This hotel is only a few blocks from the train & about 15 minutes to EVERYTHING. You come to BOS for the city, not to stay cooped up in a hotel. Everyone was very friendly & helpful. Food downstairs was good. Everything was clean from the lobby to the room. Definitely staying here again for a good holiday, made affordable. More

Drapes were partially hanging off the hooks (obviously someone before us was just as frustrated as we were), there were Water leak marks on the ceiling by the window, we could not... More

We booked this hotel through Expedia for 2 nights, when we arrived we were given a smoking room even though we requested non-smoking room. The staff did not seem to care when we complained. They claimed that since the room was booked through a third party the room type could not be guaranteed. The hallway and room reeked so bad... More

Thank you for sharing your experience on Trip Advisor. I am sorry that you were not accomodate with your request for a non smoking room. Third party booking agents sell a room, not a room type in many instances. The preferences of smoking and non or bed types are simply that. As you suggested, booking through Holiday Inn directly either... More

Lovely, clean hotel and no issues with their facilities - however, we had nothing but poor service throughout the stay. While checking in there was no mention of the shuttle service and we were handed an envelope and told that 'we were right to go.' When I asked what room we were in the service assistant abruptly told us what... More
