Pros: Good price. Clean. Small hotel. Convenient to TD Gardens
Cons: My car was "trapped"until 3pm the day I needed to leave due to the Patriot's parade, but I was not informed of that until I tried to leave at 11am. I would have left earlier if I knew. Also the room had a mild smell of exhaust.

Boston Charm
Pros: The staff were lovely and helpful. The hotel was charming and nicely appointed. Loved that it felt like we were staying in an historical building that was part of the Boston story.

Great Hotel
Pros: Great location for sightseeing. Friendly and edgy boutique hotel. Good breakfast, fast wifi, small gym although we did not use it. Rooms small but well equipped and comfy bed. Staff were ultra friendly and very willing to help and make suggestions for our tourist activities.
Cons: nothing really, would have liked a slightly bigger room for the money we paid, kept banging our legs on the corners of the bed as there was very little space between end of bed and table.

The Boxer Hotel gets good...
Pros: Loved the room as we were on the top floor and had big wrap around windows. Loved the curtains and privacy feature that still allowed you to see out while letting the sun in. The shower was huge and the bathroom was roomy and modern. The location is convenient for subway access, walking distance to TD Gardens and the concert we went to as well as close to attractions, pubs and restaurants too.
Cons: The bed sitting area was carpeted. We're not crazy about carpeting as it can hide dirt however in this case it appeared in good shape and clean.
