We stayed at this HIE this past weekend when in town for my son's Boston University graduation. We found the rooms to be clean and comfortable, the location was ideal, but the highlight of the stay was the staff. From check in to check out they were friendly, accommodating and professional. We had a small request regarding our room temperature... More

Hello and thank you for your comments. I am glad to hear that you received a warm welcome and that the guest service person and valet attendant were present to greet you. However, I am disappointed to hear that the room was not up to standards. I have my chief engineer looking into this now and if he and his... More

We stayed for 4 nights at the Boston Garden HIE and we picked it primarily for its location as the nearby subway station makes it easy for us to visit many of Boston's attractions. The hotel room itself was nothing to shout about but it was clean and comfortable. I must say that the rest of the hotel itself seems... More

Thank you for your feedback. We too feel that our location is perfect, whether you're traveling for business, government, leisure or especially sporting events and concerts! Also with North Station across the street and the Green line for the "T" around the corner, it makes travel easy to come in and out of the city as well as get around... More

This hotel is a nicely refurbished older place, and felt more like a boutique hotel. The best thing was it's convenient location to the Boston Garden, which made for a mellow concert experience. Last time I was in Boston I got hung up in heavy traffic on my way to a show, so even though this hotel was more expensive... More

We appreciate your comments and feedback, thank you. Also we are glad you enjoyed the concert. Being directly across from the Garden, it makes it very convenient for our guests to attend concerts, shows and sporting events.

We stayed here the weekend of the boston marathon. We have stayed in many HIE hotels and this one does not nearly compare. The breakfast wasn't up to par. No fruit, yogurt, or cinnamon rolls any of the three days we were there. There were no refrigerators in the rooms which I thought they did. It wasn't the cleanest hotel... More

Right across the street from TD Garden and many restaurants and bars nearby. A little pricey due to prime location. Valet parking is 40$ but is an absolute must - you won't find any parking nearby... We had to wait 20min the next morning at check-out for our car (gives you an idea how far away it must be parked!!).... More

We were totally lost in Boston driving there because the streets are crazy! We called the hotel and the front desk employee stayed on the phone with us and told us street by street where to turn to get there. That was way beyond his call of duty! It was a great location and I will definitely stay there again... More

If you're looking for a good vacation or business hotel in Boston, stay elsewhere. If you're attending an event at TD (Boston) Garden or if you've had a bit too much "fun" after an event at the Garden, then this might be the place for you. We found the venue to be in serious need of maintenance, from broken lamps... More
