3-Star Hotels in Massachusetts, United States

The hotel itself was clean, the bed was very comfortable, and the housekeeping staff was especially kind and attentive - we truly appreciated their work and hospitality. However, we experienced a serious issue regarding the resort fee policy, which left us feeling confused and misled as international guests. During online booking, the resort fee was listed as $25 per night, but important information about additional mandatory charges only appeared after payment was completed, when cancellation was no longer possible, wich is disappointing. Upon arrival, we were charged $200, which was later explained as $25 per person per night - something that was not clearly communicated during the booking process or at check-in. Initially, we believed this payment was a refundable deposit, as no clear explanation was provided. What felt particularly unacceptable was the way additional fees appeared in multiple stages: 1. extra charges becoming visible only after payment and confirmation, 2. additional payments required again upon arrival at the hotel, and 3. further unexplained charges after checkout - in our case, an additional $16 was withdrawn without clear justification. A staff member kindly explained that the resort fee includes Wi-Fi, water, and tea in the room, which we did use as they are standard services normally included in hotel stays worldwide. The fee also covered additional optional amenities such as bicycle parking and a complimentary alcoholic drink at the bar. However, we did not use these extra amenities, as they were not relevant to our stay. Since these services are optional by nature, it was unclear why guests are not given the choice to opt out instead of being required to pay for them regardless of usage. Even more concerning is that these mandatory resort fees are presented as payment for comfort and amenities, yet the overall stay did not fully reflect this. The soundproofing in the hotel is very poor, and we could clearly hear the neighbour’s television. The manual heating system in our room also did not function properly. We chose not to report these issues at the time because we spent little time in the hotel and did not expect the final cost of the stay to become so high. In hindsight, considering the total amount paid, these comfort issues become more significant. We strongly believe that all mandatory taxes and service fees should be transparently included in the total hotel price from the beginning. When fees continue to appear after payment, during check-in, and even after departure, guests understandably feel uncomfortable and misled. Because the final amount paid was much higher than expected, we realized that for the same total price we could have chosen a better hotel without additional hidden fees - which we in fact did for our following stay. We kindly ask the hotel to review these charges and consider a partial refund, as greater transparency and fairness in pricing would greatly improve trust and the overall guest experience

It's quite convenient in Burlington, with shopping malls and various restaurants just outside. The room layout is very homely, very suitable for family travel and permanent residence!

Good environment, the room is fully functional, clean, breakfast is good, the price is reasonable under the current hotel price in Boston

The location is average and the health status is okay. We were doing business there, so we chose. If you are traveling, it will be more troublesome, because a taxi to the city costs 30 US dollars, and it also costs 30 US dollars to go to Harvard University. There are no slippers and toiletries in the room, which is not found in American hotels, which is very strange. Breakfast is mainly cold meals. Just treat it as an express hotel. Don't compare it with Hilton in China, you will be disappointed.

The room was clean. The key scanner on the door, the cover kept falling from the door every time it shut. No Hispanic channels available on the TV to watch. The room did not have a do not disturb sign, each room should have that sign. Staff went in the room when I was not in the room, even though I told them not to. The front desk was friendly and helpful. They were able to provide us with any necessities. An appliance was not working properly and they provided a working one to the room instantly. Elevators worked well. Good internet connection. Thank you for your business.

The breakfast was great. I assume all rooms come with it, but no one asked me when I was there. Hot water and coffee are available at all times. There are plenty of shuttle buses that go to every terminal. When I first arrived, I couldn't find the hotel at the airport and ended up paying extra for a taxi. I made sure to take a picture on my way back to the airport for everyone's reference.

The location is great, very close to Chinatown and the Boston Public Library. It's very clean, with simple yet trendy decor that has a unique revolutionary feel. The service is excellent. However, the room is small and the bathroom is outside the room, which feels a bit pricey, but I guess that's the going rate for a central Boston location.

A stylish, industrial-themed hotel with a perfect location! It's close to famous breakfast spots and a lobster chain. Two subway stations are practically on its doorstep, and Boston Common is also nearby. Truly close to everything! The room didn't have a coffee maker or kettle, and the shower pressure was quite low. My room key had some vouchers tucked inside, but the front desk didn't offer any information about the hotel's facilities beyond collecting the deposit and handing over the key card – not a single word. However, the cleaning staff and other employees were all very friendly.

The room was of comfortable size and I particularly appreciated that the room was made up daily. Friendly staff and good service in general.  The Grab and Go Bistro offered a good selection of breakfast choices, while the quality of dishes served at the Bisuteki (Japanese restaurant) by the lobby has much room for improvement, given the high prices! I also liked that the hotel is sandwiched between Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods Market, with a Blue Bikes dock just a couple mins walk from the lobby, very convenient.

From South Station to the hotel is closer than I thought only $25-35ish for Uber. For subway take 15 mind from the hotel to the station. The room is big and clean, the shuttle bus service is so good only take 10 mins or less if no traffic from hotel to airport.
