“Great experience and value! Will return for sure.”

Reviewed 9 May 2013

Pricing- I called the direct line for the hotel and was informed by Ally at the front desk that there were no more "travel agent" rates/space at the hotel. Surprisingly, I called the Best Western 800- number and received contrary information and they gladly gave me a discounted travel agent rate and indicated that there was plenty of space! I... More

“Convenient but pricey.”

Reviewed 6 May 2013 via mobile

Rooms are clean and not claustrophobic, but carpets need to be replaced--some were pretty gross. However, breakfasts are basic but have something for everyone, and its location right on the T make it convenient. They do, however charge you for that convenience!

“Overpriced budget motel”

Reviewed 19 April 2013

We stayed here for four days during the Boston Marathon, a time when the entire city jacks up its hotel rates to obscene amounts. With an ARPP rate, and re-booking the first and last nights a few days prior, we were able to get the rates "down" to $224 for the first and last nights, and $279 for the two... More

“Great location for BU or BC”

Reviewed 10 April 2013

This is actually a motel, which is usually not my preference. However this one is an exception. Some of the rooms feel like a hotel room when you walk in. The window is on the other side where the beds are so you don't have to keep the curtains closed for privacy from everyone walking by. I had a room... More

“Convenient location ... that's it”

Reviewed 8 April 2013

This hotel is very conveniently located to the surrounding college campuses, but is in desperate need of renovation. The window was broken, the bathrooms do not have exhaust fans, and the grounds were cluttered with cigarette butts. The continental breakfast was a nice plus and the variety and cleanliness of the serving area was excellent.

Dear Beth M, We are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your stay at the Best Western University Hotel. We are especially disappointed to hear that the window was broken in your room and that there were littered cigarettes on the grounds! Being a smoke-free property, we find that some guests will go outside and smoke, leaving the... More

The location was perfect for me, as I was visiting friends. It might be a bit far out if you're looking to visit the city centre but there are good transport links.
