• Staying at the hotel served our family purpose and would stay there again. The hotel was close for to where we were going.
• The bathroom door would not close correctly. Other than this it was a pleasant stay.

“The lobby and the rooms of the hotel were very clean, the family stayed only for over night purposes. We would recommend anyone to stay there. It's just a hop to the fen way park area.”

• Location and view.
• I can't think of anything...

“I loved my stay at the Buckminster! I only stayed one night and wished that I could have stayed a week. I had made plans to go to a sox game and I was really worried about booking this hotel because of reviews that I had read on this site and other travel sites. I have nothing to complain about. We stayed on the 6th floor and had a great view of fen way. The hotel is old but not dirty. The room we stayed in was large and the bed was the most comfortable hotel bed I have ever slept in. Also, the wooden shutters blocked out the noise from the street. The next time I stay in Boston, it will be at the Buckminster.”

• Clean, affordable and central
• None for the price

“Unassuming, clean, friendly, ordinary rooms in a very central location. In the heart of BU campus, with ATMs, cafes, bookstores, train and bus stops, parking garages (several) across the street. One can walk to Pru, Fenway, Newbury, and Brookline. Front desk was accomodating to requests for extra pillows, ethernet cables. Cleaning staff was diligent and there are laundry rooms on each floor. High-speed internet in every room - a boon, since there are virtually no internet cafes in Boston and wi-fi spots (StarBucks) are a joke. There are 2 parking spots in front of hotel doors, on Beacon Street, that do not require $$ (reserved valet spots, but the hotel does not have valet and the spots are available on a 1st-come basis) and plenty of metered spots along Beacon as well as Brookline. Maluken is a great little restaurant, just off the lobby that serves early breakfast and good sushi. My room had a view of I-90, my old apartment on St. Mary's street and the Photonics building and a slice of Fenway park lights.”
