The hotel and the room were very clean and convenient for what we needed for seeing a show at the TD Garden. The road noise and thin walls were not great since we could hear everything including housekeeping talking in the next room. The gentleman who checked us in was not warm or welcoming. He also ran my card (improperly as I watched) and then said it declined. I then entered it and it went through fine. The woman who checked us out had more of a warm personality and at least said good morning and asked how our stay was.

It's always helpful to have easy parking available onsite, even though it's costly. The free breakfast buffet was very nice but not in a good location. It's too crowded and in a nook that is not laid out well.

First time in Boston area. Really loved the city. We were visiting some colleges in Cambridge and found this small Fairfield Inn relatively convenient -- walkable to M.I.T and an easy train ride to Harvard from MIT. Train station was within a 5 minute walk for rides into Boston. Grocery store not a far walk either. I've always found Fairfield Inns affordable without compromising any cleanliness or safety. Internet connection was no problem here. Plus, I always love the complimentary buffet breakfast with plenty of hot food, fruit and cereals/yogurts. More choices than I could eat in one breakfast.
