I am grateful that I stayed at the Howard Johnson Hotel in Boston (next to Fenway Park). I had to stay in Boston apox. three weeks and I needed a hotel close to the Harvard Brigham and Women's Hospital, where I was getting a kidney transplant. Most importantly, I needed it to be clean because of the risk of infections. The hospital recommended the Howard Johnson and staying there was a great relief for me, and my family.
The hotel staff was always very kind to us and was ready to help when needed. This might seem like trivial details, but when you are sick it makes a difference. And everyone was very patient and respectful trying to understand our English, which was not perfect, and we never had a misunderstanding.
Another important thing was that the housekeepers cleaned the room everyday thoroughly and diligently. This showed also in the lobby/reception area that was always very cleaned and felt welcoming. Also, the microwave and mini refrigerator in the room saved us a lot of money.
The check in and check out was very quick and without a problem.
The free shuttle to the hospital was reliable and the drivers were very helpful and punctual. I also think their hospital rate is reasonable, and the privacy and tidiness of the rooms are completely worth it.
The location of this hotel is also a great plus. There’s a supermarket, a pharmacy and some fast food vendors within walking distance of the hotel. You can also walk to downtown Boston from this hotel!
I think that it is very important to know that there are affordable hotels like this one that offer very good services and have such a great and polite staff! It really made a difference during my stay in Boston.
