We had a great stay at the Hotel Boston! This place is a fantastic deal - it is just steps away from the T's Green Line, and one block away from some wonderful restaurants (we loved La Catrina) as well as Whole Foods. It is in a quiet, residential area, and the parking is quite convenient. The rooms are clean and come with everything you could need including a kitchenette. The luxury shampoo, lotion, and soap provided in the room (products from upstate NY) were also a great touch. They always had ice water, tea, and coffee in the lobby. And the staff were extra friendly and accommodating. This place is a wonderful find and we will be back!

It was an ok place to crash for a night but zero amenities, not even a coffee maker in the room. On site parking and nearby T station were convenient but paying for parking seemed unreasonable. Room was spacious but beds were uncomfortable and felt old. One of the least expensive hotels in the area, but for close to $200, I expect a little more, regardless of location/competitors.

It Works

Easy to navigate to and park at. Space was large but was pretty unkept. There were spots/stains on the floor, the was black mold on the curtains above the AC unit, stains on the curtains and bedding. Would have likely gone somewhere else if not for having already paid for the night.
