The hotel is pretty big, and the lobby and common areas (including hallways/elevator) were clean. The staff was average and said the minimum to me when I checked in. The room was small and NO window to see outside! The only window was to the hallway. So if you don't want people to look into your room, you have to make sure your curtain is closed. There was complementary breakfast but my family and I opted not to eat at the hotel. We did like the location of the hotel in proximity to downtown Boston. We took the Trolley that was right across the street, which is super convenient. We had to pay for parking per night. Because we were staying at the hotel, there is a discount that brings the total to $38 a night. This is a good hotel if all you care to do is sleep, use the bathroom and leave your belongings somewhere in order to explore the city.

The property is nice and in a great location. The breakfast was also really good. However, our AC did not work in the room. I had to call for service 3 separate times. Each time, hotel staff was responsive and sent someone to work on it, but it never worked for more than a few minutes. They offered me another room, but it would have been a downgrade with only one bed, which would not have worked for us.

Over booking bullsh%t !!!!

I had booked a "tower" room MONTHS in advance for a special charity even at Fenway Park (near the hotel). The day I arrive they tell me they had overbooked and gave my room to someone else. So, I was given a "motel" style room at the very end of the indoor motel section (farthest from the lobby). Don't trust this motel with your reservation.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I was very disappointed with my stay at the Arcadian Hotel. When we arrived, the floors near the bathroom were wet—unsure with what—which immediately raised concerns about cleanliness. The remote control barely worked, as most of the buttons wouldn’t respond. The bed screeched loudly every time someone moved, and a toilet flushing sound kept going off every 5–10 minutes, which was extremely disruptive. On top of that, the key we were given didn’t work for the side entrance, so we had to walk all the way around the building every time we returned, which was inconvenient—especially late at night. For the amount I paid, I expected far better quality and comfort. Unfortunately, the stay fell short in several basic areas, and I would not recommend this hotel.

This hotel smells like a bathroom and cigarettes. The staff was inattentive and while Expedia claims breakfast is included, you will be charged an extra 30 dollars per day for it and it’s not very good. The boiled eggs were boiled till the yolk was green, there were no warm options, and the oatmeal was just packets you make yourself.

Liked the decor! We flew in with carryon baggage and therefore didn’t bring shampoo. When I got in the shower, there wasn’t any…only two conditioners. Erg! Something I thought could be counted on.
