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!

Keith, the hotel ambassador, was amazing! Super friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great! They also have a coffee bar open 24/7. Bed was comfy. Looks like they recently replaced the carpet with flooring, which I feel is always cleaner than carpet. The only weird thing is that it is called a hotel, but they have multiple buildings and your door opens to the outside, so really more of a motel. Good price for a downtown room. Close to the medical center.

Lovely Motel right off Comm Ave! We booked this place for our BC Reunion! We wanted easy access to the T to head to and from BC and it was absolutely perfect! Being so close to the T made getting around the area effortless, allowing us to spend more time enjoying the City and less time worrying about transportation. The accommodations were comfortable and spacious (we had the Suite), the service was excellent (shoutout to my Man Keith who was there 3 separate times with his Gold Scissors to cut the Tags on my new Clothes), and the location truly made our trip memorable! We look forward to staying here again on our next Visit! Also they have Cookies in the Lobby!
