Staypineapple South end Boston REVIEW
One of the most interesting, funky and fun hotels I’ve stayed at to date. Staypineapple is a unique collection of boutique hotels with locations in New York City, Chicago, San Francisco, Boston, Seattle, Portland and San Diego. Their vibe attracts a tribe of the young, young at heart, savvy travelers and seekers of something different. Staypineapple is described as a badass experience where all your wants and desires are met. That includes the hotel being dog-friendly! If you’re a dog mom or dad, you can bring along your pup as they highly encourage it and accommodate here at Staypineapple. More and more hotels are becoming dog-friendly and it’s about time!
I had the pleasure in staying at the Staypineapple, a Delightful Hotel, in historic South End Boston. Let me start out by saying that South End is an awesome location to stay in the city, especially if you’re visiting for the first time. South End Boston is known as being a culinary hub with entrepreneurial restauranters and delectable cuisine. Victorian brownstone buildings, fine restaurants, thriving arts, several outdoor parks and famous streets like Tremont Street, Columbus Avenue and Massachusetts Avenue are some of the things you have to look forward to.
Staypineapple South End Boston
If you’re interested in visiting Boston and like the sounds of the South End Boston culture and offerings, then Staypineapple is a “wicked smaht” choice for you, especially if you’re looking for more of a budget-friendly hotel. Staying in cities can be quite an expensive experience between the hotel, restaurants, bars and activities. Staypineapple can help enhance your city experience through it’s laid-back vibes with authenticity and class.
There are a few things that make Staypineapple special that are worth mentioning. They have sanitation protocols that help keep the environment safe, healthy, and super clean for all guests and pets. Being that the hotel is dog-friendly, the cleaning and sanitation are taken up a notch to make sure everyone is comfortable. This includes a zero contact guest experience with a mobile check-in feature, a Stayclean Staypineapple room seal to let you know they’ve sanitized the room before entering and certified team members that go through comprehensive training and education when it comes to sanitation as well as sanitizer stations available throughout the hotel.
Generally, if you need anything at all during your stay, you can always approach the friendly staff at the front desk for assistance.
One of my favorite features of the hotel is what they like to call “The Naked Experience.”
They offer a cozy, fresh, cuddly and luxurious atmosphere with extremely large and comfortable beds, that you feel like you’re sleeping on a cloud. Cozy is my middle name, so this was right up my alley.
Being dog-friendly in itself is a unique and appealing feature for dog lovers alike. Staypineapple encourages you to “bring your best friend with you” on your journey at Staypineapple. They even offer a Pineapple Pup Package with 50% off your daily pet fee when you book directly on staypineapple.com. Dog amenities include a Staypineapple dog bed, a treat tin in the main lobby, colorful water bowls in the room that are yours to keep, as well as a walk-friendly waste bag in a yellow holder to show off your Staypineapple pride when you go on walks with your dog. The coolest part is if you want to go out and explore areas of the city where you can’t take your dog, you can absolutely leave them in the room! It doesn’t really get more convenient than that.

The Room
The Staypineapple room is a lot of fun and has everything you need. There’s a plush king bed, large TV screen, cozy Staypineapple yellow robes, a coffee machine with branded mugs, a standup shower and an elegant yet laid-back atmosphere. I truly felt very comfortable in this room and slept great!

My honest review of Staypineapple South End Boston
My experience at Staypineapple South End Boston was definitely a positive one. I’m used to staying at bit more high-end hotels and this one was super laid-back and fun. I love their pineapple theme and that dogs are welcomed here. I love the double duvet covers, one for me and one for Bubs. And I love the lightweight robes, the in-room coffee while getting ready and the fact that you can see the city street from your window for that classic South End feel.
The hotel building itself definitely has an older feel to it. The ground floor feels a bit outdated and somewhat dusty from the constant traffic indoors and outdoors, but we got used to it pretty quickly. The hallways also had a somewhat musty smell to it, but not to the point where it was gross or overwhelming. The room itself was the cleanest and most immaculate part of the hotel which is most important. The hotel is great for more low-maintenance, laid-back, adventurous folks, and of course dog-lovers!
Overall, we had a great experience. I don’t think I would personally stay at another Staypineapple and that’s only because I prefer a bit more luxe vibes.
