Was unhappy room was a smoking room. Was told it was a non-smoking hotel, which it is except on the floor we were on. Room was fine after I bought a plug-in airfreshner. Breakfast was okay, make sure you get up early to get a cinnamon bun. Usually run out by 7:30. Easy access to the T but did not want to came back after dark ,a little scary walking at night from T back to hotel area; fine during the day. T was great for getting around. If you want to take day trips Gray Line picks up at hotel for the trips as well as for the Bean Town Trolly and brings you back at the end of the trip.
The front desk was amazing, friendly and very helpful. We required extra towels and they brought to us very quickly. We were disapointed that there was not any pool or spa at this location, but we managed. They provided 24/7 fresh hot coffee was a plus for my husband.
This was an excellant hotel for the price. The rooms were very clean, the staff was friendly, and the free breakfast wasn't bad either. The hotel is located less than a five minute walk from Andrew Station, and from there it's only four stops on the subway and you are in the Boston Common, the heart of Boston. The beds are nice and firm, and there is a lot of space in the rooms so you don't feel confined. The bathroom is kept clean and the shampoo and conditioner is always replaced if you want it. All major appliances like the iron and hair dryer are new and very functional. There are no in-hotel movies to order from, but I didn't need them anyway. The TV has a few major cable networks including HBO, but I rarely watched tv except for the morning news. The fitness room had five machines and the majority didn't work, but concidering all the walking I did in Boston, it was nothing to get upset over. With the throughway and trains being next to the hotel I was a little concerned over the noise level, but I had a room on the fifth floor facing away from these so my nights were nice and quiet. The quality of the hotel made my vacation very enjoyable, and I will highly recommend this hotel to other travelers.
My husband & recently stayed here during an anniversary trip & were very happy with the location, cleanliness, & staff. We chose this particular hotel b/c it was so close to the freeway & were excited to find it in a relatively safe neighborhood-we felt safe walking to the shopping center next door, the subway across the freeway & a restaurant a few blocks away. We were going to be driving up to Maine & even down thru Rhode Island & Conn so we were very happy to be so close to I-93 which would then hook up to I-90 & I-91. The front desk staff was more than willing to give suggestions, directions & opinions about anything I had a question about. The b'fast each morning was better than anything I could have imagined. there was cereal, yogurt, fruit, bagels, toast, waffles, eggs, bacon. sausage, juice, coffee, & hot tea/chocolate. The only bad thing was when it got crowded there was a long line for the toaster but otherwise it was great. there were 2 computers in the lobby for use by the guests for 10 mins at a time which was nice since I had forgotten to get directions to one of our destinations. The subway station was maybe 1/2 mile away-maybe shorter- & VERY easy to get to. We went to hockey, basketball. & baseball games & took the subway to each which was nice since I had been told not to drive in Boston if I could avoid it. The subway comes out right next to the TD Banknorth Garden-where the Bruins & Celtics play- & for the Red Sox game there are 2 stations just right around the corner from the ball park. If I ever go back I will stay here again!!
This hotel is located a couple of milessouth of the central city along I-93. On the opposite side of the freeway is a subway station. The hotel is located in a big commercial development with a Courtyard hotel, Target, big grocery store, etc. The neighborhood feels safe. This hotel is decades old, but very well maintained and clean. My room was quite small, but very adequate. The hotel provides a good continental breakfast, a lobby computer, and a free shuttle from the airport. The hotel provides about 25 cable channels, it could be better. This hotel is not designed for kids (small room and no pool). I went Boston on a convention. I got a very attractive rate through travel website in a combination hotel and airfare package. I stayed here rather at the convention. The subway provided excellent connections and saved about 150/night from staying at the convention hotel in Copley Sq. I would stay here again.
I recently traveled to Boston with my son to look at colleges. We wanted a room close to downtown and reasonably priced (not an easy feat in Boston!). This Holiday Inn was an excellent choice! The price was extremely reasonable and we were very pleased with the amenities. The room was very clean and appealing, the bed was extremely comfortable, staff was helpful and courteous, breakfast was included and had a nice variety. They even made complimentary homemade chocolate chip cookies every afternoon for the guests! We were thrilled at how accessible downtown was to the hotel! Although we rented a car, it was much easier and affordable to leave our car in the Holiday Inn parking lot and take the train downtown. The hotel is a very short walk to the Andrews Station. We hopped on the train and it took us right downtown. It was very easy and quick! I would HIGHLY recommend this hotel to anyone on a budget who is looking for a hotel close to downtown! We would absolutely stay here again!
Budget-minded travelers appreciate amenities like complimentary breakfast buffet and a kids-stay-free policy.
Since its 1952 debut in Memphis, Tenn., Holiday Inn has become one of the most recognized hotel brands in the world. In addition to
