Corporate guests receive complimentary WiFi, printing services, and proximity to companies like General Electric and Liberty Mutual. Event spaces accommodate up to 45 guests with preferred partnerships at Hampshire House.

“This boutique property, nestled in a prime spot near Beacon Hill, certainly wins on location, and the friendly staff seal the deal. Though it seems to lack a distinct personality, and the lobby music might miss the mark, it is still a gem. With exceptional dining experiences and curated local excursions, this hotel is a blend of historical aesthetics with modern comforts.”

stationary bikes water dispenser rainfall shower

The gym has three treadmills and two stationary bikes. A water dispenser and towels are also available there. The room featured two separate sinks and a rainfall shower, it was nice.

The minibar prices seemed expensive! though I didn't check all items.

Mixed Feelings About This Stay

broken phone noisy air conditioning

The phone in my room didn't work. It was quite inconvenient. I had to walk to the front desk for every little thing. the air conditioning was rather noisy. It made it difficult to sleep, so I had to switch it off.

convenient location friendly staff comfortable rooms cleanliness

i really liked how convenient the location was to the inner harbor. the onsite restaurant made it easy to grab breakfast and an evening cocktail! the staff were helpful and friendly during my whole visit. the rooms had a nice, comfortable feel and i appreciated how clean everything was.

i wish the gym had slightly more equipment though, it felt a little limited for a hotel of this size.

mediocre stay

small gym insufficient equipment

the location proved convenient for accessing various attractions.

the gym was small and lacked sufficient equipment for a proper workout routine, offering limited options for cardiovascular and strength training this fell short of expectations for a hotel of this caliber.
