The Docent Collection-Boyd Block was a wonderful stay! VERY clean and luxurious, we had everything we needed and more. The staff was very professional and helpful. Check in was the most efficient ever. I absolutely loved everything about Boyd Block, we were in walking distance to so many places. This was a 10/10 stay!

Immaculately clean, stunning interior, and perfect location were the first things I noticed about Docent’s Choice. Being half a Luddite the app for phone and figuring out how to turn the lights off and on involved me needing assistance. Not only did the staff help me, they didn’t even laugh at me or call me a “Boomer”. Great customer service!
Honestly, I can’t say enough good things about Docent’s Choice. Everything was perfect!
So lovely to be in a space big enough for four that felt more like “home” than hotel. Great location in Old Port. Friendly, responsive staff. Comfy beds. Amazing high ceilings and aesthetically minimalist. Looking forward to another stay.
