This is a really worn out hotel. It is shabby and sad and has no ambiance. The pool is in the middle of the hotel ground floor and the smell from it permeates throughout. The Reception area and bar are totally depressing. Most of the rooms have no outside windows so there is no natural light. While bedding and towels... more

This is an old Holiday Inn, tired, but rather refreshing in that it isn't cold stainless steel and glass. Our room on the 1st floor was quite a hike from the front lobby, but quiet. It opened out onto the hall that faces Beacon Street, yet the room was very quiet. Shower not the best configuration in the world, but... more

This was our third year in a row staying at this hotel as part of a large group attending an event at Fenway Park. The room and property were clean and nice enough looking, and the location is great. We have been less than impressed with the service. Three years in a row we have booked months in advance and... more

This hotel was okay, and I say just okay! The room was alright, it was quite small. We were very excited that the hotel had a pool, but the pool was very hot, over 120 degrees, so it was certainly not a refreshing dip. The hotel was not well kept; there was trash/dirt throughout the hallway; Trays and vacuum cleaners... more

I looked for a hotel rather late for the weekend of MIT's graduation (and Harvard, and other schools, no doubt). The Holiday Inn was one of the few that was $200 or less, still available, wasn't in a totally sketchy or inconvenient location, and got decent reviews, so I went with it. The Holiday Inn is in Brookline on the... more

I spent two nights at the Holiday Inn Brookline: ** Service: perfunctory but fine-had no interactions except at check-in and check-out ** Room: Standard issue HI, bathroom a bit dated but new, plush, bedding. The room overlooked the interior 'atrium' so there was no natural daylight, which was occasionally off putting. ** Location: For someone OK with public transportation, it... more

This is an old but partially renovated and reasonably priced (for Boston) hotel in a great location. Can walk to small shops, a movie theater, and lots of restaurants around Coolidge Corner. Jae's, a nice Asian restaurant, is right across the street, as is the streetcar. It's a short ride to Fenway Park, the Gardiner Museum, or the Boston Museum... more

This is like a trip back in time. Incredibly tired and dated architecture and layout. Very dingy and rather grim. However, very cheap compared to downtown Boston and right by a T station. Also convenient for Coolidge Corner and it's restaurants and bars. This is the only chain hotel in the area but there are many fine B&B's that are... more

I did not stay at the Holiday Inn, but rather was there for a week long seminar. The conference room had a musty/moldy odor and several people, including myself, had allergic reactions (sneezing, headaches). The air vents in the ceiling had black stuff around them leading me to think there may be a mold/dust issue. People who were attending this... more
