Just stayed here for three nights, came to Boston to watch the Red Sox and tour Fenway Park, the location of the Buckminster is second to none! We had a view of Fenway from our 6th floor room. The Hotel is old and it could use some updating, but it was clean and the staff was extremely friendly and very helpful. They have a nice breakfast in the morning which lasts until 10:30, hot Waffles, bagels, cereal, yogurt, fruit, etc.
The best thing the Buckminster has going for it is the location! You are so close to Fenway Park, it's a very short walk to the Old ballpark, if you are going for the Red Sox experience this place is hard to beat. Other conveniences located close by are a Barnes and Noble bookstore, a Qdabo Mexican Grill, a McDonalds and a 7-Eleven, also connected to the Buckminster are two different restaurants, Popeyes Chicken and UNO. The Cask and Flagon and several other sports bars are right there also.
The "T" subway train stop "Kenmore" is just a couple of minutes from the Hotel also, making it very convenient coming from the airport, it will only cost you $2.50 per person to ride from Logan Airport to the Buckminster.
I loved my stay here and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a more cost effective place to stay, if you need the luxury of a 5-star Hotel, you might want to look somewhere else.
