I traveled to Boston this past weekend to see my friend's band play at the Brighton Music Hall. I wanted a hotel that was clean and comfortable, close to the venue, and reasonably priced with free parking. I got all those things at the Best Western Terrace. My room was spotlessly clean, small and not lavishly furnished, but nice, and... More

This hotel, although a little tricky to get to, is in a good area. We were picking up our son from Boston University and it was only 5 minutes away from him. It's very close to Boston College as well. The T-line is super close to the hotel also. The rooms could definitely use some updating but they were comfortable,... More

We stayed overnight at this hotel while in the Allston/Brighton area for a concert. Staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was somewhat outdated, but very clean, and it included a microwave and a small refrigerator. Having free WiFi at a value-priced facility was definitely a plus. We also liked the fact that we were within walking distance of several... More

Bed was comfortable, room was clean (bedspread of first room;s bed was rather garish) with free WI-fi and free breakfast. Small room for breakfast but we wound up with a table. Good overall value...

We just returned from a two-night stay at the Boston Best Western Terrace Inn. Our party consisted of myself, my husband and our 21 year-old daughter. We were in town to visit our son at BU over Parents Weekend. First of all, getting ANY hotel during this weekend is 1) a challenge and 2) expensive. It is the same weekend... More
