Sherman's Travel

Expert Review

It's little surprise that the Inn @ St. Botolph (its name pays homage to the patron saint of travelers) is being trumpeted as one of Boston's best boutiques since its late 2008 debut - it's a sister property to the much-loved XV Beacon .With a whimsical décor that blends traditional and hip (envision four-post beds dressed with funky zig-zag bedding), there are several size options for units, ranging from studios to two-bedroom suites. The Inn, housed in a 19th-century brownstone, especially makes budget-minded business travelers and families swoon, thanks to complimentary WiFi, national phone calls, and continental breakfast, as well as in-room kitchenettes and a fully-loaded gym.
