Rooms are nice and spacious. Clean and bright.
I had problems getting the wireless internet in my room and they moved me to another room where I got it and I am happy with the results. Two nice gentlemen at the reception who had to deal with me after I wasnt happy about not receiving the internet in the old room.I have stayed in 26 hotels throught america in the last 3 months and cant complain about this hotel. Good location and price for the area. Boston hotels are not cheap but this hotel is reasonable. If there is a funny smell in the halls , I cant smell it. Maybe its coming from the chinese restaurant downstairs.
Overall its a nice hotel.

The room was spacious. Furniture and decor were a little old but serviceable. Curtains were a bit dirty, but bedlinen and bathroom were perfectly clean. Strange smell in hallway, but it didn't come into the room.
The area felt safe and the hotel is on a bus route and 5 minutes from the 'T" train. It was a cheap deal on Hotwire and I'd stay there again given a similar deal.

What a nice surprise! Great place, handy to public transportation, fine neighborhood and, oh, by the way, the hotel is located next to Fenway! Our room was pleasant, clean and decorated fine. We'll definitely stay there again if we get lucky enough to get Red Sox tickets again :-) Actually, we'll stay there whenever the occasion brings us to Bean Town. Staff was friendly also.

Stay away from the Howard Johnson's on Boyleston St.

High prices for a hotel that is literally falling apart. We stayed at the hotel a few times for Red Sox games. Each year the price of the rooms keep getting inflated and the hotel keeps deteriorating. Our room had bugs in it along with a terrible smell from the hallway. No way is this hotel worth the rate they are charging. My kids wanted to use the pool but we were afraid the chlorine would melt their skin off. The owners need to realize that their place is not a 4 star hotel price. Never again will we stay at this dump no matter how convienient it was to stay at.

They even have the audacity to charge us a parking fee because of the Red Sox game. Bad enough we overpaid for the hotel and now the parking fee. I guess they just want to suck every dollar from you there.

Stay away if you know what's good for you.........
