What a delightful and comfortable hotel. The charm made me smile out loud a few times. Have stayed in both the rooms and the airstreams. Very cool. Couldve lived without loud door sounds at night but im a light sleeper. Loved the breakfast, heated pool and records.

We stayed at the Verb while visiting our daughter in college. What a fun vibe this place has! From the music memorabilia displayed all over the hotel, to the unlimited vinyl options to enjoy back in your room, this hotel makes you smile from the moment you walk in. The breakfast space is warm yet edgy, with great breakfast options to enjoy. It’s an easy 15 minute walk to Back Bay through the park which is where we needed to go most days, but the Verb is also spitting distance from Fenway so plenty of food options right around the hotel as well.

I stayed here with with a few co-workers during the first snowstorm in Boston. The hotel has a cool vibe, great location, close to work. Rooms are clean, giving music studio, on the road music type of vibe. Free continental breakfast is always a plus. Each room has its own record player and you can go to the front desk grab vinyl records from different genres to play in your room. The only thing we didn’t like is the shower, it splashes everywhere coz there’s no door, only a divider that as a hole in it which makes your sink wet. Also, we worked nights and the housekeeping staff were very loud, and I’m not exaggerating, literally yelling outside your room. We were very happy that the heated pool was open even when it’s snowing outside. Other than that, the whole experience was good.

I had a wonderful experience at this hotel from pre-check in all the way to check-out. My room was not ready since I did arrive early but I was called as soon as it was and my luggage that was on hold was already placed in my room. Such a cute music vibe, there’s even records you can choose to take to your room and play on the record player. Coffee and water available all day and breakfast included. Breakfast attendants Mirian and Yoselin were friendly and attentive. Nice variety of premium pastries, eggs, freshly made Belgian waffles, Chobani yogurts, cereals etc. There’s plenty of places to eat within walking distance as well. Stayed here for one night since the concert venue was a 4 minute walk, I will definitely be back. Front desk attendant, McKensie, was amazing.

Such an incredibly cool hotel. They are completely committed to the rock & roll bit, right down to the bag the extra TP is in (Rock & Extra Roll). Super friendly staff, great relaxed vibe, not corporate feeling at all. I am told the heated pool is amazing, my wife and daughter enjoyed it. Very convenient location across the street from Fenway. We got a fantastic deal on a random Thursday in February, as expected, prices are far higher when the Sox are playing. The included breakfast is more or less on par with most other hotels, nothing super special, but quite passable.

Such an awesome Rock themed hotel. We stayed in the Backstage trailers, and they were truly worth the cost. Fenway is your backyard. The hotel is just a 2 minute walk from the MGM Music Hall, and many restaurants and bars. I 100% recommend staying here. The employees are super nice, and the hotel is just amazing!

This is by far, the coolest hotel I've stayed in. The lobby is cozy and has guitars available to use if a creative moment strikes. Music memorabilia fills the main corridor and more framed items line each hallway. The pool is hot and cozy, even on the coldest nights. The rooms are clean and well sized. The staff (Jake & McKenzie) are friendly and helpful. The valet parking, although expensive, is super convenient, but is limited and may not always be available.

This is the third time my girlfriend and I have stayed at the Verb. Every time was a perfect 10 experience. VIP trailers are so fun! Pool is awesome in summer or winter. Staff is always VERY friendly and accommodating. Location is clutch. I live 10 mins away, and have stayed 3 times just because it’s so fun, and there are so many great bars and restaurants within close walking distance. Amazing place. So unique and different from all of the other hotels in the area. Keep up the good work!
