Central location, budget hotel

by Aym

My family stays here regularly when they come into town. It's nothing fancy, and showing a little wear and tear, but you can't beat it for convenience and the prices are quite reasonable.

• Pros: Convenient location, decent prices, swimming pool
• Cons: A little run down, no restaurant

Tourist-class hotel offers great prices and a convenient Back Bay location.

The Scene
This two-story property may not offer extravagance, but the rooms are clean and more than suitable for budget-minded travelers. Visitors enjoy easy strolls to neighboring highlights such as the Museum of Fine Arts and Copley Square, and prime access to waterfront attractions along Boston Harbor. The hotel is minutes from public transportation that can take you quickly and cheaply to most anywhere in the city you'd like to go.

The Details
Guest rooms offer standard amenities and plenty of space, though bathrooms can be a bit of a squeeze. Accommodations that face away from the main drag where the hotel is located are a better bet for peace and quiet. Families can enjoy the option of adjoining rooms. The heated outdoor swimming pool is a highlight, as well as being one of the few extra facilities you'll find here. An on-site cafe serves breakfast only.
