Hotel room was okay and on the most part clean. Front desk people were very helpful and friendly, always had a smile. Can't say the same for one of the Asst.

After reading reviews of the hotel, I expected to worst. My family had booked rooms for a wedding and even though we didn't get the best room (since we needed one earlier than regular check-in), it was just fine - clean, comfortable and no HVAC issues at all. Even noise was not an issue (except for one instance, more on... More

The only reason I would again stay at this property is its convenient location to family in Brookline. The location is great, right on Beacon St, close walking distance to shopping, restaurants, hospitals, etc. I think I was assigned the worst room in the hotel after booking online via Holiday Inn's website. My room was first floor, closest to the... More

We are disappointed that your experience at the hotel during your resent stay was not satisfactory. The hotel has several different room types and room configurations, and am glad that you were able to finally get a room that was better suited for you, as some of our rooms do indeed have stand up showers rather than tubs. I can... More

Worst experience ever. I attended a 2-day conference there, ran into some problems in the parking garage which could be easily resolved. I was charged the full overnight parking fee instead of the reduced daytime fee that was advertized to conference participants. I have personally gone back to ask for a refund, with no results.
