Stayed here for 4 nights for a 1st time experience of Boston. Were not told when booking, that the airport shuttle [$16 for 2] had to be reserved 24hrs in advance, therefore had to pay for taxi to the hotel. Not a great start but kudos to the manager - we received the fare off our 1st nights room rate.
Were upgraded to 6th floor suite w.r.t. being B.W. rewards member which meant one could order minimalist continental breakfast items to be delivered to the room from a card to be hung on the door handle the night before.
The room was quite comfortable, a mini suite with a separate bedroom, 2 TV's, mini bar fridge, microwave and coffeemaker and ensuite BR. King bed with duvet nice, however only the sheer bedroom curtains would draw closed which made sleeping a bit difficult as the street lights shone into the room.
The complimentary continental breakfast [coffee, tea, juices, cold hard boiled eggs, cereals, bagels/bread via the slowest toaster known to man, yogurts, oranges/apples and some breakfast pastries with a self serve waffle maker Sun] was quite adequate but seating limited - easy to take tray up to one's room.
Complimentary internet near elevators with 2 computers and free printing was nice touch. Available internet connection in one's suite.
The complimentary shuttle to T-stops and major shopping centre was helpful - most of the drivers were quite pleasant and helpful.
The main drawback to this hotel was the location - on the outskirts of town in an industrial setting with only MacDonald's and a pizza joint across the street. Had a 10 min walk to the nearest bus stop to then access the subway and downtown/attractions.
Would be worth the extra cost to stay closer to Boston central and avoid the extra time/hassle of buses and subways back and forth esp evenings for dinner.
Nothing to do around this hotel in the evenings.
