MARK, STOUGHTON

Business traveler
Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

Far exceeded my expectations. I had some doubts after reading a number of reviews but I realize those reviews were from when the property was under ‘other management’. Everything was great. The room, the staff, the breakfast, all of it. It has all the makings of becoming my go to property when staying in Boston for my next visit.

When we checked in there was no real welcome, was asked for $50 extra per night for (refundable) and was sent to 3 different rooms without apology before we actually got the room we’d booked. No offer to help with the luggage or apology offered. Front of house staff are unhelpful. Regular issues with housekeeping not replacing toiletries, towels, failing to make beds and one day we came home to find our sink full of muck which resembled the bottom of a mop bucket absolutely disgusting. The air conditioning unit sounds like Concorde taking off so impossible to sleep at night with it on. This meant the room was boiling hot. Whilst it’s a couple of miles from the action there is convenient access to the tram outside. The breakfast was ok, but rarely anywhere to sit down and eat it and there is always hot coffee and filtered water available. There is no bar or restaurant available and no safety deposit box in the room for valuables. For a hotel charging $300 a night the whole experience should be way better than what we received.

Great location, T access in front of hotel. I love the lobby vibe. It's spacious and inviting along with providing 24 hour coffee, tea, and water. Although, the walls in the rooms are bit thin. We can hear people's conversation passing by and the plumbing noises from the next room. The rooms are smaller but cozy. Mohamed, General Manager, was excellent in attending to a few incidentals we had. Overall, we would definitely stay here again. To note, we have stayed numerous times at The Commonwealth. We prefer the customer service at the Arcadian. Customer service is everything for us when we patronized an establishment. Thank you for a great 6 night stay.

Breakfast was included in the price and honestly, it was terrible. I would rather not have breakfast included. No option to buy water or anything at the hotel, the bar area had beverage cooling fridges, all empty. Really disappointing

Good value for Boston-area

The hotel is reasonably priced for what it is--comfortable room in a nice part of Brookline. The hotel parking is a bit pricey (I think $45) and takes a bit of practice getting in and out of it, but it's fine. The breakfast was basically bagels and cereal. But it was close to an event where we needed to be, and is very close to Boston (you can see the Citgo sign in Kenmore Square down Beacon Street).

Have to ask for everything; booked for two queen beds and trying to give me full size!! No phone in the room, had to ask for wifi, parking ($45 way too expensive), no protein breakfast served, just pastry--as much as they charge per night, they should at least give us something to remember them by and nothing but disappointments.
