What guests think

Across many reviews, Pennyweight Hotel Boston, Curio Collection by Hilton earns praise for its walkable location near TD Garden and modern rooms, while renovations and reduced amenities often temper expectations, especially for on-site dining and lobby spaces.

Guests frequently highlight friendly staff and easy check-in, though service can feel inconsistent at times. Rooms are often compact and some report noise or HVAC and hot-water quirks. Valet-only parking is pricey and can be slow during busy periods. Expect a stylish, central base suited to events and sightseeing rather than full-service amenities.

The only thing that I would say was a disappointment was the cost of parking. If you’re paying a lot of money to stay at a hotel parking should be included, but everything else was very good. I loved the decor! Very new and updated.

The hotel advertised a bar in the hotel, it was under construction the hotel, so only 1 elevator, nothing at the hotel to do, it should have stated it was under construction, as 300-400 a night was very unreasonable for this condition

The room was excellent, very nice, and very clean, although maybe a bit on the high side for price and amenities. The service was not good. They charged me an extra "destination" fee that they said was usable at the market and restaurant/bar, but didn't apply the credit on check out. They close the bar/restaurant early, and we had to sit for 20 minutes until somebody came to take our order, even though we were the only ones there.

Everything was very nice. Loved how close the hotel was to the Garden. Only downside was the valet parking. So many cars and one person dealing with them. He was great and took care of us but he needed help! 😊

Construction in the main lobby is a thing. But it was more than that. Yes the entire lobby was a construction zone. But one elevator did not work, the toilet plumbing had a leak, the valet system to request the car did not work (which made me late for a meeting). Was not worth the $400 + price tag.

We stayed at the Onyx in July and the only part of the hotel that is open right now is the rooms. The lobby, restaurant/bar, fitness room are all under construction. This was not stated on the Hilton website or Expedia. Disappointed in Expedia, we have used them many times to book all our trips in the past few years and we felt scammed during our stay in Boston. The rooms are nice but without the amenities, it’s not worth the price right now.

The one outstanding thing, sadly, was the cleanliness of the coffee bar and of the refrigerator. there was no regular coffee and no condiments at all. In addition, the inside of the refrigerator was visibly dirty, and had obviously not been wiped down. The staff was courteous, but also, seemed undermanned for the volume.

The Pennyweight is a great location if you want to be close to TD Garden. The street it’s on is OK although we noticed a few closed businesses. The hotel looks to be a building conversion or recent upgrade. The lobby is small but modern. Rooms are a bit tight but OK. Our view was of a mechanical shaft. The bathroom was really modern with the tile and fixture choices which we liked. However the hot water took literally 10 minutes to warmup. There is also no housekeeping service I think they only change bedding or provide new towels if you ask. Overall OK but could be better.

Mostly pro’s for this property the few cons are our room 610, was located near some type of fan/motor running which was loud enough we almost asked to change rooms. The light in the bathroom is automatic and basically turns on, on your way in; even with the light turned low it’s a blast of light during the night. Closing the door doesn’t help as it’s frosted glass. Other than that the staff was accommodating with good customer skills. We’d definitely stay again but Uber in from outside the city lol those streets are crazy!

We enjoyed our one night in Boston at this hotel. The rook itself was modern, clean, and nicely decorated. We easily walked to the North End and the New England Aquarium which were our priorities for our quick visit. The room was quiet as it was not on the street side of the building. Downside to that is that our view was just of another building, but not a big deal. The continental breakfast was fine, bagels, cereal, danish, fruit, yogurt, coffee and juice. Two cons stand out, the water did not get warm enough in the evening for a shower, but it was fine in the morning. So, I’m not sure what that was. And a coffee maker in the room would have been nice. But that’s minor. We got the room for $160/night which was definitely a good deal. The valet parking cost $62 which might be a bit more than area garages, but the convenience was worth it. Overall, I would stay at this hotel again.

Spur-of-the-moment decision to stay at Pennyweight based on proximity to Boston's North Station. Compared to three other nearby options, price was right. Two nights. If you're looking for a place to sleep and shower and want location near North Station, TD Garden and North End, you overlook the very small room (king), limited in-house dining, limited lounge seating, and neutral lobby ambience. But hey, plenty of eating and socializing options nearby. Friendly front desk and overall clean environment.

Had to retrieve my own car from valet due to the service being closed at 6:15 am and was not informed when dropped my car. Requested rollaway. Called day of reservation, was told it’s in comments that we need one, check in and I request it, she’s says ok. At 9:30 pm “where is roll away?” I’m then informed they don’t have them anymore since they ve renovated hotel. Disappointing experience and no effort by staff to apologize or offer solution.

They are renovating the lobby and restaurant so no breakfast included. It would be nice if breakfast was included for the price they are charging for 1 night.I asked if breakfast was included during check in and was told no, in a tone that deal with it. The front desk during check in was rude. I am not sure what kind of position they think they are holding but front desk should be welcoming the guests and not make them feel condescending. Today is the 3rd day since check out and i still didn't get my invoice. Other than that hotel is clean and nice location.

We loved the property and would love to stay again. The room was perfect and the location was amazing. The only negative I have was the valet service. Upon checkout there was only 1 person working the valet. The lobby was full of people trying to leave but unable to get their vehicles. We ended up walking with the attendant to where our vehicle was with several other guests and picked up our own vehicle. The hotel should advertise that this is how their valet service works or have the appropriate amount of attendants to fulfill the service.

The room itself was very clean but the elevator Is very old and did not look like it has been cleaned in a very long time. The staff at the front desk were not very friendly or attentive. They let us drag our own suitcases even though two of them were standing there. Also walking to the north end was convenient, However the block closest to the hotel did not feel particularly safe with drunken/high people laying on the sidewalk. Might be safe for a group of people, But I would not recommend one or two women making the trek by themselves.

The two things I didn’t like were 1) the tv, you could not hook your phone to it so you were stuck with whatever was on the limited cable channels and 2) they billed it as having breakfast which is the main reason I chose it and it was only pastries and stuff, not a full breakfast which I thought was faulty advertising.
