Nice hotel with very helpful staff. No fitness center or pool. Short walk to metro for visit to Boston was very nice. Jimmie recommended Restaurant for eve meal that was excellent. Queen suite was nice and modern with room for all 4 of us. Nice hotel would stay again if in area but would look for hotel with pool.

We appreciate your comments about our hotel and wish, like you, that we had the ability to offer a pool to our guests. As we are located in a city neighborhood, we are unable to house a pool for our guests. We are happy that our staff was able to point you in the direction of a great restaurant and... More

Stayed here on business in June 2013. There's not much to say about the neighborhood but the hotel is very comfortable, immaculate, and offers free parking (very unusual in the metro area) and a free breakfast. They also have fruit, cookies, coffee, and tea throughout the day. I don't know if all rooms have them but I had a refrigerator... More

I had the pleasure of staying at the Holiday Inn over the last weekend. I was amazed at the rooms it was clean and nicely decorated. It looks like they were recently done. The desk clerks were unbelievably helpful. It’s a great property and almost half the price of the Boston Hotels. It’s also located right on the T line.... More

My wife and I and our 1-year-old stayed here on a family vacation. The room appeared new and was spotless, with a very comfortable king-size bed. The staff was very kind and helpful, and the breakfast was decent, with hot and cold options. We did not rent a car, but this hotel did have free parking, rare in Boston. It's... More

The family was only there for a night - extending a weekend visit from outside of Boston. From the time we checked in, it was a lovely visit. I can't say that I have had a nicer manager anywhere. We checked in at 10:30 and breakfast was still being served. He offered it to us, but we had already eaten.... More

Friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable room. Delicious hot cinnamon rolls were one item offered at complimentary breakfast. Close to Lechmere stop on the MBTA. Only snag in our stay was a plumbing problem that was quickly fixed.
