities would be nice. Good light breakfast supplied. We stayed on fifth floor and was a bit clinical with no carpets in rooms or hallway. Free wireless internet & laundry facilities were a bonus. Would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting good a hotel at a good price

Incredible value in perfect location
Staff were amazingly friendly and helpful, especially with luggage, which we were allowed to offload early in the morning, before officially checking in. We were offered a free room upgrade on arrival, and could opt for a King or a Twin (2 large beds). I'd have preferred a firmer mattress, but that is absolutely the only fault I could find! The room had heating/aircon and plenty of desk space. Bathroom was huge, with a great shower and tons of hot water; quality toiletries and plenty of towels too. The location was even better than I'd realised - just over the road from the Back Bay subway, and very close to the John Hancock Tower, which is a useful landmark. Apparently the building was once a YWCA, now renovated and upgraded - which may partly explain the superb value. Oh, and it houses an intimate theatre, which gave us a very good performance the night we were there. I'd recommend this hotel unreservedly.

It was just okay.
The Hotel 140 reminded me of home when there were 10 kids. The floors were linoleum tile and nothing fancy. A no'easter came in and we were out of the room from 8 to 12 noon with the please make up room sign on the door, but they didn't. We were then gone from 4 to 6 PM and they still didn't redo the room. Can't say that I left the maid a tip. Everything seemed very clean however. Since I was paying for the room it really was a great value for the location.

Close to shopping and eating (Legal Seafoods) at the Prudential Center. Also all the shopping on Newberry Street. Mostly it was close to my meeting at the Fairmont Copley Square Hotel and a lot more reasonable.

a value hotel
It was a great price for the location, but the trade-off is obvious when you walk into a dormitory-like room(except very clean, tidy, and odorless). The parking was about $14 for 24 hours and was just a little bit down the street from the hotel on the same side (right-hand) as the hotel. You won't find a hotel sign; instead, look for the YWCA sign and it's in the same building.

Value Priced
Hotel 140 is priced attractively if you are looking for a no frills room for a short stay. The room was clean but on the small side. The bed could use a firmer mattress but all in all very satisfactory for a one night stay.
