I had the pleasure of staying at the Holiday Inn over the last weekend. I was amazed at the rooms it was clean and nicely decorated. It looks like they were recently done. The desk clerks were unbelievably helpful. It’s a great property and almost half the price of the Boston Hotels. It’s also located right on the T line.... More

My wife and I and our 1-year-old stayed here on a family vacation. The room appeared new and was spotless, with a very comfortable king-size bed. The staff was very kind and helpful, and the breakfast was decent, with hot and cold options. We did not rent a car, but this hotel did have free parking, rare in Boston. It's... More

The family was only there for a night - extending a weekend visit from outside of Boston. From the time we checked in, it was a lovely visit. I can't say that I have had a nicer manager anywhere. We checked in at 10:30 and breakfast was still being served. He offered it to us, but we had already eaten.... More

I stayed there for 5 nights with my husband and my 2y old child. We were so impressed with the location, great breakfast, comfortable room and very helpful staff. Special thanks to Jimmy, Semir and Joe. Next time I go to Boston, I will stay there for sure!

Friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable room. Delicious hot cinnamon rolls were one item offered at complimentary breakfast. Close to Lechmere stop on the MBTA. Only snag in our stay was a plumbing problem that was quickly fixed.

We stayed here during our visit to MIT and Harvard in early April. The hotel is less than 10 mins walk to the T, but its quite a walk to MIT and not walking distance to Harvard (for most people). The rooms are tight, but well kept and ergonomically designed. The breakfast has a couple of hot items - cheese... More

Positives: Staff was friendly, room was clean. Good breakfast, spin wheel to get extra priority club points Negatives: No fitness facilities, mattresses were firmer than most HIEx (we like softer mattresses). Requested room away from elevators but was put only two doors down
