Editorial and AI charter

How our content is produced

Some of the articles, guides and product pages published on Stay In Boston are written with the assistance of artificial intelligence, from documented sources. The content concerned carries an explicit notice at the end of the article.

Our sources

Our content relies on documented sources: official data and publications, manufacturers' and providers' documentation, partner websites and public user reviews. Whenever a figure or statistic is quoted, its source is stated on the page.

What AI never produces

  • interview answers, testimonials and quotes: they come exclusively from real people, with their consent;
  • user reviews: we invent neither reviews nor "user" ratings;
  • survey or study results: every published statistic is sourced.

Images

Some of the images published on Stay In Boston are generated with artificial intelligence. These images are used for illustration purposes.

How this site works

A Boston hotel guide built on neighborhoods, sources and dates

Stay In Boston covers one city and one question: where to sleep in it. Every guide starts with the neighborhood rather than the brand, every figure we publish carries the source it came from and the date it was measured, and the way we work is written down rather than promised.

Neighborhood firstWe compare where you sleep before we compare hotels: one guide per Boston neighborhood, each with its own criteria and its own shortlist.Browse the neighborhood guides →
Figures with a sourceOccupancy, room supply, visitor origin, seasonality: each number in our data files is attributed to a named source and dated.Read the Boston data files →
Prices measured, not estimatedA fixed basket (room rate, the three statutory lodging taxes, one night of downtown parking), re-measured on the same basis each period.See how Boston prices move →
Our method, in writingWhich sources we use and in what order, what we verify, how the lists are built, and how commercial relationships are labelled.Read our working method →
