Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
First room had non-working thermostat and remote for TV, didn't work. 2nd room had non-operative TV. 3rd room was OK. Took over an hour to get a room where everything worked.
This is a terrible property - at least for the rooms on the lower floors - no outside windows. Layout reminiscent of a cell block. Zero amenities in room - no cups, no pen, no writing pad, not en a luggage stand. TV is an overcomplicated streaming gadget that requires you to log into Google and use your phone as a remote. Bathroom is basic. Lot of fees tacked onto the room rate - e.g. $30 "facility fee" that covers the "complimentary" breakfast. Cellular reception inside the building is poor.
Very poor value - do not recommend.

The location is one of the few positive components. The room has no exterior windows, the toilet ran throughout the night, there is no light in closet and the bathroom door is crumbling
Absolutely the best service at the front desk and from the cleaning staff. Very comfy beds and pillows. Great location. We will be using this hotel for each of our Boston stays from now on.

Pluses: Location pretty close to BU (15 minute walk), breakfast included
Minuses: Minimal amenities in room, no cups/glasses or coffee maker, unusual design, no windows to outside, no restaurants/bars/coffee shops nearby.
Overall, was ok
Overpriced for a room with a bed. No facilities or food available on site and breakfast was very poor. Much better priced options available for a stay in boston
Everything was really good. I will stay there again, but I will make sure I book a top floor room because the noise from the room above was a little loud.
J'ai aimé mon séjour dans cet hôtel. Nous n'avons manqué de rien. Cependant, je trouve le stationnement de l'hôtel dispendieux car même prix que dans le centre-ville de Boston. Aucune aubaine pour les clients de l'hôtel. Chambre propre. Près de tout en transport en commun.
My family and I had a great stay here staying in a spacious suite while we enjoyed the Boston area and visited colleges. Great location and appreciated the continental breakfast and hot coffee/tea provided throughout the day.

The window in my unit faces the hallway, so i had to keep the blinds shut at all times. Noise could transfer from the outside too. Other than that, the hotel was awesome. I had a nice stay.
Booked King bed, got 2 double beds. AC didn’t work. They did comp the parking at least. No microwave in room, no tea, coffee or cups in room. No vending or food in hotel.
Good, room is dark, breakfast was limited
Convenient for the train

Being charged $50 a night for incidental charges when the room had NOTHING extra in it!!! Then to find out that we have to wait 5 plus days to get our money back! The ticket system to get out of the garage was not functioning!
