The hotel is just fine. All staff friendly, clean, normal room. Breakfast was basic but better than continental and good. The hotel is (without traffic) 5 minutes outside downtown in South Boston. We took the subway to Fenway, was easy enough and a few minutes walk. Its next to a strip mall with Marshall's, Target, Applebees. Therefore - if you... more

Great value. Enjoyed our stay. Free shuttle to airport was delayed by a parade; hotel arranged for substitute from another hotel to keep us on schedule. Hearty breakfast, patient, informative staff. Safe & clean. Taxi service was not reliable during our stay. more

My husband and I stayed here for a weekend trip to Boston. The hotel is close to the subway (red line) which will take you to downtown Boston in minutes. From there, you can walk almost anywhere. This hotel is conveniently close to a mall with a Target, Old Navy, Marshalls, Olive Garden, and an Applebee's. If you are adventurous,... more

We hadn't been to Boston in quite a few years and were astounded at the prices for downtown hotels. The HI Express was by far the best price we found on a decent hotel, and it is decent: clean, friendly staff, free hi-speed internet, reasonable breakfast. The trade-off is the location. Msgr O'Brien Highway is an industrial strip, a bit... more

arrived at the hotel by hotel shuttle after leaving drivers licence in a washington hotel so unable to rent a car, friendly staff, complimentary breakfast & tea, coffee & hot chocolate always available during the day. The local Mall was just over the small parking lot with applebees & the Olive Garden restaurants, we used the shuttle to take us... more

We recently visited Boston and stayed here based on reviewers comments. A mistake. A number of reviewers said they felt safe walking between the subway and the hotel. We didn't. During the day, the walk was do-able but still not particularly comfortable—you remained observant as you walked--but there is no way we would have walked back in the evening; we... more

Our party of 3 stayed for 4 nights during Marathon weekend at the HI Express. The hotel was full with many marathoners from other parts of the world also staying here. The halls were very quiet at night! Just like other reviewers have mentioned - the staff was friendly and helpful, buffet breakfast was all we needed to get going... more

This hotel was perfect, the room was fairly spacious and quite clean. The staff was friendly and had no problem with our arrival before check in time. The breakfast wasn't great, but it was free and better than just donuts. The rates are much lower than downtown. Their is absolutely nothing wrong with the neighborhood, it's not rich, but it's... more

My son and I booked a room at the Holiday Inn Express located at 69 Boston Street in Boston, Massachusettes while doing a college visit. I researched for several days for a reasonably priced hotel in Boston that was close to downtown (not an easy feat!) We were THRILLED with the accomodations! The room was VERY clean, the bed was... more
