Boston Common Hotel

It's an old hotel badly in need of renovation and

Positiv: It was air conditioned and well located

Negativ: The room smelled bad and the bathtub drain area was corroded and black. No wifi in the rooms.

Positiv: It was well located and relatively inexpensive and the bed was comfortable.

Negativ: However, it was very worn and the corners in the bathroom were dirty. The tub was disgusting. The carpet was torn and dirty. Although cheaper than other hotels, it was not cheap -- $262 for one night. I would not stay there again.

Bugs in bathroom. Mold in shower. Pretty bad.

Positiv: Location

Negativ: The bathroom was small but had bugs. Also the caulking in the shower was black mold.

Positiv: We liked that it was close to the T stations. It was very quite there. I liked the location.

Negativ: The ad said that they had a complimentary breakfast, but there wasn't one. The beds weren't that comfortable.

Poor hotel and staff - avoid unless absolutely nec

Positiv: Good location - within a few minutes walking distance to Back Bay Station.

Negativ: My expectations were low to begin with, but this hotel was awful. The staff was incredibly rude, and not helpful with check in or validating parking. The hotel had low occupancy and still they put LOUD guests in the rooms on either side of me (just poor room planning) and they were shouting obscenities in the hall until 1am. Calls to the front desk went unanswered. The room was very small with a poor quality bathroom; my college dorm was nicer than this room as a whole. The hallways smelled of smoke even though this is supposedly a smoke-free facility. I work in hotels, and like I said, my expectations were low for the price, but this wasn't even average quality. I would never stay here again.
