“Older hotel, convenient to BID and the Brigham”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 December 2011 via mobile

Stayed here for a residency interview so got a pretty good rate. Rooms were just okay. Older decor but a very comfortable bed. No natural light in some rooms because it is a converted motel. Staff was nice. Room service was okay.

“not really a typical holiday inn!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 December 2011

we spent three nights in a ground room floor.
No daylight at all,not a single city view ,only one window with an inside view on an empty meeting room...excepted once with a dozen of old men.
Decent bathroom.
Dinner was ordinary,poor choice,poor quality,poor and rough service...not exactly lively!
At 11.10p.m bar was already closed,impossible to have a drink .
Fortunately it was not my holiday inn first time ,otherwise never more holiday inn!

However,good location for visiting the city,near tramway stop.

“You will regret staying here”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 December 2011 via mobile

One elevator for the entire hotel. People in the middle floors couldn't get on as it was always full when it got to them. Horrible wait service at breakfast buffet. No one new their jobs. Both days, upon return from the breakfast buffet, they had cleared the table, trashing full coffees and juices. I had booked two Queens, they gave my reservation away and only had Kings available. I'd rather sleep in my car than stay here again.

“OK for short stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2011

We stayed one night as part of a New England in the Fall tour. Hotel was very clean and the rooms well appointed and very comfortable. Went out to dinner and when we returned the bar/reception area was very busy and we could not get served. The complimentary breakfast was adequate but nothing special and the only seating was some distance from the buffet area.

All in all it was fine for a one or two night stay.

Room Tip: Out facing rooms are probably quieter.

Thank you for your comments regarding the hotel, we are pleased that you found the accommodations and cleanliness to your liking, as we pride ourselves in making sure that we live up to our guests expectations. Regarding the location of your table and seats during breakfast, with the many tour groups the hotel accommodates, and some of the size of those groups, we provide a separate dining area adjacent to our breakfast buffet in order to allow all of the guests on the tour to dine together as one group. We hope that if your travels take you back to Boston/Brookline you will choose to stay with us, thank you again for taking the time to share your experience with us.
