Holiday Inn Boston-Brookline - Brookline

I needed a place to stay while taking a course in the Longwood medical area, and this hotel served my purposes well. It was an easy walking distance (~1/2 mile) to the hospitals. It is located right on the Green line, with a stop directly across the street from the hotel (though service is sparse on the weekend). The hotel was clean and they responded […] quickly to the only issue I had with my room (non-functional TV remote). There was good water pressure in the shower and the bed was comfortable enough. There was some kind of function going on in the hotel, so there was quite a bit of ambient noise for the most part of my stay, as my room was right outside the main function area. Read more

Stayed on night. Clean and quite and easy access to Metro which we used to go to BU the next morning.

Overall it was "a place" to stay. Nothing special. The oillows are hard, and way small, like trying to sleep on rocks, and the shower drain didnot work, so while taking a shower, the water was filling the tub.......room and bathroom were clean. My room was near the indoor pool, which was a hangout for those who had nothing else to do, which kept me, […] a light sleeper, awake. Would I stay there again???? Doubt it......certainly not woth the price. Read more

While the hotel is close to public transit, it is not near many restaurants other other places of interest. My main issue, however, was over the cleanliness and poor maintenance of the property--from dirt in the corners of the bathroom an on the walls to a door that would not stay shut unless you used the deadbolt. Rooms face onto a central atrium area, […] with no outside window. The outside wall was so thin that noise from the atrium area was very annoying. I would not stay here again. Read more

While in Boston visiting a sick relative, we found we needed a place to stay overnight, at the last minute. We booked a room at 8:30 at night, arrived there at 9 ish and were delightfully surprised with our accommodations. The hotel was only minutes from our destination, parking was easy, check in quick, the room clean and well appointed. Would certainly […] reccommend this hotel and plan to stay there again.

This place would be good for two to a room; it was a little cramped with four (we just spent a weekend). Great staff and service. I thought we reserved queen beds and they were full beds; mattresses were way too soft.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Good location, expensive parking. Good for students or business.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We especially appreciated the shuttle service they provided to all our medical appointments. Every member of the hotel staff was kind and helpful.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

All was very good except for thermostat that did not work correctly; either very warm or blew cold air in when temp raised.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Very convenient to Boston and metro Boston locations

It was a not a pleasant stay at all... The AC in the room sounded like a tractor... And room was old, very old...

Very nice , clean,quiet and comfortable room. The staff was very helpful and attentive. The surrounding area was great for us because we like to walk, and when we needed to use the T it was just across the street! We have a daughter in college in the area and this will be our base of operations for our visits.

Everything is perfect except the pillow. It made me feel uncomfortable in the following days and still not recovered by today.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The pillows were like sleeping on rocks, the noise level prevented sleep (everyone walking by as well as those above and beside our room could be heard at all hours of the night). Sound proofing might help. The air conditioner did not work and since there were no windows the room was uncomfortably warm. I would not stay at another Holiday Inn, especially […] those without outside windows. Had to pay for parking as well, $24 for the night. Read more

I left a soda in the fridge my first day out, and evidently the setting was too cold, so the soda froze and exploded. I called to tell the front desk staff, and they brought up FOUR CANS of soda to replace the one I lost. This is just a small example of the way the staff goes out of their way to take care of their guests. I also like to stay here because […] the hotel is directly across from the train stop, and within easy walking distance of restaurants. Read more

I stayed here before last year and it was fine. Normal sized room on the 2nd or 3rd floor, good breakfast, etc. This time was completely different. I got a room on the first floor. The window looks out into the inside of the hotel, so pretty terrible view. The room was unbelievably small. As soon as I walked in, I could see a giant ink (I hope) stain […] on the sheets. How housekeeping didn't notice it while they were changing the sheets is beyond me. The walls were paper thin. So much so that I could hear every time the guy in the next room cough or sneeze. It was also nice to see a mouse running around while sitting at the bar Thursday night. Quite honestly, it was a completely different experience since my trip last year. Most definitely don't plan on staying here again next year. Read more

This hotel was nothing special. It wasn't bad, but just...blah. When I arrived before check in time the staff was very kind, even offering to notify me if my room was ready earlier; although I just checked my bags and went about my day. When I did return I was told I was in the "Executive Tower". Expectations were set. It turned out the awning over […] the entrance was directly in front of my window, blocking any sort of view, but allowing people below to see directly inside if the blinds were open. Also, there was dripping water in the ceiling of the bathroom and some dust on corners and backs of not often used parts of the room. Again though, the staff was accommodating, finding extra supplies when I needed them and quick to silence a rowdy room in the middle of the night. Also, the location of the hotel, right on the green line, was wonderful. Literally just cross the street and you're on your way. Read more

The hotel was adequate, close to the "t" and near my daughter's apartment. However, we felt like we were in a cave as there were no exterior windows in our room.

It's not in the central downtown area of Boston, but so what? The Holiday Inn in Brookline is in a really convenient location; the surrounding neighborhood has nice shops & eateries. The 66 bus line which runs along Harvard Avenue (a short walk from the hotel) will take you directly to Harvard Square. The GREEN Cleveland Circle transit line will take […] you into Backbay in 5 minutes; then, it stops directly in front of the hotel when you return. Need some snacks? Trader Joe's is a 2-block walk away. The hotel was clean, quiet, comfortable. Learn the transit system (very easy) and visit as if you were a local. Free Wi-fi available. If you don't need a hotel with a swanky spa experience or other high-brow amenities, this is the place for you. Read more

The location of the hotel was very convenient. The train/subway was right across the street and made getting around and seeing the historic sights in downtown Boston easy. The neighborhood was very nice and felt "safe" as we walked to and from town. The staff was very freindly and helpful. My only sugestion is that the hotel could use at least one more […] elevator. The one there was slow and often crowded. Read more

Great room for the price

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Near the T-stop. Much better rate than downtown.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The queen bed was more like a ful. The parking charge of $24 was excessive and the same price charged to a non hotel guest. There is no overnight parking allowed on the street so there is no choice.

Overall, the hotel was enjoyable. The location in Brookline made it cheaper than many Boston hotels, but it still had easy access to downtown. There was a pool, restaurant, and fitness center, as well as parking in the basement. The downside was the layout of my room. I had a room with a queen bed on the second floor, overlooking the indoor pool and […] restaurant. The dimensions were smaller than your standard hotel room and so it was a little cramped for two people. In addition, the only window looked out onto the interior hallway (it was on the same wall as the door), rather than the back of the building, so the curtains had to be drawn at all times for privacy from people walking by.

Stay was fine ,but I prepaid for breakfast and was charged again at restaurant. Emailed desk after stay no reply no refund

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel was way overpriced for what you get, only 20 channels are included on the tv and the pool is only open until 9. The bar was expensive and the bartender was very old and couldn't even get a simple drink order correct. The location to Fenway was the best thing about the hotel, only about a 15-20 minute walk to the stadium.

We went for one of the Springsteen concerts at Fenway. Hotel was convenient to the T and Fenway. Rooms were fine. Bathroom is really small but had what we needed. Only complaint was the organization of the breakfast buffet when we checked out. Staff was trying to handle everything. They were put in a position where they had to seat people, no one manning […] front station, take orders, bus tables and keep buffet filled. Felt bad for them. The food was excellent but the staff was just way overworked. Read more

This hotel was very nice. I had two issues. The first is that the parking was difficult, not in terms of convenience, but when we were trying to get in and out of the parking lot, it was not easy. There is no elevator visible when you get out of your car, so we were not sure if we were going to have to carry our luggage up a flight of stairs. The second […] was that in our room, there was a step up into the bathroom, and we are not youngsters. I had to keep remembering that I had to step up. However, the staff was terrific and very nice. The hallways in the hotel are not very bright but are adequate. The convenience of the MBTA is great. Read more

Great location, but needs updating. The shower floor was dirty looking, and the room was worn. The staff was very good and helpful.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Hotel was nice but had an outdated appearance and a faint smell of smoke. Comfy bed. Don't let them con you into parking there is plenty in the area for free.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The location was great in proximity to Boston University where I was taking a class. The bathroom could have been cleaner (bigger) would have liked a tub, but otherwise the room was nice.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This hotel is definitely in need of a renovation. The rooms and furnishings are very dated. The restaurant has few choices, poor food quality and poor ambience.
