This hotel looks to have received a fresh coat of paint, but beyond that, there's little value to be found. I stayed in this hotel for two nights during a business trip (I had booked 3 nights). To begin, the elevator was horribly, painfully slow.Next, the door to my room didn't open or close properly due to what seemed to... More

We are 1 day home and our legs are all bit up.. STAY AWAY!!!! Afraid to take our bags in the house. We wanted to stay for the Garden location but we would have been better off with taking a cab. The location is key.. the rooms are old and bare. I would deal with that, but not the bugs.... More

I stayed here for the Boston Strong concert at TD Garden- the hotel is literally just across the street from the arena. And the subway station (North Station) is located inside the arena as well. From Logan airport to North Station is about a 30-40min commute ($11 gets you an all day subway and bus pass) by subway, taxi from... More

The location is perfect for anything at the Garden. We often stay here even if we have things in other parts of the city. The T is right there & there are numerous bars & resturants that we like in the area. We enjoy the area even if nothing else is going on. The staff at this hotel is A-1.... More

We basically had a free trip to Boston (flight, hotel and car) though Boston wouldn't have been on my ideal travel list it was a great 3 days.

So, it is an older building (like most buildings in Boston) but it is a great location and we have made it our home away from home. The people are kind, courteous, and accommodating. It is 2 blocks away from the North subway station so a really easy way to get out into the city. Our daughter goes to college... More

The location is close to lots of restaurants, the subway and things to do. The rooms were clean and spacious although a bit small for the high price. The service was outstanding, especially at breakfast. Helpful workers with lots of information!!
