The whole reason we booked this hotel was for the pool/rock climbing wall. We even called ahead of time to make sure it was open. When we arrived, the pool was closed. Our bedsheets were dirty. Our room was very VERY loud at night due to the outside roads and people gathering in the hotel parking lot. Our room was also VERY drafty. Even though the large windows were closed/lock there was a major breeze coming in from outside. We would not recommend this place and wont stay again.

Kumar the manager was friendly, welcoming and extremely helpful. He was like a breath of fresh air. Extremely polite from the moment I called to ask about early check in and restaurant recommendations to the moment my family walked in the doors to check in. He even greeted us with a little goodie bag of waters and snacks for my kids and a comped breakfast for myself and my kids father. Then we ordered dinner at Draft and the lady working there was very polite and helpful and explained that my 2 year olds meal would be free. She even called up to my room to let us know when our food was ready. Pool area is spacious with plenty for the family to do (rock climbing, swimming, basketball, movies playing on a large screen, foosball). Overall, I highly recommend this hotel.

Honest review
This was somewhat of a great stay. The check in process with Gina and her colleagues (I forgot their names 😔) but they all were exceptional. My family stayed at this hotel because it was my daughters 16 birthday and she wanted to swim with her friends and cousin. This place has just that along with a rock climbing wall, half court basketball, and table games. The only downside was, the pool area was cold and this is November in New England! I went to the desk twice to see if they could put up the heat nothing was done… Also, the door to the pool area wouldn’t let you in with your guest room key. Lastly, the basketballs they had were worn and deflated a little. With the pieces their charging it shouldn’t be hard to have a few decent basketballs and a functioning door and heat in the pool area… Our rooms were great but the shower in room 421 has issues. The tub would fill up when showering unless you played with the control (takes a little playing with in order to make it work) The breakfast buffet is good! It’s you’re standard breakfast and is worth it if you have kids. It’s all you can eat and saves you some money! Jean in the breakfast area is amazing!! Very friendly and attentive!! We would stay here again for sure..

I didn’t get the breakfast vouchers on the first day even though they had been included in the booking. The staff told me that I had to come to the reception every morning and pick them up, which is ridiculous as other guests got theirs for all days of their stay. The cleaning was not done on the fourth day of my stay. The hotel refused to issue a receipt on the grounds that the booking had been done via online service. Staff needs a lot of professional training.

Having read some negative reviews, I was delighted by my stay. Very big and comfortable room (bathroom was also a good size), friendly and obliging staff, a decent (but small) gym. Easy to get to the centre of Boston by the T - two stations are within walking distance - and the neighbourhood felt very safe. The only negative is the 6 am wake up call which was not asked for. When I asked for this not to happen again, two wake up calls occurred in quick succession early the following morning. Overall, a good stay.

Hotel was nice but the cleanliness of the bathroom was no up to par. There was several pieces of black long hair in the shower which is not mine and shared this with the staff at the front desk. They didn’t do anything about it and said that it would be noted. The shower knob was broken and my boyfriend and I had to hold it for each other or the water would be scolding hot. We also shared this with the front desk staff and also didn’t do anything about it.

The pluses of this property: excellent public transportation options in walking distance, great breakfast buffet, clean room, shuttle service available to Harvard Square and other locations. The negative: when we arrived the room had no soap. When we asked the staff member brought us one tiny bar for two people for three days. We actually went out and bought our own. Keys constantly got deprogrammed. Rugs in the elevators are disgusting. Overall I would stay here again but be prepared with your own toiletries!

Service was poor. Do Not Recommend!!!
The hotel was in good shape. It could have been cleaner, but it was ok. The service was hit or miss. Some staff were great, but others were not at all. We encountered several rude staff members. One that stands out was the life guard at the pool. He had a heavy smell of marijuana, and he was very rude to our family. Additionally, the hours for the pool were listed on the website, the brochure, and the door going into the pool as closing at 10pm on Friday and Saturday, but they kicked us out at 9pm. Overall I would not recommend this hotel. We will not stay here again in the future.

Frontdesk said my room isn’t ready since 4 pm we waited til 439 pm. We got keycard but didnt give me breakfast card that we paid. Door bell and tv remote aren’t working. Batteries DEAD! The bathroom door won’t shut n not lock No private. Night time, my daughter cried because she pressed doorbell to get me attention to open the door but not. Doorbell flashes don’t worked. Morning the staff won’t let me in breafast without the card I paid. I am deaf and lost for a while. After the staff apologized me that he reviewed the computer said I paid breakfast reservation with two night rooms. The staff wasn’t pay attention and maids didn’t do good job to double check to make sure flash doorbell worked and tv remote too. I left AC on and gone for 7 hrs walking around downtown and looked forward arrived the room I put AC on , sadly it was OFF. It was so hot in the room I wasn’t happy. I don’t highly recommend Holiday Inn here.

Not my best experience
When we checked in and received our room keys, we went to that room room. There we found a dirty towel on the tv stand, the chair was moved up against the bed and there was a dryer drying the floor. Then in the bathroom the toilet seat was up with urine in the toilet. The room also did not have a king bed and that is what we paid for. We left that room and went back to the front desk. We were given another room and keys. We rushed up to that room to drop our stuff off since we were going to a game and needed to get moving. Those keys did not work! We had to go back down to the front desk and get the keys reprogrammed. At that point we just put our luggage in my car so we could go catch the T. When we got back we grabbed our stuff and headed up to the room. Those keys did not work either. VERY FRUSTRATING. The location was good for what we needed it for, but for the price that we paid, I was not impressed. I think we should have been offered something other than a free breakfast that we had no time to eat.

Definitely needs updating. Cable was stuck on one channel. We called the front desk at 6:00 p.m. they said they'd send someone up. Then we called again at 8:30 p.m. because no one had arrived. And then at 1:00 a.m. someone knocked on our door which I'm assuming was maintenance but unfortunately because my family was sleeping I did not answer. The mini fridge didn't really get cold enough to keep drinks in it. One of the elevators didn't work and just overall in the hallways pieces of the wall are falling apart. The room itself was clean and decent. The kids loved the pool area because it had basketball and rock climbing as well.

Comfortable stay for the Boston Marathon
We had a comfortable stay for the Boston Marathon weekend. The staff did a good job welcoming us and celebrating the event. Beds were comfy, hot breakfast good and especially welcome since there aren't other choices in the area. My only wish is that the hotel wasn't so far from shops and restaurants. The nearest train station is about a 10 minute walk from which you can get anywhere in the city but the walk itself is not the nicest. I do recommend it, however, and would stay here again.

Holiday Inns in the Midwest (where I'm from) are easily 4/5 stars for me, and I've stayed at several. So I had no qualms about booking this one for 2 nights - complete faith! Our floor (and only our floor) smelled like fish guts. We told the staff about it as soon as we got there and they had zero interest in correcting the problem. The hotel restaurant staff was completely incompetent and the one washer was out of order - again, the staff had zero care. This was definitely the low light of a week long vacation... don't do it!

Good value. Spotless property. Friendly staff. Minor issues: (1)Spare toilet paper roll behind the active roll made it very difficult to pull paper from the active roll. (2) Front desk had NO available cash, so housekeeping got stiffed rather than tip $20 (smallest bill I had) for a 2-night stay. I have suggestions/thoughts about this. Contact me if you wish) (3) The cold drink selection in the lobby was out of the water Thursday evening and nearly empty by Saturday morning.

The lobby is in great condition, and the front desk staff were okay. Not inviting but not rude or anything. I was told in an email that the pool was open saturdays from 9am to 9pm. But when we got here to check in around 430-5 pm i was told the pool was closed and it closed at noon. We got into our room and the bed is mediocre, and the sleeper couch had NO sheets or blanket. And i ended up with a room on the 9th floor when i have 2 kids, so that was fun. I just dont see why the rooms are over 200 dollars when you dont even get to use half the amenities when you check in. At least the restaurant had good food and my kids got to eat for free.

They finaly changed our room but the new room had lights thay did not work and no soap or shampoo in the bathroom. Additionally, there were no towels for the pool for 5 hours. I've been traveling all over for world for 34 years. This has to be once of the worst experiences I've ever had. I'm very disappointed with Holiday Inn.
