With only 3 or 4 days until we arrived in Boston we phoned around from the list in the guidebook, and this was the cheapest with vacancy.
The room was small, but everything worked very well - quiet aircon, HD TV, great shower in a glass cubicle (with soft water) rather than nasty curtains. The coffee machine with constant free vend in reception was also very good - US coffee is generally not very good, kept warm in jugs to go stale, but this was fresh made to your own specs, and free.
The receptionists were all genuinely friendly and helpful, and just really nice.
The ground floor is given over to a gay sports bar, and as a hetero couple not into sport was of limited appeal!
The neighbourhood is nice, characterful old residential buildings all nicely kept, and there's a good traditional diner just around the corner for breakfast & lunch, and a good bar for lunch & dinner, as well as a well stocked convenience store.
