The Dagny Boston

The Dagny Boston

10/10 Excellent
"The Dagny was amazing, we dropped our bags off at concierge to John at 7am. He was great as well as the bellman Eddie, they really made you feel welcomed & at home. We were lucky enough to have got an early check in at 10am!! So we didn’t have to wait around until 4pm. Room was super spacious & clean. You’re in walking distance of everything, maybe 25-30 min. walk to local staples. Super safe stay in the Financial District. Definitely recommend staying here!!"

"This is the first time staying at one of these properties, but I would do it again in a heartbeat. The room was small, but modern and comfortable. I loved having the bed up against a huge window looking out over the city - a nice touch. The self-check in was new to me, but it was fast and easy. The food at the the rooftop bar was incredible. All and all, I'll definitely be staying here again, and I will look for the same property in other cities going forward if traveling solo."
