2-Star Hotels in Massachusetts, United States

The location of this hostel is amazing! I stayed there for two nights in a six bed female dorm. The sheets were fresh and the hostel clean. Looking at some reviews here please keep something in mind: This is a hostel with a lot of people going in and out. Boston is an expensive city and you can’t find hotels in that location for less that $300-400 a night during busy seasons. So while this hostel might seem expensive at first, it is relatively cheap in comparison to hotels. Also consider the taxes. My bed was $69 but after tax, membership and all, I came close to a $100. Also, you’ll be sharing a room. There will be people coming in and out….what else would you expect? Earplugs and eyeshades go a long way. People come to Boston for different reasons, so they won’t be on the same schedule as you! However I thought everyone did great sticking to the quite times from 11-7. The mornings can get busy using the bathrooms, so plan accordingly. I thought it was a really cool place where you could work to many sights! I am glad I stayed there and saved myself from getting expensive hotels. Instead I used the saved money to explore the city’s sights, great coffees and delicious restaurants! Great stay!

Older dated hotel, but for the price point its a great value. Airport shuttle was much appreciated, given all traffic and road closures. Room was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was above average for a Ramada. Fruit, breads, bagels, waffles, oatmeal, eggs, sausage, cereal, milk, juice and coffee. Breakfast choices were plentiful. There is a bowling alley next door, and store/deli across the busy road. I used Uber to get to my planned excursions in downtown. The outside and layout of the hotel is not very appealing, but for the price point, the hotel was a good value. You must sign up for airport return shuttle the day before, and it only leaves promptly at the top of the hour. Again, for the price, it’s great value. Recommend

I get a free upgrade to single room which is nice. Yet one thing unacceptable is the staff open my door while I am sleeping, saying he doesn't realize this room is occupied. Other than that, the room is clean and modern.

Plenty of storage. Room service appropriately priced. Housekeeping doesn't always speak English but they will replenish towels and sheets, but will heavily bang on the door. Not remote worker friendly. Balconies are decent but not cleaned. Respond well when SA occurs, we're quick to hand WSPD the footage. Felt safe there even though that happened to my mom and the deadbolt lock snapped with my kid in the room. Actually pet friendly. Descent breakfast bar. Bathroom leaked through the wall and balcony doors can be rough to open but we've been to worse since being displaced from a house fire.

Though the customer service at the front desk was great, other things weren’t. When we arrived in our room, we immediately noticed gross stains on the lamp shades and walls. We had a lunchbox with a few snacks for our toddler and when we woke up found chewed holes from mice in the lunch box and multiple bags of food. The bathtub would fill during a shower and took about 20-30 minutes to empty afterwards. Half of the outlets in the room didn’t work. And Convenient for out of staters the breakfast area was closed. My fiancé and I agreed that it’s not worth saving money and from now on we are sticking with Marriott or Hilton!

We stayed the night here after landing in Boston extremely late at night, and had a great night's stay. The hotel is conveniently located not too far from the airport, and offers free airport shuttles every half an hour. From the outside, the hotel appears a bit shabby, but don't let that fool you, this hotel is wonderful. When we arrived, a friendly front-door checked us in and answered our questions, and helped us find a restaurant that was still open for delivery. While the hallways were a bit outdated, all of the amenities were serviceable and worked smoothly. Our room was very comfortable and spacious; in particular, the couch was also surprisingly comfy. There's free parking, although ask at the front desk about a parking pass (and be careful not to park in the restaurant's spaces). Free breakfast was served between 6:00-9:30 AM, and included a very big spread (including scrambled eggs, waffles, cereals, and juices). This hotel is also among the more affordable of the hotels near the airport, so we definitely got a good deal for a comfortable stay. All in all, we will stay here again.

The two women booked a twin room but were given a king-size bed room. When adjusting the room, the communication with the manager was not smooth and the attitude was bad. The hotel is very far from anywhere and the three-day transportation cost several hundred dollars!!!

I stayed in the Hampton Inn because of it's proximity to my doctors office. It was forecasted to snow and my doctor's appointment was absolutely necessary for me to receive my infusion of medication on schedule despite the forecasted snow. The service I received was good although it began with some confusion about my bill. My reservation was prepaid but it took a while to find this information in the hotel's computer system. I had a restful evening and got to my appointment in the morning without incident and for this I am grateful. There were a few issues that I think need to be addressed. First, ice was not available on each floor and there was no complimentary water in my room. I was disappointed with the unsatisfactory condition of the refrigerator and there was no recycling bin in my room. There was no handle or bar on the shower door to open the door after showering and there was no place to put my towel convenient to the shower stall once I was done. The toilet paper holder was awkward to use forcing me to remove the toilet paper from it and leave it on the sink. These issues are minor in nature but cumulatively they made my stay below average for the price I paid. It was not horrible and no part of my stay was compromised but I have stayed at other Hampton Inns that were exceptional, which is why I chose this one for this important stay. I did have a choice of a Marriot equidistant from my doctor's office. In the future, if I am in need of staying overnight convenient to my doctor's office, I will give the Marriot a chance. Thank you for your attention to these issues and I am hopeful that they are addressed to make the stay of other travelers exceptional.

I was visiting family in the area when I stayed and couldn’t be more happy with my stay. The front desk was extremely helpful and polite when being checked in. Then the room was nice and clean. Which was big for me since I’ve stayed at other hotels in the area and have been disappointed with the cleanliness. On top of that they had an amazing breakfast buffet in the morning. Overall I’d recommend this hotel to everyone I know and look forward to staying again.

Service and Amenities section would have scored “5” if there was an iron in the room. The ironing board was present. Location is tricky because you learn from listening to Directions that you must drive through a plaza and pass a Planet Fitness, then take a right turn. Some signage to Property would be helpful. Otherwise, I had a great stay, and will go again.

I stayed at the Oasis Guest House for a couple of nights in early July. I had booked a 1 person shared bathroom room but was upgraded to an ensuite room. I loved staying at the Oasis Guest House. There's something very comforting about seeing the same faces at the front desk every day. Being able to have a friendly chat with them about the neighborhood as you come home or head out. Staying in a place that blends into the neighborhood rather than seeking to dominate it. Boston is a very walkable city with great public transportation options and the Oasis Guest House is well situated to let you head out and explore the city. The property is centrally air conditioned and kept at a comfortable temperature. There was also a small fan in the room which I didn't need but was nice to have on hand. There was also a spare blanket in the dresser which I didn't need but was nice to have on hand. The room was not large but was perfectly comfortable and a very relaxing place to return to after a day of walking around the city. The bathroom was very clean. The shower space was a bit tight but worked well. I will definitely be returning to the Oasis Guest House on my next trip to Boston.

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!!!

We stayed here for one night before moving to a Cambridge hotel. Rates are certainly much cheaper than a Boston or Cambridge hotel, and rooms are big. As this was the middle of our trip, we took advantage of the coin-operated laundry facilities, which was great. Closes early though; i think 10pm, which is not ideal if you have several loads to do. Breakfast was good: standard for Fairfield Inns. Front desk staff not friendly, but not rude. Tip: choose and ask for room nearer the elevator. We were given rooms near the end of the corridor, and it was quite a long walk for seniors with luggage! Choose room carefully if distance from room to elevator is an issue Nothing to see anywhere near the hotel, but for an overnight airport hotel at the start or end of a trip, it is ok.

The hotel is new, clean and colourful. Nice to have hot chocolate drink upon check in. Coffee, tea, hot water, still water and sparkling water is available at lobby for self service 24/7. We had a nice morning walk to the nearby Revere Beach.

A lot bit loud due to it being next to a main road but besides that it was great.

This place was the perfect location. It was less than 8 min walk to the Andrew redline station and that gets you to downtown in less than 5min or so. Great service by the gentlemen in the front and house cleaners. The price was fair and can’t beat the free breakfast. Eat heavy breakfast and enjoy lunch and dinner exploring various restaurants. Would come back to this location the next I visit Boston.

Writing about our recent stay at 20 Temple Place from October 18th to October 21st, 2024. The experience was unacceptable on many fronts. 1. Elevator Failure ~ When we booked this rental, one of the key features was the availability of an elevator, as my husband (age 77, with a hip replacement) and I (age 74) cannot easily navigate stairs. Unfortunately, after the first day, the elevator broke down and remained out of service for the remainder of our stay. We had to climb up and down four flights of stairs multiple times a day, which was physically grueling, especially for my husband due to his medical condition. What is more concerning is that, when we reached out about this issue, we were informed that they are already aware of the problem, yet neither disclosed this to us before our arrival nor made any efforts to resolve it during our stay. 2. Substandard Conditions of the Property ~ Aside from the elevator, the overall condition of the apartment was far below the expectations set by your listing. Specific issues include: • The bed: It was like sinking into a marshmallow with no support, making it extremely uncomfortable to sleep. • Street noise: The noise levels were unbearable at night, leading to very little rest. • Shower issues: The water temperature fluctuated unexpectedly, and the water pressure was inconsistent, which made showering unpleasant. • Couch: It had no support—when sitting, the bottom simply gave way, making it uncomfortable to use. • TV: It did not function at all, displaying endless error messages. • Cleanliness: We found dirty socks from a former tenant under the bed, which is completely unacceptable in terms of cleanliness. • Kitchen: It was poorly equipped with nothing useful for cooking, despite the listing suggesting otherwise. We would have relocated, however, all hotels were booked as this was a popular weekend in Boston.

If you are looking for a cost-effective place, this is it. After all, Boston is very expensive and hygienic. The general facilities are also relatively old, especially the sound insulation is poor. However, it is surrounded by Boston University. There are many Asian restaurants, Chinese and Korean food. It is very convenient. It is simply Chinatown. Generally speaking, you ask for it. If it’s not very high, you can definitely stay there to save money and convenience.

The two women booked a twin room but were given a king-size bed room. When adjusting the room, the communication with the manager was not smooth and the attitude was bad. The hotel is very far from anywhere and the three-day transportation cost several hundred dollars!!!

It's a very new hotel with all facilities, free parking, and it's very convenient to get to Boston city by car or public transportation. The breakfast environment is good. It's pretty good among Western-style breakfasts. It has everything you need. The room was clean and the bedding had no smell.

So impressed with my experience at this hotel. Room is so clean, there’s a free parking garage, and it’s calm and quiet. Will definitely love to stay here again. Rooms are large and the bathroom is more than sufficient. Highly recommend it!

The location of the hotel is near the subway station Wellington. It is a bit far from the city but it is also very convenient to take the subway. The hotel has a buffet breakfast, and the rooms are bigger and newer than those in New York. The experience is very good.

Stayed for a week at this location. Parking is plentiful and comes at no charge. The property could use a renovation as it's dated and showing the wear of the years. The floors in the room squeak/pop. The room was sufficient, clean, and comfortable. The television had plenty of channels including HBO 1 and 2. Breakfast was pretty good and always well stocked. I'd still stay again if I were in the area, to accumulate Hilton Honors points.

This inn used to be really great, being cheaper than most and really well situated, being near Boston. The breakfast used to be really good also, but it’s not offered anymore. However the inn didn’t age really well. First the parking lot is in an awful state, so be careful with your car. Our room was in really bad shape: the bath tub was rusty, the AC noisy and there was a blind in the window, but no drapes, so the sunlight was entering the room by the side in the morning, waking us up. The ice machine wasn’t working. And there was only one set of towel in the room for two queen beds. Note that there is no service in the room, nobody come to make the beds and empty the trash. The worst part for us pas the problems with the door. On the second day of our stay, we realised that the door of the room wasn’t locking at all. We were assured that it would be fixes first thing in the morning, but when we arrived the following evening, the door was still unlocked. We were lucky that nothing was stolen. I tried to talk with a manager to request a discount and was told they would contact me during the week, but they never did. I tried to contact them through Expedia and they didn’t care to offer anything. Lately I tried to contact them directly and once again they assured me they would call me back, but 2 weeks later I still didn’t hear for them. This hotel and the management clearly didn’t care for their clients and the quality of their installation, so avoid this place.

My husband and I sold our home and were traveling through to South Carolina. We realized we desperately needed to sleep and just pulling into a rest area wasn’t going to cut it. I rolled in, bleary eyed and half asleep at 2am on 3/25 after making the reservation on the phone. I cannot remember the name of the woman at the front desk because information was just not sticking, but she was SO wonderful. First, she made an exception for us because we have two dogs when they usually only allow one. She also offered enough bottles water for all of us, dogs included, and put us on the first floor for ease with the pups. The room was clean and comfortable, and we were able to sleep for 5-6 hours before getting back on the road in the morning. I just wanted to take a moment to recognize and express my gratitude for the lovely woman at the desk overnight for being so kind to a couple exhausted from moving all day!

We really liked the place and it’s close to everything. It's quiet and clean

I would say the only thing positive about this location is the rooms. They are super clean and updated. As well as the night time manager is super accommodating. As far as the other employees they could care less. Night time manager even charged me half the deposit because I frequent here. The elevator is beat up and dated. The carpets in some hallways haven't been deep cleaned since the 1800s. Mostly all the soda and snack machines steal your money. The pool is surprisingly decent. I have only ever taken a swim once. The best thing is they allow animals for free. My little guy loves the night manager because he gives him treats constantly. This hotel has some super potential. Because you can hop on 93 and be in Boston with no traffic in 15 mins. Right next to market basket and some shopping/restaurants. If they renovated. Cleaned up and hired some more staff that care like the night shift manager, this place would be sold out every day without a doubt. Definitely room for improvement no doubt about that. But it is well worth the price. The rooms and beds are EXTREMELY nice. Just a drive away from Boston. Highly recommend solely off the rooms and beds in the room!
