This is a good Hotel for people that do not need many "frills" but want to be close to downtown and at an affordable price. Several "extras" are complementary, such as WIFI, breakfast, gym and pool. Bus stop #1 is in front of the Hotel, and the drive from Logan takes less than 15 minutes.
Unfortunately it is quite noisy, however one cannot have everything ... in the middle of Boston !

I think this property goes above and beyond to accommodate patients who are there to receive medical care at Dana Farber. The rate was excellent and the 2 meals per day were super convenient. The breakfast is excellent- wondeful fresh fruit, pastries, waffle maker, hot breakfast items, cold cereal, oatmeal (or, ask at the counter for a brown bag breakfast to go if you've got an early morning appointment). Dinner was less than thrilling on some nights, very bland food (Asian night was none too tasty in my opinion), though everytime we've stayed, they seem to be adding more items (and condiments for the dinner). The taco/fajita night is pretty good. It did make our stay much less stressful- after a day at the hospital, the last thing anyone wants to do is try to plan out where to eat. I thought the rooms were super comfortable and the bedding rivals top hotel brands that I've stayed at (ie Ritz Carlton). There is a free shuttle to/from Dana Farber. I would not consider this hotel to be in the safest of neighborhoods; I'd suggest taking a cab to the nearest public transportation. The location is quite accessible to lots of destinations (close to the highway, gas stations, hospitals, some tourist spots). Street noise is pretty loud- lots of sirens all night long (due to the hospitals and the neighborhood). For me, the bed was so comfy, I had no prob. sleeping (and I suffer from insomnia). The customer service was excellent- every morning, there were staff members circulating at breakfast to answer questions or to mark routes on maps for the guests.

I went to Boston to visit a friend who was staying at this hotel. Everyone there was very friendly and helpful. You couldn't ask for better customer service. The hotel was clean and well maintained. Not only did they have breakfast, they served dinner each evening. The shuttle guys were great.

My friend and I stayed there in September to visit Boston on a girl's trip. We were there for about a week. The stay was great. Our room was very clean and the staff was friendly. I was worried that it would be hard to get around because it looks so far away from downtown on the map. It turned out to be not far at all. We are not from the city whatsoever, so we took cab's everywhere. For the price, we had an enjoyable stay.
