Not bad

This place is great if you can get it for cheap. Its not worth paying over $110, only because the rooms are not that great. It is in the best location if your coming to Boston for a social reason. Its close to every bar in the downtown area. Its also really close to the TD Banknorth Garden. Its really close to the Subway and bus lines so you can stay here if you have to travel outside the city as well. The only problem is that you can feel a draft and also hear the people outside the building in the street as it is next door to a bar. As a whjole its a great deal for the money, but not for kids for sure.

A good place to stay

Been here several times. Right across the streat from N. Station & Boston Gardens. Friendly, helpful staff. Free breakfast buffet. Nice size rooms, tho a bit dated. Free internet in the smallish lobby. Parking (paid) at nearby lots. Not luxury, but comfortable and very reasonably price. My first choice these days in Boston.

Awful, do not stay here. The room was a mess, and the staff was awful. For some reason the hotel just wasn't what I thought it was going to be.

This was our first trip to Boston. We were really just looking for an inexpensive room to sleep and shower in. If that is all you need, this is your place! It is close to North Station and the North End. We and our friends decided we are glad we payed less to stay there than one of the more expensive hotels that we wouldn't have spent any time in!
