Located in Boston's South End, the Best Western Roundhouse Suites is an all suites hotel that is one of the 2002 recipients of a *Best of the Best* award from Best Western International.All 92 suites feature a sitting area with a sofa bed, arm chair and work desk, a wet-bar with microwave and refrigerator, coffee/tea maker and sink, three 2-line dataport telephones, in-room safe, 27-inch television, pay-per-view movies, iron and ironing board and a hairdryer. Executive Suites with French doors. On-site fitness center and 2 meeting roomsThe Best Western Roundhouse Suites offers a shuttle service to Copley Square/Prudential Center/Hynes Convention Center, Boston Medical Center, nearby Fenway Park, Longwood Medical Center, Boston Symphony Hall, T-subway stations, and nearby Northeastern University. You can enjoy complimentary deluxe continental breakfast, free parking, complimentary local telephone calls, use of the fitness center and fresh baked afternoon cookies in the lobby during your stay at the Roundhouse.This unique round building was built in the 1800's as a gas tank. The gasoline was used to light up the lanterns in Boston, then became a motion picture exhibition in the 20*s and light manufacturing and storage in the 30*s, it has been vacant for over 60 years, before it was transformed into a beautiful top-notch hotel in 2001. Have you ever slept in a round building before? The shape of the building is not the only thing you will remember. The staff is committed to providing you with the best possible service. We look forward to exceeding your expectations.It's a stone's throw away from Boston's proud tradition and history of New England. Boston is host to many distinctive shops, world-class restaurants, superb museums, the performing arts and theatre district, Boston's medical community, colleges, the Boston Red Sox, Bruins, and Celtics, as well as Boston's financial district, the Hynes Convention Center and Bayside Exposition Center.

We had a good-sized clean suite for 2 adults and 3 kids but getting to/from Boston and airport was not what we expected. Be aware that airport transfer is not free, as I thought; it is 8 per adult each way and we waited 40 minutes after calling from Logan after an 8-hour international flight with jetlag. There is a free local shuttle to a few downtown sites but it runs 7am-10pm (not 11pm as advertised) and the last call for pick-up is actually 9:45pm. The local shuttle can drop off/pick up at T stations but it's a 10-15 min walk from there. The first morning we arrived downstairs for breakfast (which was good and free!) at 9am to find it extremely crowded -- only about 10 tables for 92 hotel rooms. So we learned and had breakfast the next morning at 7:30 and it was much more manageable. The staff was helpful and stored our luggage all day after checkout but this was behind an unlocked door (where there were admin offices as well). Also, after coming back to the room on Friday, we discovered our suite door was unlocked; however, nothing was missing and I'm not sure whose error it was (ours or theirs). Staff was very helpful and courteous but facilities were just not what we were hoping for. Our suite was square like any other hotel room (but with skimpy blackout curtains and soundproofing) so the cache of a round hotel was only apparent from the outside. I would have booked Embassy Suites (where I've stayed twice before) but their price was exhorbitant when I made arrangements for this trip. A few days before we left, the price difference was only 50/night; for that difference, I wish I had chosen the convenience and pool of Embassy
This was a great idea. I normally stay with family on this annual trip where I and childhood friends (all in our 70's) return home for an annual reunion; but, this time because of unusual circumstances, I stayed at the Roundhouse. It was recommended by one of my returning friends who had booked a suite at this all suites hotel. This was a pleasant surprise. Lovely suites and welcomed privacy; clean, courteous and accommodating staff. I was much more comfortable here than I would have been had I stayed with family. No dining room was no problem for me. The continental breakfast was quite complete and delivery from some of the better restaurants was an option; the shuttle to almost everywhere including the airport was a welcomed bonus. Although the business center with it's two computers was small it was adequate for me, who left my laptop at home. In room internet connection would have sufficed had I brought a laptop. Size of this two room suite was perfect and the spacious, clean bathroom was a pleasure. It's location was perfect for family and friends who could get to us with ease, and even gather for a private, evening wine and cheese get-together on our last night there. I give this hotel an A+ and recommend it highly for other seniors, families and other individuals. I will definitely stay at this hotel again!
Can't find a better deal for family travel. I had 4 kids sleep comfortably in my room without extra charge. Unfortunately, we had problems at check-in. First we were sent to a room that had not been cleaned. After being sent to a 2nd room, there were a couple relatively minor, but annoying, problems with the room that I needed to contact front desk for. After that, visit went smoothly. Free parking is provided, but I checked-in at 10:30PM and got the very last parking space.
I choose this hotel due to it's location to the Symphony Hall. I was surprised that the hotel had a shuttle that will take you to anywhere within 2.5 miles. It was a plus and I used it every day during my stay.
Situated literally inches aways from major highways, if you get stuck on the lower floors you'll wish you brought earplugs (I did as standard packing procedure, even then the noise was horrendous.). Any level of security for parking would have been appreciated. As is you park in a vacant lot in the back of the hotel with no one but an adjacent gas station attendant to hear you if somehting happens.I complained so hard that I was given a penthouse room which was very nice but I didn't notice much since I was trying to catch up on my sleep from the night before.
We were pleasantly surprise. The Hotel was clean, odor free and the rooms were comfortable with basic features. Transportation to the subway was easily available and the uniqueness of the structure with it's history made it fun. We are planning another trip to Boston and will definitely stay there again.
