If I could rate 0 stars I would. Firstly, this is not a hotel, this is a motel - fine. Upon walking into our unit we were met with a stuffy, mildew smelling hot room. The AC didn’t work whatsoever, and we had to sleep in a room that was 80+ degrees. The TV also didn’t work so we really had nothing to distract from the thick heat. The toilet barely worked - we discovered that we had to hold the flusher down for about a minute so that even just urine would flush. The shower curtain wasn’t hung up, it was just shoved into holes in the drywall. There were random stains and hairs all over the floors and in the bathtub. All we could hear all night was the neighbors with just one door between our rooms, yelling and screaming at small children. While I know that is not specifically the “hotel”’s fault, I would have hoped maybe a hotel staff could have helped the situation. Overall, the place smelt like cigarettes, the heat was unbearable, and the staff was unhelpful. I would never stay here again, and I recommend that you don’t either.

The hotel is convenient to the T which makes getting downtown and to Fenway easy. It’s an older hotel and could use some updating.

Booked room for 4 adults and a child and ended up having 2 ppl sleep on air mattresses as the room only had 1 king and a double couch. I mentioned to staff there was a disconnect and they mentioned issue was with Expedia. Was expecting to get some sort of discount to accommodate for the inconvenience.
