"The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the surrounding area. Perfect location if you are visiting HBS. Easily walk to campus."

"The hotel was very nice and quiet. It was in a great location (close to Downtown, The Garden, Fenway Park, the Children's Museum, The New England Aquarium and more!). The parking is a little tight but it is a great deal (especially if you want to hang out in Boston after check-out). The hotel restaurant was tasty and the room was comfortable. We asked for some extra attention to our room after our arrival and housekeeping was incredibly accommodating. Maria C. was so helpful and friendly! We will definitely consider staying here again!"

"I stayed at this hotel during my trip for the Boston Marathon, and overall, it proved to be a practical and comfortable choice for a race weekend. One of its strongest advantages is the location. Being situated close to a train line made getting around the city simple and efficient, an especially valuable feature when navigating Boston during a major event. Accessibility like this can make or break a stay, and here it definitely works in the hotel’s favor. The room itself was clean and well maintained upon arrival, which set a positive tone. Housekeeping operates on request rather than as a default service, which may catch some guests off guard. That said, it’s a minor adjustment as long as you’re aware and plan accordingly. I appreciated the in room amenities complimentary water, tea, and coffee are thoughtful touches that are becoming increasingly rare, particularly at this price point. Additional conveniences, such as access to hot and cold water in the basement and a small computer area for guest use, add a layer of practicality that frequent travelers will value. This isn’t a luxury stay, but it doesn’t try to be. Instead, it delivers where it counts: cleanliness, functionality, and a few well considered extras. For marathon runners or visitors looking for a straightforward, reliable base in Boston, this hotel is a solid option worth considering."

"Rooms are small but cozy and comfortable. Breakfast was really good, and they started it an hour early on Boston Marathon day. Staff was friendly, helpful, and kind. I hope to run Boston again, and I'll plan to stay at the Irving."
