The room was spotless. As soon as I checked in, I received a text asking me if everything is ok.
The breakfast area was well stocked. As soon as an item ran out, the kitchen help replaced it promptly.
I always love staying at Holiday Inn because of their clean rooms and consistent, complimentary breakfast! Breakfast offers a diverse selection of options, including eggs, potatoes, pancakes, bacon, sausage, oatmeal, and fruits. Rooms are a great size and spacious.
Parking was difficult to get to, but the hotel was clean, staff were great, and breakfast was yummy!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Tyler was very professional and kind during check-in process. He was able to provide places to eat or shop during my stay. The tv channel selection could be upgraded.
Room was clean and location was easy to walk to subway station - less than 10min walk. Lobby staff was kind and accommodating. It also included free breakfast!
Great location close to downtown Boston. The Lechmere train station is a short walk away.
The price compared to downtown Boston was significantly less, and just a short train right away.
This was a nice place to stay just outside of Boston. Friendly staff. Spacious room. Walkable neighborhood. Clean and comfortable. Fairly typical free breakfast, although the breakfast room was very crowded on the weekend.
The staff was very friendly. Our room was a comfortable size and very clean. Best of all, the complementary breakfast was REALLY good! Lots of choices, warm eggs and sausage/bacon.
Hotel seemed unclean and many things in disrepair, lift button lights, lifts, tiles broken was just not welcoming look and experience, staff were great and food was good!
We were using the T as our transportation and it was close to a station which was great for us. We also had some terrible rain, and there were dining options that really helped us keep from having to go out in the rain. Staff was friendly. Great location for us.
