Hotel 1868 is the perfect place to stay when visiting the Boston area. The staff is wonderful, facilities are clean and updated and it is generally very affordable. I’ve stayed at other properties in the area but return happily to Hotel 1868 as they are just a cut above.

Martha, Lancaster

It was near Harvard and I could walk to my nephew's apartment and his performances on campus. There was a good coffee shop next door and the T station was across the street with a super nice agent in the Porter station. I got some kind of food poisoning so was pretty ill on my last day. They arranged for late check-out for a nominal fee, which I desperately needed and for which I was very grateful. My daughter got to spend time with her cousin and I was able to rest.
