"Close to the JFK Presidential Library and Museum. The motel was basic, and the price was right. The room was clean and just big enough for 1 queen beds, a dresser, and a chair. The mattress was uncomfortable, and the water pressure in the shower was almost non-existent. The breakfast buffet was just adequate, though the freshly-made oatmeal was excellent. I was glad I only stayed one night.2019-10-18"

"Nice motel. The room was clean and inviting, and all the employees were friendly. More than enough choices at breakfast, and transportation was provided to and from the train station. Give this place a shot.2017-07-20"
"Good hotel. No pen or pad at the desk, though, and there was no TV channel guide. Ask for a room on the river side.2019-11-11"
"This hotel offers the best bang for the buck in the Boston area. WiFi and parking were free, and there was a great on-site restaurant and bar. The front desk clerk was the most cheerful and efficient I've ever encountered; she helped me program my cell phone and add the Uber app.2019-07-17"
"Good value. I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights. It was comfortable and clean, and just a 10-minute walk from the city train. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the food at the restaurant was great.2018-10-28"

"The mattress was awful; I could feel the springs. The hotel was being renovated, and despite quiet hours, I heard hammering that started at 6 AM and went on all day. I don't recommend this hotel.2020-02-17"
"Clean but small room with a refrigerator, microwave, and Keurig coffee maker. Comfortable bed and pillows. The wireless Internet service wasn't reliable. The toilet ran constantly and was loud. So was the bathroom fan, and it came on automatically with the light. Worst of all was the poor soundproofing; I could hear the people in the room next door, and woke to the smell of marijuana. The entire hotel staff was absolutely fantastic. Great workout room, and the TV had many channels to choose from. Good complimentary breakfast with hot and cold selections, and I enjoyed the fresh cookies every evening. The shuttle service was a big plus, and parking was free.2016-03-24"

"Clean, quiet room. Check-in and checkout were efficient. The restaurant workers were always pleasant, but the food was mediocre and overpriced. We appreciated the large, covered drop-off and pickup area in front. I recommend this hotel, though it is a bit pricey.2018-09-07"

"The hotel was convenient to the T, and within walking distance of BCEC. The room was lovely, quiet, and nicely furnished, and the staff was pleasant. It was a bit hard to find a breakfast spot nearby.2022-11-09"
"My hotel room was in the basement level, so it was a bit dark and disorienting to see people's calves and shoes walking past. However, the decor was lovely, and I loved having the galley kitchen and separate living area. Had to notify the front desk if I wanted housekeeping. The complimentary breakfast was a nice touch. The key code for the door was changed every day.2016-06-30"

"Convenient to Copley Square. The hotel was old and tired, and needed basic maintenance and fresh paint. The bathroom caulking had mold. The lobby had old-world charm, but was dimly lit. The carpet was quite worn in many places. The elevators smelled bad. Basic continental breakfast provided.2015-06-12"

HotelGuides made it easy to choose a hotel based on how far we wanted to get that day. Also liked being able to see the interstate interchange on the map to determine how far off the highway each hotel was.
We order the hotels on this page by how close they are to this attraction.
Most of our competitors order these same hotels in other ways that make them more money.
How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
