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.

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.

The hotel is an older property, but our room had updated furniture and was very comfortable. 24/7 coffee was a blast ! Delicious cookies at front desk too! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Perfect spot for exploring Boston without spending a fortune. We would definitely come back!
