Boston Hotel Buckminster - Boston 42.34861, -71.09769

From the previous reviews people had said you get what you pay for. Which is about right... Its just a room with a bed. The beds are very hard... which i didnt mind cuz i like a hard bed... but it was harder then a youd expect at a hotel. The building is a little old. The room itself seemed clean enough, as well as the bathroom. but the shower/tub was pretty gross.... which made me think the rest of the place was dirty and i just couldnt see it.

Convieniently located to parking, mass transit, Fenway, BU, Backbay, restaurants, fast food, Dunkin Donuts, 711, etc. Staff was knowledgable, eager to help, curteous, polite, helpful, etc. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The bathroom was a bit small but adequate and clean. The only negative I can come up with is the size and age of the televisions.

I'd give it a 3 or 4 star rating! I've stayed at this hotel 3 times in the last 3 years and it's great. Granted it's more vintage than some of the other hotels around Boston, but the overall comfort and service is outstanding for the price. This time around, our room had a view of Fenway Park which is always great. I like that there are kitchens and laundry on every floor (those come in handy especially with the snowy weather- you can pop your wet items right into the dryer!) Every room has a microwave, refridgerator, and safe. Location is just right- the T stop and bus station is across the street, a couple decent bars and restaurants are available within walking distance. Plus, you get a continental breakfast which is always nice. The only downside I'd say is the guest business service- they have 1 computer and the internet was having problems during my stay.

the only issues we had with this hotel are that the staff did not vacuum under the bed for at least a year and the bed was as stiff as a board. there was a mini fridge and microwave and the free breakfast in the morning was impressive. pizzeria unos is right below the hotel, there is a parking area connected to the hotel that costs $18 a day, and it's right in the heart of boston.

If you are looking for a big room, friendly front desk, and just a place to stay - this works. Bathroom floors needed much better cleaning - everything is old (bed, chairs, small elevators etc.)- but an ok place. It's an over 100 year old hotel that makes most of the above justifiable (except the cleaning). A walk around the corner from Fenway and the university which works nicely.

Good hotel for those not too concerned about above average room quality. The price paid (relatively inexpensive) equals the quality of the room (average). Great hotel for those attending a Red Sox game--no more than 2 blocks away from Fenway. Close to a great mode of transportation, the T-system (subway trains).

Just not a pleasant atmosphere, old and "ugly"

Hotel was easy to find right in Kenmore Square. Easy access to the T and central bus stop. People were helpful in finding our way around. Really nice area. Room was clean, hotel personnel were very helpful. Parking on location, a big plus in Boston. Only issue was water in our room was only lukewarm. Uno's Restaurant and Sushi/Kakoke right in hotel with others in the neighborhood - McDonalds & Bertucci's.
