Nine Zero is a boutique hotel in downtown Boston, about a block from Boston Common. While it is a maze of one-way streets to find this hotel, it's worth it.
1. The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. They will drop everything to solve any problems you have.
2. There is a wine-tasting in the lobby in the evening-- a nice touch.
3. The rooms are comfortable, with cozy chairs, CD players/flat screen TVs, wireless internet, fluffy robes.
4. It's about 6 minutes from the airport-- and through little to no traffic to get there.
5. There are a variety of excellent restaurants within walking distance. You can also easily walk to Newberry Street for shopping.
6. Our only issue with this hotel was that we ordered breakfast the night before we were to leave to arrive at 6:30 a.m. It came at 6:45 a.m. That 15 minute delay made us rush more than we appreciated.
If you get tired of the "touristy" Newberry Street, but like being in the city, Nine Zero is a great balance.
