Ramada Inn Boston - Boston 42.29489, -71.04728

reception staff not very organised, gave our room to someone else earlier in the day and took a while to sort out. The motel its self is fine for a couple of days with easy access to Boston, thanks to the shuttle bus. There is a very good pub with excellent food next door and bowling the otherside but not much else. Breakfast had a good choice and was part of the package even though Hotels.com`s paperwork said no breakfast?

This hotel is in a ghetto area near UMASS. The hotel is laid out really bad, with an open air hallway that is always damp. We saw mushrooms growing out of the cracks on the carpet. The room is okay, but the TV barely worked, and the pillows were like bricks. Housekeeping always turned off the heat, so when we got back at night it was freezing. The free breakfast is a good feature, and the shuttle service was the best selling point. It could be a decent hotel if they would clean, and do a little renovation. For the price it was an okay place as long as you didn't want to be at the hotel any longer than a couple hours to sleep. I will pay extra next time for a better location.

It was very unacceptable. Not close to any places of interest. Bad internet and loud people all around at all hours of the night. The only thing that was worth anything was the breakfast. great continental breakfast with free waffles and all sorts of good stuff. will probably pay extra to stay somewhere nicer and closer to downtown boston.

Good price for the value. Older hotel, but well maintained, breakfast is great, and convenient.

Not close to "T" (subway) stop but there is a courtesy shuttle that picks up and drops off guests every 1/2 hour.

I BOOKED THIS HOTEL FOR MY COMPANY BECAUSE THE PRICES WERE CHEAP. WE WERE ATTENDING A TRADESHOW AT THE WORLD TRADE CENTER FOR 6 DAYS AND ALL THE OTHER HOTELS WERE PRICED EXTREMELY HIGH. THE SHUTTLE PICKED US UP FROM THE AIRPORT WHEN WE CALLED TO TELL THEM WE ARRIVED. THE CHECK IN WAS OK AND OUT OF ALL THE EMPLOYEES WORKING ONLY ONE WAS RUDE, THE REST WERE VERY NICE ALL WEEK. THE HOTEL LOOKS SCARY ON THE OUTSIDE AND IN THE HALLWAY. IT TOOK THE THREE OF US ABOUT 15 MINUTES TO FIND ROOMS BECAUSE THE NUMBERS DO NOT GO IN ORDER. THE HALLWAYS ARE VERY VERY COLD, THEY SAID BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT INSULATED. THE ROOM ITSELF WAS VERY CLEAN AND COMPLETELY FINE. BEING A WOMAN, IT HAD EVERYTHING I NEEDED IN IT. THE ROOMS VERY ALITTLE CHILLY SO I KEPT THE TEMPERATURE TO 85DEGREES EVERYNIGHT. THE HOTEL HAS FREE BREAKFAST WHICH IS PRETTY NICE. THE RESTRAUNT ATTACHED TO THE HOTEL HAS OK FOOD AND PRICES. THE AREA SURROUNDING THE HOTEL IS PRETTY MUCH NOTHING SO IF YOUR GOING TO GO FOR A VACATION I WOULD PAY THE EXTRA AND STAY DOWNTOWN ...ITS TOO MUCH OF A PAIN TO KEEP GETTING ON THE SHUTTLE AND SUBWAY. THE SHUTTLE LEAVES EVERY HOUR BUT TO GET PICKED UP YOU HAVE TO CALL AND THEN WAIT. I WAITED ONCE ONLY 5 MINUTES AND ANOTHER TIME 1HR 15MINS FOR IT TO COME GET ME AND TWO OTHER GUYS. I TOOK THE SUBWAY TO DOWNTOWN BOSTON FROM THIS HOTEL AND IT WORKED OUT FINE. I WOULD ONLY SUGGEST THIS HOTEL IF YOUR GOING FOR BUSINESS AND HAVE A SCHEDULE THAT ISN'T SPECIFIC TIMES.

We needed to find a room quickly, and cheaply. We made plans at the last minute. We found this hotel, and the price was right! We were interested to see what it looked like when we got there. We were very surprised to find that the staff was very helpful, there was a shuttle from the T station every hour, and the room we stayed in was very clean and even visually appealing. There was breakfast included, and it was very nice! Overall, I would definitely recommend this room to anyone wanting to find a room quick and cheap. It is VERY nice for the money spent!

I found this hotel to meet my expectations in regards to location, convenience, and cleanliness. My two caveats are (1) I was placed in a first floor room that was in what I would call a "sun enclosure", that seemed to be an addition to the original building. The problem with that was that the hallway leading to my room was extremely cold and there is a lot of foot traffic past the room; (2) the business center was simply one (old) computer that I was not able to access because they had run out of internet cards

The hotel was okay for the price. The room had stuffy smell.

One reason I selected this hotel was that it was three miles from Logan Airport. However, when I departed at 0350 to drive to the airport for my 0550 flight, the Boston PD had closed the exit for the airport. I had to loop way around and sneak up on the airport on surface streets as though I was coming from Worcester... The PD had also closed other major arteries during my two weeks' stay, focusing on the Interstates and key avenues across town. Somebody needs to alert the mayor...

After an overnight flight I was told I could check-in....4 or 5 hours later I was finally able too....rude hotel staff!....RAT DROPPING ALL OVER ROOM!..filthy,filthy hotel....SMELLED...THIS PLACE IS A DUMP!!!don't waste your time here...NEVER never again in this dump.

The room smelled, there was flooding in the hallway. For the price we payed we should have gotten a lot more. The only plus side was the shuttle to the train station.

This was the cheapest place we could find in the Boston area, and it was a great place. Nice rooms, and a great breakfast buffet the next morning.

I don't mind staying in fleabag hotels with leaking toilets, damp floors, and uncertain locks, but I definitely mind paying too much for the privilege. The shuttle to the T station was a nice convenience, but the room frankly sucked--the second room, that is, after we had to change to get the nonsmoking room that we had requested.

The hotel was different of what I expected. The room had very bad smell, dirt smell, the air conditioner was terrible, it looked as if i were in a steam train, we had to turn it off to sleep. The complete hotel should have a overhall. If the Ramadas are all like this one we will never stop in one. Thanks,

It seems to be a converted Red Roof Inn. Not a bad hotel but not great. The employees were helpful and they had a shuttel to the T which was very nice.

I must say that I chose it because of the price but I have been in other hotels same price with better conditions. Romm with bad smell, smell of dirty, noisy air conditioner, seemed you were in a steam boat, we had to turn it off for the night. I would not recomend it. We looked for another hotel for the next night in Boston.

The reception desk was very helpful in suggestions of what to do. They called a taxi for us and it was there in about 5 minutes. Nice people and nice hotel. The only problem was the location, not much was around the hotel.

If you MUST have a flat screen TV and a room with a view, spend another $100. However, this hotel has all the basics you want in a room: clean, quiet, nice staff, fridge, TV, free wireless, free breakfast, airport shuttle, etc. Every half hour a shuttle runs to the nearest metro station and the rest of Boston is a short hop away. My only quibble is with breakfast. It's very crowded any time of morning and sometimes hard to find a table. But the price is right and we managed to eat a hearty breakfast every day. I would stay here again.

the hallways and the stairs need more maintenance to be more clean. but other than that was nice

Should provide microwave oven in each room

Not only did we have to switch rooms because the toilet wasn't working in our first room, but then we got stuck in a room next to a highway making it impossible to sleep. The two rooms next to us were occupied by a drunken group of college students who repeatedly would slam the door all night and knock on ours further worsening the sleep situation, especially for the children who were scared. The concierge were not helpful and when I asked for a discount because of my unsatisfactory stay, they agreed to it but it didn't go through. Overall, a very bad hotel. Ramadas are usually pretty nice and worth the price but this seemed like a cheap motel.

Nice place. Good price. Restaurants close by. Free shuttle service every 30 minutes.

our stay was very good. the room was clean and had everything you need for a comfortable stay, including iron and ironing board in the room.the sheets were white and the mattresses were o.k.it was quiet as well. however, i wish that the breakfast selection would be a little better.

This hotel is prob the worst Ive ever stayed in. The hotel condition is a 1. Gaps in framing, 2 mile walk for ice machine, and everything in just poor condition. Room contition is a 2. Bed is rock hard. Floors always wet and dirty. Bathroom is uber-cramped. You have to be in the shower to use the toilet. Tv worked every 10min or so. Everything you would expect out of a " $100" room in a city where the next cheapest room is double in cost.... Now the free parking and shuttle service to the T was huge. Saved a ton not paying for parking or having to worry about driving and getting car dinged up. There is a clarion inn that is an affiliate and offers same shuttle. That hotel actually looks like it's in respectable condition. Would prob stay there before going back to ramada.

Air condition was not cooling. We had 30 C over the night.

Room was adequate and fairly clean but outside corridors were dirty and had a bad smell. Since it was next to a highway it was very noisy although the noisy air conditioner hid that. The air conditioner had only one fan speed (high) which made an unpleasant draft.

Our room was located right next to the sales office and the pool was right outside our door. Every time someone walked by you felt like they were coming into the room. Walls seemed very thin. The bathroom shower was set up for a handicap person. The shower was unsatisfactory. The best part of the whole stay was the shuttle to the T (Subway). We saved lots of money by not having to park in the city of Boston. The 7 day pass that allows unlimited rides on the T is the best choice when staying in Boston. I definitely would stay in the hotel again just because of the shuttle service. It was very convenient for us.

The hallways all reeked of urine, the staff were not friendly, a fire alarm went off at 7 am because someone burned some toast, the maid walked into our room without knocking. Overall this was one of the worst hotel experiences I have ever been subjected too.

The hotel smelled funny, the people were rude, the location had quite a bit to be desired. My boyfriend had issues taking a shower because he had to duck down to get wet (the showerhead was hung very low) and he couldn't see all of his head in the mirror in the bathroom. At a whopping 6'1", it seemed that the room may have been designed for short people. There are also no windows in the room which of course didn't allow for ventilation (hence the funny smell). It was more what I would expect from a motel 8, not a Ramada.

considering what we paid, they could have cleaned the cob webs from under the AC unit, or at least got the smell out of the room. the location wasnt that great, but they did have a free shuttle to the train station, which was nice. there is a bowling alley right next to the hotel thats open 24 hours (dont be fooled by the "deli/restraunt" at the alley, its like a snack bar), theres also a bar next to the hotel, the food is good, but the bar is an older crowd....all in all, its not a terrible hotel, but i probally would look for something in boston next time

Conveniently located a short shuttle ride away from a T station, this room was priced well for the Boston area. The room was comfortable and clean. The beds were firm, which I appreciate. The bowling alley and restaurants were handy. The elevator was broken the first night, but was working the next day. We requested a micro fridge and it was delivered the next morning. The fresh waffles and good selection of breakfast choices were a hit. Recommended hotel.

First of all I asked for a non-smoking room but it smelled like cigars and my family and I complained to the to the front desk and the said that they will handle but did not do anything about it and we were not satisfied with that but overall the hotel was great and we might consider staying at the Ramada hotel.

The hotel was better than expected for the price. It was hard to find a good price in Boston, but this hotel fit the bill. The only real issue with it was the free shuttle was not usually on time and sometimes the wait from the T station to the hotel could take a while.

Mapquest shows this address to be in Dorchester, a city near Boston. The hotel description says it is only 3-4 miles away from Boston downtown, but it takes much longer to get there due to heavy traffic. The neighbourhood was shady. The bathroom had low height sanitary fittings appropriate for kids...! The hotel provides breakfast till 10AM and they do stick to the time. Even if your reached there before 10 and still eating, they start winding up the stuff while you are there. When we asked for a muffin, the lady went in the kitchen to get one and that too with her bare hands not even in the plate. Overall the people serving breakfast were not friendly. I was very optimistic about the hotel due to the RAMADA chain but was very disappointed.

This hotel is as expected for the price range. It is clean, beds are decent. The extras that you get for the money makes it great!!! Full breakfast w/ hot eggs every morning, coffee & tea always, free airport shuttle & shuttle to the T station, refrigerator,& washer & dryer available. Don't be afraid to be a little outside of downtown,with the shuttle & the T it's no problem.

Desk staff were great and very pleasant. Room was roomy enough. Floors were damp and dirty, as my white socks are now charcoal gray. Even with the air conditioner working, the room remained damp. The continental breakfast was fantastic! So, keep some things the same, and a few need some improvement.

The hotel was fine and the staff was nice. Our window looked out on a corridor...no natural life. The restaurants and bowling alley next door were great. Had to use shuttle to get from subway to hotel.

The continental Breakfast was very good.. the staff was very friendly and helpful, I did not like that the rooms felt very damp, I didnt like having my bare feet on the carpet, just seemed very clammy. It had been a rainy week so that may have been the problem also!
