“Customer Service above some of the finest 5-stars”

Reviewed 15 June 2013 NEW

This busy little hotel, located near Boston University was a pleasant surprise on our recent trip. We waited too long to select accommodations not realizing that this was graduation weekend in a city filled with students. Despite the fact that the hotel (and every other for miles) was full, the staff acted like we were "special." The desk attendant at... More

We went to Boston on a Sat. for a Sunday Red Sox game so that we had a little time to enjoy the city and this hotel made that extremely easy! The Green Line Subway is maybe a block from the hotel with a 7-11 store next to the stop to purchase the fare (go with a plastic "Charlie Card"... More

“Decent spot”

Reviewed 6 June 2013 via mobile

It was a little too far from downtown for my liking. Rooms were clean enough, and nice big size. I liked the motel vibe so I could park right outside my door. T Train is about a block away. And free breakfast and wifi!!!

Dear jenrowsell, Firstly, thank you for taking the time to write a nice review of the Best Western University Hotel! We are pleased that you liked the "vibe" of the hotel and enjoyed the complimentary breakfast and wifi! Likewise, we are sorry that you found the hotel too far from the city center.

“Great Base for Touring”

Just what was needed - a comfy bed, clean bathroom, hot water, good air temp control, clean, convenient. Lots of things to do nearby and easy access to public transport and the T. It's a terrace-style hotel, which suited me fine. A nice area and no concerns about safety.

“Nice rooms, Trees out the windows, plenty of parking”

Reviewed 31 May 2013

We went down for law school graduation in Boston on 5/29/13 and 5/30/13. Other Boston and Cambridge hotels required 3-day stays with advance payments, no cancellation refunds, and exhorbitant high rates for those graduation days. Our Best Western rooms were reasonably priced, nice, clean, spacious, had refrigerators and microwaves, and views of trees out our windows (rooms in the 100s).... More

Spent a couple days around Memorial Day weekend in Boston. I went to see the city, not spend time in a hotel.

“More a Motel”

Reviewed 22 May 2013

This hotel is more a Motel. That was a big surprise in the middle of a city. However, the parking lot cannot accommodate all the possible cars, so check in early if you want to secure parking space. The rooms are acceptable and clean and the bathroom working well. The curtains are too lights which means that sun will lighten... More
