The train line ran just outside our room. Internet connection was terrible in the room. The ice machine was adjacent to the room ( I think it was the only machine . People from other floors were getting ice at this machine). The elevator was just outside the door. The shuttle was slow and crowded when we rode it to and from the train station. The eating area was small. The rooms were past due for renovation.

I just stayed at the hotel (24 - 26 June 2008) and I must admit that the whole experience was very disappointing overall.

I agree with the comments of previous posters that the resturants and the bowling alley were not connected to the hotel. They are owned by the same company and therefore it is possible to use the facilities of the other properties e.g. the swimming pool of the Ramada Inn.

On our first night we were put in room 103 (I highly recommend that you avoid at all costs) which was next to the kitchen and breakfast room and we were woken up at 6am by the kitchen and the beeping from the waffle iron. We asked to move room and the second room that we were assigned was much better in terms of comfort and noise.

The room was okay and the people that worked there were nice and were helpful and understanding of our problem.

We booked this hotel after reading the write up on hotelclub.com which is inaccurate - this hotel cannot be in my opinion described as "located downtown". The hotel provides a shuttle bus to the nearest "T" station which takes approx 10 mins and runs every half hour. We found it difficult to get a space on the bus as it was over subscribed and had to wait a couple of times for the next bus.

Heed my warning...and stay away from this place.
There is a major traffic route into downtown Boston, directly in front of this Hotel. (CAR AND TRUCK NOISE)
The subway and deisel commuter trains run less than 100 feet behind the hotel. (TRAIN NOISE starting at 5am. and finishing at 1am).
And my personal favorite, this hotel is directly in the landing path for Boston's Logan airport (AIRPLANE NOISE). Depending on the wind direction you can get over 1000 flights a day flying over this hotel at (get this), less than 1000 feet. We had everything from 747's to Piper cubs flying over our heads, from 5:30 am to well after midnight.
If you are a glutton for punishment, then this is the place for you.

We wanted a hotel for 1 night near Logan airport as we were catching a flight early in the morning. This hotel was only a 10 min drive to the airport and the free airport shuttle every 30 minutes was great and very convenient. Breakfast was also free and available early which helped as we had an early flight . We had a twin queen bed room which was very spacious and the bathroom was nice. Room was a bit dated but reasonably clean and had all the basics. Had free WIFI and decent TV channels. The hotel also has a swimming pool which was a nice add on. Staff were friendly. This is a good budget hotel if you need somewhere near the airport for a short stay. If you want somewhere for sightseeing in Boston then it is a bit out of the way of downtown as it is 3 miles north east of the airport.
