The Midtown Hotel - Boston

More like a motel than an hotel. Adequate: wifi great, shower fine. Table rather than a desk (table too high without added pillows to chair). Vending machines broken or with old stuff. Staff very helpful.

conveniently located to where we needed to be to transact our business.

Great, very helpful personal. But room was very noisy. You can hear how people talk in the next room, they did not talk loud, normal voice, but you can hear every words. No ventilation in the room, you have to open the window and it was even more noise from the street.

The hotel is in a great area with really convenient parking. Unfortunately the room was really warm and there was no way to control the air conditioning. Opening the one small window helped a bit, but the morning traffic was quite loud and disruptive. Also, the cleaning staff was overly eager to clean my room and knocked on my door four times within […] two hours. The first time they knocked it woke me up. Complaining to the hotel staff was pointless, as they did not even apologize. Luckily, the hotels.com staff was receptive to my concerns. I would not go back to Midtown hotel. Read more

This is a no frill hotel which is centrally located and very close to Metro subway, Prudential Building, symphony hall and many other sites. It is a budget oriented hotel which more than adequately serves those who want to spend limited monies on accommodations. .

I've stayed in many hotels in my life, but never before have experienced one like the Midtown Hotel. In fact, I've never even posted a review to hotels.com before, but had such a bad experience I wanted to share with other travellers. Yes, I have stayed in equally dirty, (perhaps even creepy) hotels, but none that were as expensive as my stay at MIdtown. […] The hotel is one of those places where you are afraid to touch anything it looks so dirty - the place is really falling apart, and no effort has been made to maintain a quality environment. It may have been nice....in the 1960s when it first opened. Unfortunately no upgrades or cleaning has been done since then. I would reccomend staying..... only if you bring your own Tyvek body suit to prevent contamination Read more

The hotel staff was very helpful with early check-in and they have the best parking rate plan.

There's no problem with the Midtown beyond that is sad. Those old rooms with carpet and a flower duvet, plastic in the shower (and a noise in te bathroom that you could no avoid if the light was on). Good location though.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The rooms were clean and comfortable and staff very helpful and friendly. The property is in a great location for walking to the BM expo, the Red Sox, museum, and BM finish line. The property is showing wear and amenities are sparse but for the rate you really can beat the convenience. With the money I saved compared with other hotels made up for any […] small short falls.

I thought $22 to park the car in the garage for the night was extremely overpriced. It made an affordable rate rise to another level. I could have stayed in a more expensive hotel with better amenities and free parking for the price of this hotel with parking.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This is a basic hotel in an expensive part of Boston. They give you the basic bed and shower and charge you for anything extra, WIFI, breakfast, parking. Don't take your wife here for a romantic weekend. This worked for me because I got what I paid for and needed no extras.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

First off it was resonably priced and staff was very pleasant so that is a plus, but what I didn't notice in the picture online when I was booking as all that it showed was is the an awning of the motel and looking at other buildings Because when we showed up a few weeks ago it was a 2 story older dated motel not at all a hotel. Parking was an additional […] $20 so thats something that needs to be added to total cost when comparing hotels. Read more

Clean, basic accommodations walking distance to Pru Ctr, Symphony Hall, New England Concervatory, Museum of Fine Arts & Northeastern U. A good value. Staff was friendly and helpful.

staff friendly and helpful. Room pleasant and comfortable, but 2 full sized beds for a family of 4 was just a little close.

The midtown was great for the price. Perfectly located in back bay. The service was great. everyone was super helpful. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who was looking to stay in the back bay area.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We have stayed at this hotel multiple times. While the building itself is dated we have always had a good stay. The rooms are pretty good sized and have always been clean. Also the staff is always very accommodating and helpful. Bottom line, this hotel is nothing fancy but it is clean, the staff is good, and the location can't be beat. If you are looking […] for a location that is close to everything, downtown, the Public Gardens, MoFA, Copley Square, The Pru, Fenway, Newbury, etc. this location can't be beat. Read more

great

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This hotel was excellent for my needs as a place to crash while in the city. The rooms definitely need updating from the 60's decor, but are clean and comfortable. I happily accept dated versus overpriced modern. I requested a room away from the street, most rooms front Hunterdon Ave (a major highway), and the FD staff was very accommodating. The hotel […] is three blocks from Back Bay Station and one block from Symphony Hall Read more

Not quite what I expected -- the initial room assigned had a foul odor and the wrong bed configuration. The management was very polite about moving us to a different room for the remainder of our stay, and that was nice since they certainly didn't have to. The hotel is a bit old and tired, the decor is a bit shabby, a bit dirty, the comforters on the […] beds are fairly unpleasant (though the beds themselves are serviceable) and one of the main, unattended entrance doors didn't actually shut. It is convenient to the Hynes center and Amtrak station, and is priced it seems primarily for location and not for amenities. On the whole, despite the fact that the management was more helpful and polite than most, the hotel itself a touch below average. Read more

Let's do the postive first. The receptionist was exceptionally helpful and very personable. The room was pleasant and clean. Also, we could walk to most all of the places for which we came. However, it was the weekend of an event at the Berkley School of Music. There were hoards of exuberant teenagers. Not only were they excessively loud but the noise […] continued into the wee hours of the morning. Lots of loud door slamming too! Once I rolled up a kleenex and put them in my ears I could finally sleep. That was when we both realized that we could have used a couple more pillows. In addition, the next morning, the llight over the sink went out and we could not see to do our ablutions. It was difficult for me to put on my makeup and for my husband to shave. I am not sure that anything could have been done about all the noise and I have no objections to their having fun. However, it did not make for a pleasant stay. Read more

An aging hotel, but can't be beat for the location and easy access to the subway.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Not a fancy room or lobby although the former was very spacious. No free internet on publicly available computers. But still a very good deal for the money.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hotel staff were VERY accommodating and knew exactly what we need before we could even ask. I had staff come to aid immediately to assist with my bags as I fussed with my infant daughter. I came in after 2AM one night and the hotel was secured from outsider just like they promised. A winter stay at this hotel for […] this price was best thing I had ever done. The only downfall to this hotel is the cost to park. The parking lot was WAY to expensive for actual hotel guests. In fact, it should have been included. Other then that I would definitely stay here again. Read more

Overall was nice. I would stay again if I chose that part of Boston again. Staff very helpful and polite. If u are looking for a simple but clean place to stay this would be a good choice. Parking was reasonable as well for the area.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I selected this hotel primarily for the distance from the event which I was attending. Truthfully, I wish I picked one of the ones a little further away. Beyond the layout problems of the hotel itself (finding my room was a bit of a trick), there was the untidy stains on the bedroom floor, the broken TV (about half the channels didn't have sound, the […] other half had extra sound, which is to say an unpleasant static accompanied by the top third of the picture breaking up), and then there was the lack of privacy. I assume the walls have to be paper thin because I could hear the conversations in the room adjacent to mine. A top of that there was a particularly weird noise coming from the wall behind the TV (it sounded like a pitiful cats meow). The local information packet that was in my room was out of date (both phone numbers and URLs for places were incorrect or defunct). And finally, in terms of the room, there was something outside the window from about 1 AM to 1:30 and then again from 2 AM to 2:30 that vibrated the window so hard that it kept me awake. I would have had loved to control if the fan in the vent stayed on as well. The only good thing I can say about this place some of the staff was friendly and helpful. Read more

We were pleased that we could find a hotel room for such a reasonable price and to also reserve a room for one night. It worked so well with our schedule. The room was adequate and clean. We found the hotel staff very friendly and helpful. The location was convenient and we also appreciated the fact that we could leave our car in the parking garage […] three hours after we checked out without any charge. Read more

We loved the Midtown. Everything you need and very close to the T. Clean modern room with a beautiful view. We will be back.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The people were great! They were very friendly, helpful and did a great job. The hotel itself was "meh". It was okay. Nothing spectacular, nothing terrible. The walls are very thin, so I heard every single thing from the surrounding rooms. The vending machines near me were broken. The pool was closed for winter and the hotel doesn't have a restaurant. […] The room itself was pretty much like every other hotel room. Clean, a little worn. It was a really decent price, though, and there's a very nice restaurant just on the next block. It had a nice TV and a decent view. I'd recommend it for a business stay, but for a really nice holiday you might choose something a little less utilitarian. Read more

This hotel, does Not have: 1) Laundry Service and 2) Continental Breakfast. 3) the bathroom towels are not big enough. 5) the rooms don't have at least two pellows for at least two people in each room. 6) this hotel is quite noisy, is quite hard, to have a peaceful sleep.people are very unrespectful when it comes to others sleeping time. 7) the hotel, […] does not have minibars inside of the bedrooms. 8) Needs to have Free Wireless Internet Service to it's customers. 9) the window of my bedroom wasn't thick, meaning it was quite chilly seating next to the window.This hotel, need improvement. The hotel. In fact has a great location spot in terms to be moving around. It has a SHAWS Supermarket nearby and also the subway as well. Close to the hotel there is a restaurant, in which offers breakfast and lunch. I ended up my visit, not been happy with the hotel itself. I strongly think, that this hotel needs to have changes, if they want to increase their popularity as the hotel that is in the main center of Boston. I think, is a very poor service to customers by not having simply things. I do not, look for elegance, I'm simply focusing in comfort and a great and a better service. Read more

depressing. Room smelled odd, as if people had smoked in there in the past and the situation had been "remedied" by spraying air freshener. Bathroom had old and peeling wallpaper. Room was poorly lit. Less important, but unexpected for a hotel of the price: absolutely no gym and no bar.
