I'd recommend the Bulfinch to anyone coming to Boston. I travelled as a single woman and found the service at the hotel to be good, and the location fine - no problems walking to and from town in the evening.
Positives:
Very modern decor in the rooms;
Cosy comfortable beds;
Reliable, complimentary high-speed internet access, if you have a laptop;
Very clean - housekeeping was excellent;
Powerful shower and a large cubicle;
Excellent steaks in the restaurant downstairs.
Negatives:
No room service (but, as has been mentioned elsewhere - there are many fast-food joints round the corner, near the Garden and numerous restaurants in the main town);
It's slightly out of the main tourist drag - but no more than a 10 minute walk to the Faneuil Hall shopping area along a pretty busy main road. Very close to the Garden - if you're here for a sporting event.
