Best Western Boston

Great location within a block of the Washington Street Station on the Green Line; walking distance to a great selection of restaurants on Beacon Street; Pleasant, courteous, helpful staff, and free parking.

Terrace is right

Checked in quickly at 4pm. Building is located on top of a small hill so there are lot's of 2 and 3 step stairs going up and down. Room was well used but not unacceptable. 1/4 inch crack under entrance door. Front office staff was very informative and quick. Breakfast selection was good. 10 minute walk to subway going downtown. Use $2 tickets if you're going in and out once.

Friendly people--hotel needs work

Very friendly and helpful front desk clerk. Room was clean, however bathroom sink drain plug was broken, so no way to fill sink. No ventilation in the bathroom. Hotel was difficult get to if heading out of Boston...had to pull an (illegal?) u-turn to get to it.

Very comfortable place.

The hotel was in the perfect place for us. across the street from our college age child's apartment. Also perfect because it was right on the T for great transportation.

Not worth the money

We were only there for 1 night and that was more than enough. The room was not clean and there was some kind of film on the tables. The water temperature in the shower kept fluctuating while in the shower. We were woken up at 7am by housekeeping cleaning the room next to us and banging the vacuum against the wall where the bed was. Security was a concern as they did not check my id upon registering. They refused to give me a receipt since I booked with [...]. There are so many reserved parking spots, there were not enough spots for guests so we created our own spot. Overall, not worth the money at all. Way overprices for what looks like a converted short-stay motel.
