Habitación cómoda, lugar tranquilo aunque un poco lejos del centro.
Pros:

La amabilidad del front desk

Cons:

Un mesero en el desayuno. Tuve que levantarme dos veces a pedirle café mientras a las mesas de a la par les preguntaba que querían.

It was okay but not what I was expecting at all from a holiday inn.
Pros:

Friendly staff

Cons:

Requested a cot almost 2 months before travel and was confirmed by hotel that it was added to my reservation but when I showed up they advised that cots cant go in standard rooms due to fire regulations which made for uncomfortable sleeping conditions for myself and family. Carpet was dirty. Sitting Chair was dirty and base boards were dusty. Had to fight with the coffee machine to get it to work.

Cons:

I was refused a stay because I was under the age of 21. This was not listed anywhere on their site, and I am still awaiting the refund I was promised

Buono ma troppo costoso
Pros:

Questo hotel è un ottimo 3* e potrebbe tranquillamente essere un 4*

Cons:

Il costo è veramente eccessivo: é vero che si trova vicino a Boston, ma è in un altro comune, é in periferia e la metropolitana non è vicinissima. Anche con tutti i servizi che offre costa decisamente troppo

Good relative value and clean, but need to clarify its website on the breakfast policy.
Pros:

Place is closer to downtown Boston than I thought. Very clean. Nice staff.

Cons:

The website noted the breakfast appeared to be included in the price. But, onsite, the staff stated either a voucher or a $15.00 payment was required. The front desk reiterated that, only to be overruled by a supervisor who I asked to become involved. She did not seem thrilled. Either HI or Booking.com needs to clarify this better on the website. Boston’s hotel prices were exceedingly high this week, including this HI, which exacerbated this breakfast charge/no charge problem.

Buona colazione, 2 stazioni metro a poco meno di 1 km di distanza, servizio navetta limitato ma sempre utile.

Cons:

Qualche suggerimento in più sui posti da visitare; per il resto tuttook

Well, it was pretty disappointing.
Pros:

The location is very good, also FD’s attention,

Cons:

Very poor cleanliness. There was hair on the bed, as if the sheets were never changed. Fortunately, I had my own sheets and was too tired to make a scene, I just needed to rest. To make matters worse, we also found hair in the tub and sink, which was really disgusting.

Disappointing stay with unaddressed noise issues
Cons:

We spent two nights here, and unfortunately, noise was a major issue both nights. Our next-door neighbors were extremely loud until 4:30 AM. We called the front desk multiple times to report it. On the first night, security was sent up after our first call, but it had no lasting effect and the disruption continued. Despite calling again and following up the next night, the situation wasn't handled and we got very little sleep throughout our stay. Additionally, the hotel is quite dated. Overall, the lack of effective noise management made for a frustrating stay. I wouldn't recommend staying in the future.

needs a makeover
Pros:

large room with good large window and excellent sir conditioning. comfy beds, a heated pool, gym and business center.

Cons:

the decor was dark and dingy. while being reasonably clean, it did little to lift one's spirits
the gym was just a small room without air conditioning with near zero equipment, definitely needs attention.
