Hotels near Charles River in Boston

The room is well soundproofed and the bed is quite comfortable. The hotel is in a very good location and has convenient transportation. The facilities are a bit old and the front desk staff has a somewhat cold attitude.

The location is relatively good. There was also a convenience store nearby. I'm happy with my life. Although we stayed for consecutive nights, it was disappointing that there was no cleaning at all after the first night.

Shuttle comes automatically every 15-20 minutes: No need to call. Hotel is less than 5 minutes from airport. Breakfast is superior and included in the rate. This morning I had corned beef hash, a pancake with strawberries/syrup on top and a made-to-order omelet with several ingredients. There is luggage storage if you need to kill time after check out. The television is very large with comfortable bed.

This address (239) is the front desk, the actual place to live is reallocated, but all are in the surrounding neighborhood. This time I lived on stephon street. The location is ok. There are two main roads. There is a whole food supermarket and CVS within a 2-3 minute walk. There are places to eat everywhere. It is a 10 minute walk to the convention center and Prudential mall The transportation is very convenient. Living a bit like a bed and breakfast, no elevator, it is good to have such a place in Houwan District, where the space is large, there is not much room after the queen bed, there is a folding sofa bed outside, enough for 2 people to sleep after deployment, the kitchen The equipment is complete, you can cook by yourself, the overall feeling is OK!

The room is large and well-equipped, but the wifi needs to be charged separately. The sanitation is very good, the bedding and the toilet are very clean. There are many restaurants and apple stores near the hotel.

My two sisters and I stayed in this hotel while attending a Bruno Mars concert at the MGM Music Hall, Fenway. When we arrived at the hotel, they front desk said that our reservation had been cancelled by someone who had all my sister's information. She had booked the hotel in May 2022 for a September stay. We were in the air en route to Boston when this occurred. They hotel put us in room 922. At 11:30 that night, someone tried to enter the room with a pass key. We were in our pj's and it scared us to death. We immediately call the Front Desk...the first 4 times we called...no one picked up the phone. On the 5th try, I got the Night Manager, and he was abrasive and rude. He said ”Your room is supposed to be empty as you have checked out.” I replied that this was not possible as we are standing right here talking to you. He said with much annoyance in his voice ”I don't know what is going on.....I will check you in” and he hung up. My sister called again requesting we be put into a near by IHG property as we did not feel safe in this room/hotel. They never called us. We checked out, caught our plane back to Norfolk, VA and on the way out of the airport, another Manager called and was embarrassed by all the shenanigans that took place and offered to comp our stay. Days later when my sister followed up, they said they were comping us for 1 night only. This was NOT what my sister was told upon our return to Norfolk. Every step of the way at this property was a nightmare. We had to get our own towels, there was nowhere to eat on the property other than breakfast and it was an overall extremely poor representation of IHG properties. The Front Desk staff was so unprofessional and did not seem to have a clue on how to operate the tasks at hand. If you can find another place to stay.....run, don't walk to do so.

Location of the hotel couldn’t be beat! It was within walking distance to almost every highlight of Boston. Typically we pick a place to stay with free breakfast but there weren’t many to choose from for the location we wanted. Our room didn’t have a view but that’s to be expected in a downtown area. Also would’ve been nice to have a hot tub or something to sit in at the end of the night. Only random complaint I have was actually the size of the bathroom. This might be a weird thing to complain about but I think because the bathroom was so large and didn’t seem to be heated well and when I did try to take a bath (yes I bathe in hotel bathtubs) it got cold very quickly.  I was disappointed they don’t have all ADA accommodations. The captioning didn’t work for half of the television shows, there were no flashing lights or doorbell for my husband who is deaf. I understand the building is old but it seemed like some of those things probably could be added. We didn’t interact with the staff much. We kept our privacy door hanger at the whole time so I can’t anything about housekeeping except the room was clean when we arrived. Overall the stay was good for the cost. And we would definitely pick this hotel again simply for the location.

The reception staff are sooooooo nice! The room’s quiet, clean and well-decorated! Free, delicious breakfast is served from 6-10am. Love this place! I would totally come again!!!

Oct2022: 3⭐: I selected this hotel as a result of needing a place close to the house with easy access to the airport. I selected this hotel through the Bonvoy app based on it fitting the criteria I desired. I wasn't able to get to the hotel until the afternoon hours about 1700. I picked up my spouse from the airport and we decided to get her checked in at the hotel on the way to the hospital down the toll road. I noted that the hotel was difficult to enter and it took a bit of concentration to locate the front entrance of the hotel as it sits over top of the tollway 90. There were two handicapped parking areas available at the check in lot. There is a pay parking garage attached to the hotel and adjacent to the front entrance into the hotel. The parking garage has more handicapped parking areas available and regular parking as well. The areas are not good for large trucks or RVs. The entrance was located and I parked and we went into the hotel. We walked to the front desk and a female worker didn't greet us, didn't say hello, nor did she say welcome to the hotel. The worker said ”give me your id”. My wife was standing there to my side and I looked to see if there was someone else there we had stepped in front of or cut in line. There was no one there but us. My wife said what did she say? Is this the check in desk? I commented that this is the check in window, right? What happened to the smile, good afternoon, welcome to Sheraton, or just hello. DEMANDING my identification upon entering the building was definitely not appropriate. Having a bad day isn't MY fault. I have a choice to choose this location, not the other way around. We finished the check in at the desk, paid for parking, and we went to the room. We dropped off the bags and found that the bathroom door sags and does not properly close as it's hitting the bottom of the frame. One of the window blinds wasn't properly functional. The noise canceling device and the traffic was something to tolerate. Some vehicle drivers passing under the hotel on the tollway, enjoyed throttling the engine. This added noise to an already bad situation. Decent area food spots are walking distance from the hotel.

Very good hotel, good location, more than 20 minutes from MIT and Harvard University, room facilities are good, but also cooking. Pots and pans are complete, dishwasher is also very good, large refrigerator Very real, free parking, great, staying here next time.
