  • We liked the short distance to the "T", the cafe, the bar and the overall "feel".
  • Far from the airport.

“We enjoyed our stay. It was a very clean hotel with a very friendly staff. We took advantage of the bar, cafe for breakfast, and the closeness to the "T".”

  • Extremely convenient location.

“Many modern conveniences, updated, beautifully appointed rooms and shared spaces. Food was excellent. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Ample parking. Although situated next to the interstate, road noise was barely audible.”

  • Functional, smart, clean, and comfortable.
  • Needs better sound proofing for highway traffic and corridor.

“Enjoyed the stay, would stay again.”

“This was my almost perfect Boston area hotel, with user friendly modern design furnishings, organic towels and products!”

  • Great location near T station. Good friendly service. Uniquely decorated rooms.
  • Bathrooms in particular were tight. No countertop space except a narrow shelf.

“This would be a great hotel for a business traveler or a couple. We had three kids and the room was tight. Also, the lack of carpeting (an intentional style choice) was not what we were expecting. Loved the newer digital TV. Lack of continental breakfast was not as family friendly as we would have liked. Overall, the building has been re-modeled into a classy place squeezed into a moderate class hotel.”

  • Very convenient to my daughter's address, close to T.
  • Parking lot was poorly laid out.

“It has that new sleek decor that a lot of hotels are going for. I don't think it is particularly any better than the old. Besides eastern flair is too short for an older taller couple.”

  • Location.

“Nothing special.”

  • Terrific location right off rte. 128 - leaves the car and walk to subway station next door.
  • Hotel is old; rooms are on the small side.

“Great spot for the money. Staff were very accommodating - gave us an extra cot at no charge. We love the location right next to a subway stop - avoids city parking expenses and congestion but we can get into the city easily. Heat in our room was excessive and couldn't be controlled - we had to rely on the window to cool down. Small details not great - some noise from nearby elevator, funky control in shower, TV remote not working etc, but it's safe, comfortable, convenient, and inexpensive.”

  • Location worked for me.
  • Cheesy, old.

“Not much to say about it, old tired holiday inn near route 95/128 and Waltham, where my office is located. Price was right for what it was.”

  • 2nd room we received was nice
  • 1st room had broken toilet, phone and lights

“Desk clerk did not want to change a double bed room with broken phone and 2 lights broken. Said he would try next day. Toilet was broken also (found out 5 minutes later) and then he gave me the room he said I could have the next day. This room was nice. Hotel was clean and king size bed rooms were nice.”

  • Convenience to the "T" Green Line into Boston.
  • Beds were wobbly, wallpaper peeling, interior borderline shabby.

“A disappointment in a number of ways. The bed was wobbly, there was wallpaper peeling, the overall interiors looked JUST the o.k.-side of seedy, it wasn't bad, but wasn't as good as the Radisson we stayed in in New London, and nowhere near as good as the Courtyard by Marriot in Burlington, VT.”

  • Location next to stop.
  • Pool was closed most of the time.

“When traveling with children a pool is the first thing I look for when booking a room. This pool was closed most of the time.”

  • Great location.
  • Internet access code is provided on a request basis, and the clerks were slow to respond. And later, the Internet was not working properly.

“This is great hotel given the price and the location. Food is good. But if you are desperate to communicate with the world through broadband, this one is not recommended. We will revisit the hotel for next family tour to Boston.”

  • Free internet; close to Green Line T.
  • Run down; noisy; no amenities.

“This hotel is conveniently located within an easy walk of the Green Line T and immediately off I95. There is nothing else (restaurants, shops, etc) anywhere nearby. Hotel has seen better days; outdoor pool has limited hours; noisy, especially the toilets. Small bar area inside the restaurant. Not up to the usual Holiday Inn standards.”

  • Clean. helpful friendly staff, great restaurant.
  • None.

“I would recommend this hotel to anybody. Rooms were big, bathrooms well equipped with thick soft towels. We enjoyed the daily USA TODAY news paper. It was very quiet during evening and night hours. The restaurant had great food. We shall go there again.”

  • Good location & easy to go in any direction.
  • Provide information what is included in your service.

“We were cordially welcomed by reception staff, but we were not made aware what kind of services were available, I. e. breakfast,... It is not our first time to use Holiday Inn and assure you we will continue to use it for the coming years. Thanks for the hospitality.”

  • Was convenient to the highway.
  • Room was very small, bathroom dirty, dishes dirty.

“Overall, it was just okay. I just hope that the hotels don't give people a lousy room just because they get a good deal on the rate.”
