It's very difficult to find a hotel. Since i check in, I don't like the room at all and ask them to change it. The staff try her best to do it but it has only 3 room left. I pick the one that not close to the stairs and has a street views. It's small but the bathroom pretty... More

This hotel is small with no frills but affordable and close to Boston Commons, shopping, theater and Chinatown. Walking distance to law school and Tufts. The rooms are little- I wouldn't want to share with anyone but my spouse or family ( no coworkers for cost sharing). There is a big window in the bathroom- don't forget to pull the... More

This is an old hotel in the theater district. Walking distance to Boston Common, good restaurants/cafes, North Station, subway. Location is great, though it can be a little noisy. The hotel staff was attentive and very helpful. Rooms are small, but clean. Hotel has a good continental breakfast. Free wifi. Very good value for the money, especially considering prices for...

I chose Milner because after reading other reviews I thought it offered a good price/quality ratio and it fit perfectly my expectations. The hotel is very well located, a couple minutes walk from Boston Commons and easy to reach many sites / places on foot. Boston is a great city for walking and I enjoyed starting my day with a...

It exceeded my expectations, the location was great.. You have to walk..... So if you're not a walker, then dont stay here! The rooms are TINY and outdated, but comfy! I felt very safe in the neighborhood. The staff provided great tips on where to dine and also provided us with great directions. I will stay here again!! It is... More

This hotel shows it's age but in a great way! Built in the 1800's the hallways are small but the hotel didn't feel claustrophobic. We had a deluxe queen room that was large enough to suit our needs. It had a queen bed, pull out sofa, coffee table, desk and chair, dresser, flat screen TV, fridge and small-ish bathroom. The... More

We stayed over the Easter Weekend, and absolutely loved the old charm of this hotel. It is a perfect marriage of old and new: quaint rooms and decor paired with free WiFi and very attentive staff. It's clean, warm, cozy and in a terrific location, with the nearest subway station less than 5 minutes' walk away. All major attractions and... More

I needed an inexpensive place to stay in the city within walking distance to North Station and the general downtown area. Went to see the Celts play and had my seafood fill at a few places in downtown/faneuil hall area. This place was perfect for me. It was clean and quiet and the room was well apportioned for being such... More

Hotels are expensive in Boston and this one is quite reasonable so we chose it, and breakfast is included- toasted bagels and pastries, cereals, yoghurts, fruit. It is very close to Boston Common, the freedom trail, a few shopping malls. We walked from the hotel to Fenway Park which took us maybe half hour to forty five mins. In fact... More

We had a great stay at this old family run hotel nearby the Boston Commons. The receptionist (From Russia) took great care of checking us in and the room was clean albeit small. It is located near to Chinatown and the commons and offers inclusive breakfast at a budget price. We would certainly stay there again when we go back... More
