Needed a place to stay after a Red Sox Game (they won...). Simple, large room - clean and comfortable. Front desk guy was personable and helpful and even offered us home made cookies (a hotel amenity). Our stay was quiet and uneventful (a good thing). Breakfast was amazing and free - eggs, pancakes, sausage english muffins, and more. Shower was a little wonky, but functional. Would stay there again.

This hotel is in an excellent location- easy to walk to transit and the neighborhood felt very safe and quiet. Our room was slightly less clean than we had expected- some food crumbs were on the ground when we arrived. We spent little time in the room so it was fine, but the room was not particularly comfortable so would not return for a longer trip.

Stayed at The Boston Hotel during a solo trip and had a really good experience. The location is super convenient, with Whole Foods just a short walk away and everything felt very safe, even in the evening. The hotel itself is older, but nicely updated, and my room had new furniture and felt very clean and comfortable. The staff was also extremely friendly and welcoming. Great value for the location — I would definitely stay again.
