Good convenient hotel
|
Good hotel, good location just of the highway. Quite and clean rooms. Friendly staff. Very close to Boston and the T. Convenient coffee shop in lobby for early risers.

Good Clean Hotel
|
We stayed at this hotel for three nights and thought our room was very clean, modern and loved the branded toiletries (including SPF moisturiser which I had forgotten). All eventualities were catered for. The Doubletree Cookies were the best I have ever tasted. The only downside to the hotel was the distance from downtown Boston - you need to get the subway for this. There were very little amenities around this area but a good supermarket.

Great suprise
|
This hotel chain is part of the Hilton family group and I was suprised at the service available at the hotel. The hotel is located appr. a 10 minute taxi ride (unless you're in one at rush hour!!!) from downtown Boston. The general service was excellent and very friendly. I felt well attended to and was made to feel that the staff was genuinely interested in me having a good stay. My room was spacious, very clean, and the bed was huge (though I did sleep in it alone, it could easily fit two people). There are pay per view movies (I had a glitch with one of the movies, called the front desk and two minutes later a technician knocked on my door to look at the problem. The problem was not resolved but when I called the front desk to make sure I wasn't invoiced for the movie, it was already taken care of...). The bathroom is spacious and spotless. The coffee machine took about 1 hour to make a !/4th cup of coffee but I could live with that since the reception facilites had a bakery. The two free internet computers by the lobby were a grea addition and i didn't have to wait for availability (though I might have been lucky). In general , the room was quiet and comfortable. Also, there is a supermarket 5 minutes from the hotel and the subway is right next to it. Safe area. Very little dining opportunities. Taxis are easy to get through the hotel,. The hotel shuttle is also a nice touch, espeically when getting to the airport (make sure to reserve a seat in good time). I would resommend others to stay here.

Nice stay at the Doubletree
|
We stayed at the Doubletree from Sept. 10th-11th. I have to admit everyone was absolutely right about the delicious chocolate chip cookies. They were very tasty and a wonderful welcoming treat! The reason we selected this hotel was the price ($118, plus parking-$9/day) and the location. We wanted to be near downtown Boston, but didn't want to pay the hefty price. The Doubletree was perfect because it is two blocks from the T (red/green line). We walked over in the morning, bought a day pass, and spent the rest of our day in the heart of Boston. We really didn't spend any other time at the hotel or in our room except to sleep. Overall, the hotel was nice and I can't complain about the warm cookies! P.S. If you want two GREAT restaurants in Boston, try Vida Dolce (Italian) and Stephanie's on Newbury (try the meatloaf)! Both are EXCELLENT!!!

Good, inexpensive South Boston area hotel
|
First directions: hotel is adjacent to Bayside Expo Center. Use directions on hotel website but when you enter the rotary look for the Expo Center exit off the rotary. We chose this hotel because it was near a T stop, much cheaper than downtown and a good base for travels south to Cape Cod and Nantucket. Parking is $9 per day. Rooms were clean with plenty of thick fluffy towels. Toiletries replaced daily. Unlike some inexpensive hotels, cable TV had many channels. USA Today delivered every morning. Lobby is very nice with tables and seating areas, two TVS and a bar. Free wi-fi in Lobby. Also hotel provides a room with 3 free internet-access computers, each with a printer. Great for getting last minute info before heading out for the day. There is an Au Bon Pain bakery in the Lobby open from 6am to 11pm. They sell fruit, pastries, soups, sandwiches and Chicago Uno Pizza. For joggers, Dorchester Bay and Columbus Park are directly across the parking lot in back of the hotel. JFK-UMASS stop on the redline is a 5 minute walk. There's a Shaw's/Osco near the T-stop. Hotel shuttle stops at Doubletree Downtown but subway is faster. We took subway and felt very safe in the area. Also Columbus Park area was safe for jogging. Downside: nothing in immediate area for an evening meal and if you drive to restaurants on Dorchester Ave., there's not much parking. Several restaurants do deliver to hotel. Great location for UMASS visitors and close to airport.

Great Hotel!
|
We spent three nights over Labor Day weekend at the Doubletree Club Hotel in Boston and would definitely return. The lobby is spacious, with many chairs and couches for relaxing, plus tables and chairs to use after purchasing a meal at the Au Bon Pain cafe just off the lobby. The personnel was very friendly and helpful, and the housekeeping staff kept the room spotless. Our room was quite large, with the very comfortable "Sweet Dreams" bedding - great nights' sleep. We also had a lovely view of the bay from the 5th floor. The train/bus station is only about a block away which made travel into the city easy. The hotel also offers complimentary shuttle service to the airport and to the downtown Doubletree location.

Great location - especially with the complimentary shuttle into the city. One drawback are the paper thin walls. Unfortunately we could hear our neighbor's TV.

Super handicapped friendly
|
Great experience. We had a handicapped-accessible room and it was great. The room was large, clean, and comfortable. The bed was good, and had a feather-bed top sheet gave a really nice sleep feel. The shower was strong and fitted with two heads- one lower and hand-held if a wheelchair were needed, and the toilet was raised. Grab-bars were everywhere in the bath. Staff was very helpful, cookie was warm and yummy, and the daily "USA Today" was appreciated. We were traveling with friends, and the tables downstairs (which were plentiful) were perfect for card games at the end of our busy tourist days. Access to the "T" is easy, and the hotel provides a free shuttle to downtown or the airport. Drawbacks ( which resulted in the "above average" rather than "excellent" rating): minimal food service, no shuttle to South Station, and the inability to conveniently buy a paper on the weekend. Howver, these complaints were minor, and we will stay there again on our next trip. We even had a mini-view of the ocean- okay, it was just a peek, but it was there!

Not bad at all!
|
I stayed here in August - at first i was put off by some of the early comments about this hotel but has tempted by the price. When we arrived at the airport we phoned for the courtesy shuttle and were told it would be with us in 30mins - 30mins later it arrived! There is an au bon pain for breakfast in the morning which is great but it would have been nice to have somewhere to have dinner in the evening - they just do soups and salads. The hotel is a 5 minute walk to the nearest T stop which is JFK/UMass on the Red line. There is also a courtesy shuttle which just takes you to the downtown doubletree - we found the T was better as it took us where we wanted - maybe if the hotel had a few more stops eg Prudential centre etc it would have been better, All in all nice clean comfortable rooms, nice to be picked up from the airport and the cookie is great :-) Would definitly stay again

Excellent!
|
The warm cookie was a pleasant surprise and oh so good! Rooms were bright and cheery, very clean and a nice size. Towels were nice and the pillows - oh my goodness! - you put your head in them and they keep on sinking. They were so soft! (Second best to the Renaissance Downtown Atlanta). So was the toilet tissue. Nice variety of toiletries in the bathroom. TV had a nice variety of stations, my 14 yr old son was most impressed. Free internet in the lobby but one computer was down the whole time we were there. Onsite cafeteria was great and the staff there was top shelf. Nice variety of food and snacks. Close walk to the train station and the Amtrak was two stops away. Downtown was a few stops later. I felt safe walking by myself in the area and there is a police station next door. Found the people including guests to be very friendly here. I had such a nice time at this hotel!

Just OK
|
I got a free night at this property with my Hilton Honors rewards. We needed a place to stay convenient to Logan Airport for an early morning flight. They offer a complimentary shuttle service and you can park your car there for $9 per day. This is without a doubt the best deal if you need to drive to the airport. There is also a "stay and fly" deal, but you need to ask for it. The check in and the cookies were great. The room was decorated in dark blue carpeting and bedspreads, and it made the room look less than inviting. The bathroom was ok. SInce we arrived around 10pm and we were only sleeping there, it was fine. But i would not recommend it as a place to stay for anyone visiting Boston.

Good Value
|
I was looking for a base for 2 nights whilst touring Boston. This hotel was very good value for money. However, the location is quite a good distance from downtown Boston which wasnt really made obvious at the time of booking. Also, it is in an area with no restaurants or shops and with the hotel only having a small deli style catering facility put you out on a bit of a limb. However, you get what you pay for. The room were large, air conditioned and very clean. The staff were very helpful and the small bar well stocked. The local metro is only a 2 minute walk and can take you straight into the city for about $2.00 each. This would be a great base if you had a hire care.

Wonderful experience
|
My husband, son (17) and I stayed for three nights and felt at home from the moment the clerk gave us our warm cookies. The room was very clean (and some would call me fastidious), the walls insulated any neighbor-noise, the air worked beautifully, and maybe best of all the room had not been smoked in. We had plump pillows and comfy beds. The lobby was very nice and was usually a bustling, though not overly busy, place. Wi-Fi is free in the lobby. The cafeteria style Au Bon Pain was so handy for a quick breakfast - pastries were great and fruit was fresh.. I was a little intimidated at first by the empty parking lot (belonging to the Expo Center) behind the hotel parking lot but saw nothing shady going on there throughout our stay. There wasn't much in the very immediate area for dinner so we drove to The Stadium, a very nice pub, with typed directions provided by the desk clerk. The walk to the JFK/UMASS T was super easy. The woman there gave us spirited directions about using the system as we'd never navigated it before. We took the complimentary hotel shuttle to the Downtown Doubletree a few times and had great drivers - Ahmed and Nicole. From the Downtown Doubletree we set out for the nearby attractions on our own, with directions and tips from the friendly Downtown Doubletree concierge. I'd definitely stay here again!

Great Hotel! Great Service!
|
Having stayed at this hotel in late March and experienced problems with the shuttle service, I was extremely pleased with my second stay on June 11, 2006. We called for the shuttle from the airport, the hotel checked on the driver's location, they promised he would collect us in 3 minutes, and by the time we crossed the street to the pick up location he was there. Terrific. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The room was clean and fresh and the staff were wonderful. I would highly recommend this hotel, especially if you need a place to stay overnight before a flight!

Very pleased!
|
I recently stayed at this hotel and was nicely surprised. The staff are very friendly and helpful and often went to lengths to correct problems. The shuttle run is about 5 mins or so, not the 20+ mentioned in a different review. They do, however, make special runs if someone requests which could extend the trip to their downtown Double Tree by several minutes. This was not a problem for me. Ordinarily though, it's only a few minutes. The shuttle leaves on the hour from Bayside and leaves Downtown on the half hour. The cost of the Bayside is much cheaper and it's easy to take the shuttle there. The shuttle seats 11 passengers and can be tricky to get into, however. If you have any physical disabilities, I would call ahead of time and ask if they can meet your needs. You can't beat a free ride! The room was cozy and had a little more walking room in front of the beds than I am used to. Surprsingly, there were two phones provided. The bathroom was clean, included a coffee pot, a couple of mugs, and was not tied down like I have seen at other hotels. Iron and ironing board were stashed in the closet, and a wall hairdryer was also provided. The bathroom had a nice display of neutrogena products which I thought was nicer than a cheap bar of soap and mouthwash. (see picture) An on-site Au Bon Pan was nice and carried a surprising array of items for it's size. Parking was $9/day but I got free parking as the machine to pay at was broken. They claim they are not responsible for any break ins, but the lot was well lit and I doubt anyone would walk back there as it isn't immediately next to any residential areas. For those having trouble finding it, it actually shares the same entranceway as the Bayside expo center. Thankfully, the Double Tree had small signs posted on road signs while 93 was closed. Without those signs, I might still be driving around lost. Best of all though, were the warm cookies upon arrival. Woohoo!! Now, on to the reasons that this was not an "Excellent" review: No pool, although you can see the concierge to get a pass to the nearby UMASS facilities. No giftshop, instead, just a VERY small selection of candy and emergency items on the wall at the main counter (I tend to wonder why feminine products were not sold, but AAA batteries were). Hotel was not exactly "beachfront" property, but wasn't too far from it. Don't expect sand to blow in your face when you walk outside. It looks like it would be at LEAST a 10 minute walk. The movie on demand was giving us trouble and when it was reported, they said the item would be taken off of the bill. I also had difficulty calling out, both probably due to the horrendous weather. I had to talk to the front desk again at checkout, but both charges were cleared. Finally, I booked the room for 4 people and there were only two mugs supplied and towels for three. It turned out fine as one was missing from our party. Overall, would I stay there again? You bet! I was definately more impressed than not, as were the others I stayed with.

Not bad.....

I only stayed in this hotel for one night so I don't have too much to say about it. They did allow me to check in super late (almost midnight) and then I checked out about 7am. I had gotten a ride from the World Trade Center from some local friends to the hotel and we ended up getting lost. It's not an easy area to navigate around at nighttime. It took us over a half hour to drive about 4 miles! I chose to take a cab the next morning back to the WTC and it cost around $13. My first complaint was that the phone in my room didn't work. I had to go back down to the lobby to make my call which was inconvenient and no privacy. My second complaint was that both lightbulbs in the bathroom blew out at the same time while I was trying to get ready in the morning (not their fault, tho since you can't predict those things). The room was very clean and the bed was comfy and like I said, I wasn't there long so I can't report on any other things.

Clean & Convenient
|
Because the Boston Marathon was taking place when we were there we couldn't afford to stay downtown. We thought our trip was ruined but it wasn't. The hotel shuttle picked us up at the airport within 10 minutes of our call. The staff was incredibly friendly. The hotel was clean inside and out. The hotel is less than a block from the subway (which was easy to use) plus there is a hotel shuttle that goes into town every hour. My only complaint was that there was nowhere to eat at the hotel at night. After walking all day we were starving and ended up having to order Chinese that took an hour. There was no where to eat within walking distance of the hotel and the food area at the hotel closes early. Actually there is not much close to the hotel besides the convention center which probably adds to how safe the area felt

Nice Hotel---more info on location
|
My employer has people stay at this hotel a lot and there have been no complaints, but rather good reports about what a nice hotel it is, how it's fine, etc. The one thing I would underscore, as a Bostonian, is that it isn't in a bad neighborhood, but it's not a good place to go wandering around late at night. My advice would be to avoid returning by subway from the city late at night; pay for a cab. During the day, it's okay. In fact, it's the hotel closest to beautiful Castle Island in South Boston. Ask the hotel clerk for directions. It's a glorious beach-walk, known mostly to locals. There's a big old Civil War fort, breathtaking (and sometimes ear-breaking) views of Logan Airport (the planes pass very low)... even when people move out of the city, they come back to walk at Castle Island...

Immaculate with Great Access to Bayside Expo Center
|
Stayed here two nights ($125 a nite rate) with my husband for a tradeshow at the Bayside Expo Ctr last weekend (Apr 7-9). The area is heavily seeded with businesses, so it's VERY quiet at night. You need to drive or cab it to restaurants or other businesses. Check in was a breeze (abt 4pm Friday). The hotel is literally across the parking lot from the Expo Ctr ($9 per day parking with in and out privaleges is added to the hotel bill). The king room (#536, facing front of building, about 4 rooms from elevator) was a little on the spartan side - a wooden chair with arms (not an easy chair) in the corner, a desk and office chair with arms, a dresser (3 drawer) and two night tables. The drapes seemed clean and kept the room nice and dark in the early morning. The king size bed was softer than I like, but okay, and smelled fresh and clean with 5 plump pillows and soft sheets. The carpet, all fixtures and especially the bathroom (MOST important to me) were immaculate. The room was equipped with an iron and board, hairdryer, coffee maker and clock/radio. My husband was a little annoyed with the clock/radio the first morning because it only has five presets to choose for wake up. I was just happy that he got it set to wake us up on time - I didn't care about the music! The TV was big, though not many stations available. We only watched about an hour each evening anyway. The room seemed to get warm with all the lights on, so we turned on the hvac unit - it was on the noisy side, but the temp control was adjustable and responsive. The air in the room was on the dry side, which made it a little uncomfortable for me to sleep, but my husband didn't seem to mind. Overall, the room seemed quiet and well insulated - we didn't hear anything from any neighbors except for water running in their bathroom. The doors close very quietly, so we did not hear anyone come in or go out. We heard nothing from our "upstairs" neighbors either (there was only one more floor above us). The AuBon Pain runs a store just off the lobby, and they sell hot breakfasts (scrambled eggs, omelettes, egg sandwiches, etc) as well as muffins, pastry and bagels. Both days we had eggs, hashbrowns and meat with choice of toast for $7.50US, and coffee. The staff was a little overwhelmed and confused Sat. (maybe new employees?), but with reminders and prompting from customers and their manager, they got thru it. Sunday's crew was better. VERY busy around 9am both days. There are tables and chairs all over the lobby area where you can sit and eat, if you're not running off with ToGo containers to your room, the Expo Center or somewhere else. They are open until 10pm for evening coffee to go with your warm, Doubletree oatmeal choc chip cookies. We found the hotel staff pleasant and helpful and willing to please. The cleaning staff also acknowledged us and said a cheerful "good morning." One caveat, though. The staff use the only two elevators in the building to move linens and cleaning carts from floor to floor. My husband had to wait for a held elevator, then struggle with luggage and linens when we were packing up to go on Sunday! On Saturday evening we and a group of 4 other people were looking for a nice place for dinner and a desk clerk got us a reservation at Tulio's in Quincy, about 4-5 miles away ($15 by cab). Lovely, small restaurant if you like wood/brick oven italian! When we got back, the clerk who sent us there asked if we enjoyed it. Nice follow-up! Also, the lobby had a kiosk you could search for restaurants. All in all, no, this is not the Four Seasons, nor is it as abismal as some reviewers imply. It's safe, comfortable and functional enough to allow trade show exhibitors like us the chance to relax and regroup in a very hassle-free way. Would not hesitate to stay there again - I'll take extreme clean like this over extreme luxury any day. Chances are good we'll go back to the same trade show (and the Doubletree) next year.

great value!
|
After reading the negative comments about this hotel, I just HAD to add my two-cents worth. I have stayed here on three occassions, and each time my experience has been great. The rooms are clean, and I have never had a problem with noise from adjacent rooms. On one visit, my room was not ready upon check-in, and the management not only put us in another room, but reduced the rate. The subway system is one block away, saving countless hours of sitting in Boston traffic. If you want a 4-star hotel, you have to pay for one. For less than a hundred bucks in Boston, this is one value that can't be beat.

It's not in a central location, but the "T" subway is one block away. The conference center is close by, across a parking lot. There's a view of the bay (not bad). Wonderful service, great amenities. We would stay here anytime! Price (special offer) was very good. Staff are exceptionally helpful. Rooms well above average.

Great Stay! Would visit again!
|
I just came back from a wonderful stay at this hotel. My room was very, very clean, all of the hotel staff were friendly and helpful, and the room I stayed in was spacious with pleasant decor. I am still recovering from a foot surgery and am in a walking boot so I was looking for a hotel that was located very close to the local subway system. I read the reviews for this hotel and some said the subway was right across the street from the hotel and others said it was a 2 - 5 minute walk from the hotel. In the end I booked this hotel and hoped the subway was "right across the street". I can now tell you that the hotel is not "right across the street" from the subway. The subway is a short 5 minute walk away from the hotel if you have two working feet. Unfortunately I did not have two working feet and found a much more convienient way to get around. The hotel has a free shuttle to & from their Downtown hotel and the Downtown hotel happens to literally be right next to a subway stop on the orange line. I was able to take the shuttle downtown and from there I was able to get to any place else in the city quite easily. The hotel shuttle ran on the hour from the Bayside Doubletree and returned from the Downtown Doubletree on the half hour with the last Downtown departure at 9:30 pm. Since my foot was giving me problems this turned out to be a great way to get around. The shuttle drivers were very helpful and pleasant and the shuttles arrived and left promptly. On two occasions we opted to stay out later and decided to take a taxi to the hotel from Downtown Boston. We speant $12 for one taxi and $14 for the other one with tip included - we thought this was pretty reasonable. The Bayside Hotel bar was a bit pricey with a glass of red wine at $7 a glass but it was nice to get back to the hotel and have the option of a nightcap before retiring for the night. All in all our stay at this hotel was very enjoyable and we would definitely stay there again!

Very nice and friendly.
|
Stayed here for 4 nights on a long weekend leisure trip to Boston. We were very pleased with the room we got for the price. It was clean, comfortable modern and bright and had every amenity we required. The free shuttle bus to and from the airport was very good and the driver was friendly and funny and really made us feel very welcome upon our arrival in the city. Sure the hotel is situatued someway out of the downtown area but it is RIGHT next to the subway station which was very convenient. We never had any trouble getting around to anywhere we needed to go. The only little down side was that we had no breakfast included..but for the price this really is a very minor issue. We ate at the hotel's Au Bon Pain once or twice but most of the time we ate in the city anyway. I will certainly book here again next time we visit Boston and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for modest but clean and hassle free accomodation.

Absolutely pleased!!!
|
The room was inexpensive, very clean, quiet, convenient to the subway, and loved the cookies. We were intending to stay with family when we came to Boston, but upon arrival found that they have a cat, to which I have an allergy. Got this hotel at the very last minute, but they were very friendly and accomodating, and well priced at only $99/night. It is only a five minute walk to the T which is most convenient mode of travel in Boston, and the neighborhood was very quiet. The rooms were decently sized and we didn't hear a peep out of the neighboring rooms. I highly recommend as an efficient, budget friendly place to stay.

Better than anticipated
|
We had a delightful stay at the Doubletree. After a day of cancelled flights and many hours of travel, it was wonderful to be promptly picked up at the airport. After we arrived the staff was swift in getting us checked in and they were consistently helpful. I fould our suite to be very spacious, clean & comfortable. One of the best advantages to staying here is the access to the subway. Another option is to take their shuttle, offered hourly, to the downtown Doubletree. The cafe/bakery has a nice selection of healthy food to get your day started. The in room coffee isn't too bad. I would highly recommend staying at the Doubletree Club Boston Bayside.

Good value
|
I, too, was concerned after reading some of the reviews. but we had no bad experience. After arriving at the airport at 6:15 a.m., I called the hotel to request a shuttle van. It arrived within fifteen minutes. We anticipated having to leave our luggage behind the desk till check in time, but they had a room available for us. Nice surprise. What struck me was the bedding. Each bed had four pillows and a comforter/blanket. Very comfortable. Other than that, the room was not remarkable, but decent. The location was out of the way, but we know that coming in. The T was easy to navigate. The hotel shuttle even took us directly to South Station to catch our Amtrak train when we left. No complaints. I'd stay here again.

Perfect for travellers on a tight budget
|
This hotel is the best value in Boston as you can book the internet rate of $87/ night. It is located near the T and the free airport shuttle also saves a lot of money. The rooms were very clean and the beds were really comfortable (with down comforters.) We didn't have any problems with the "thin walls" that others have mentioned. A continental breakfast would have been nice but hey for this price you can't complain. The area around the hotel is not the greatest but we (3 girls) always felt safe during the day. Coming home late at night off the T though was kinda scary so I'd take a taxi. It's about a 20 minute ride on the T to the heart of Boston. All in all, you get what you pay for and in the case of this hotel you get more than you pay for. I'd stay here again.

The ultimate review
|
Location: The location of the hotel was pretty good! The hotel is outside of the city, but the JFK-UMass Red Line T stop is a 2 minute walk. If you want something in the theatre district or shopping district of Boston, this hotel is not for you, but if you don't mind a small commute, go for it! Other than that, there is not much around the hotel at all! There is however a Shaw's Supermarket and pharmacy right by the T stop and a small shopping center. The hotel is next the the Bayside Expo Center and some corporate centers. Airport Shuttle: The hotel offers a free airport shuttle to and from Logan. On the way in, we had just missed the shuttle and were told we would wait 25 minutes. Instead, we took the silver line T to South Station, transfered to the Red Line T and walked. Not bad at all. Check-In: Check in was AMAZING! We were upgraded to a 2 double bedded room as requested. The staff was very nice and accomadating, especially because we were checked into our room even when I did not have the credit card that the room was held under (my sister had it and presented it once she came from a different flight) Lobby: The lobby was smaller, but plenty of seating and lots of light. There is a SMALL bar on one end that serves typical drinks. They have a flat panel TV to watch. Rooms: We were on the 4th floor. Our room was worn, outdated, but clean. The room itself was a normal size and there was a chair plus a desk. We had a full closet with a door and a little cubby to stick the luggage in. TV selection was poor, only about 12 channels or so plus overpriced movies on demand. Bathrooms: Typical size but also outdated and worn. Everything was clean and we were given plenty of towels and amenities. The tub was slow to drain and had a small chip. Breakfast/Food: The hotel has an Au Bon Pain bakery and cafe that serves breakfast items, soup, salad, sandwiches, coffee beverages, pizza, and many other things. We ate here everyday for breakfast because we had free breakfast certificates from being a Hilton Honors member. I would not eat here for lunch or dinner because there are so many other choices a short T ride away. Pool/Gym: The hotel has a small fitness room, which I did not use, but it looked fine. If you want a pool and a large health club, you can use the U Mass facilities free of chrage. Business Center: There is a single computer from which you can get free internet access in the loby. Copying and faxing are 10 cents a page. If you want wireless internet for your laptop or PDA like I did, it is 10 bucks for 24 hours...not to pleased about that. Overall: I'd stay here again. The location was great because of the T being so close. Everything was was okay. There are signs in the lobby that say they are in the process of renovating, which they need very badly (especially in the guest rooms) I did not like how they charge for every little thing (internet, phone calls, etc.) when they are not even a full service property. If you can get a good rate, this place is a definite option.

A pleasant experience
|
Just stayed at the doubletree club. after reading some of these reviews, I was a little wary. But at 139 a night (priceline) I found it to be a fantastic bargain. Admittedly, there's not much around. But the T station is a 5-minute walk and just four stops from Park Street station, the heart of Boston. The hotel was clean, the staff was courteous. I'd stay here again, especially at that price, roughly half what you'd pay in Copley Square or downtown. Sure, it would be great to walk out the door and have a variety fo dining and entertainment choice. But if you're looking for a convenient launching-point to explore Boston, you could do a lot worse than this place. I was there on a graduation weekend, with nearly everything in town booked, and still found this place on a wednesday for a Friday-Saturday stay.

Unfortunately from the moment we walked into the Inn we were assaulted with an odor that smelled like vomit. It was truly disgusting having to stand in line and smell this odor in the lobby. After several minutes I think I realized the smell was probably coming from the pizzeria and they were using some type of cheese that surely didn't make your mouth water. While standing there I noticed the furniture which looks drab and dirty and I would never have sat upon it to wait for my luggage to come in. When I checked to see what time the van began to bring us to the airport I was told 6 a.m.!!! I was shocked as my flight was at 7 and in no way was this going to work out. The whole reason for staying at a parksleepfly is to be able to get out early in the a.m.! After some discussion the clerk said I could go in with the crew that was staying there. Now, this might thrill someone who has never worked for an airline, but I know better since I did. I know the crew doesn't appreciate travelers on their van, however, I had no choice so I agreed it would be fine. I was told the van left at 4:45 so I made it to the lobby by 4:40....no van, it had left without us. Lucky for us the van driver forgot his cell phone and made a swing back to the hotel. The clerk asked him if we could get in and he claimed he didn't have the room. After several minutes of this nonsense he opened the door for us and low and behold their were 2 empty seats!!!! Our ride home was o.k., however, each person we picked up (2 more) were furious because they had been waiting for over an hour for this van. It made our ride back to the hotel less than peaceful since they were bitching up a storm about it. If you are going to offer this service I would think you should have a van that leaves very early and at least have a clean lobby. Our room was fine and the cookie delicious but it doesn't make up for the hassle of the whole experience.

What's everyone's problem?
|
Ok, it's not the Ritz, I'll give you that. The rooms are perfectly adequate as well - I agree that they aren't massive, but the walls are anything but paper thin - there was a family that had a crying baby in the adjacent room - couldn't hear a thing except for when you went into the corridor. The free cookies on arrival - always a plus - and our rooms were immaculate and there was a great bath and shower in comparison to similarily priced hotels in New England. The hotel really is only 6 minutes max away from JFK UMass T station - it's then only 10-15 minutes into downtown and as the red line is the most frequent, you're unlikely to have to wait a long time. We didn't try the hotel shuttles because, at once an hour, they didn't really compare to the T - and what's $1.25 in comparison with a free minibus? Only downside, in my opinion, is the lack of restaurant, though the Au Bon Pain in the hotel offers pizza and hot sandwiches as well as breakfasts. And the hotel is in the middle of nowhere if you're looking for a restaurant - the nearest place is Dorchester, which only after we'd visited, were told was the dodgiest neighbourhood in town, with weekly shootings and the like. So, don't head there! The area around the hotel itself is very safe though - well lit and quite busy. And, on finding the hotel, follow the signs for Bayside Expo Center - otherwise you'll sail past it! Overall, great. And we only paid $89.10 a night including breakfast - a COMPLETE bargain compared to the at least $200 charged by hotels in town.

Not bad, not great.
|
I stayed here for two nights, February 21-23, 2005. The price was right and it is convenient to the T. The room was clean and the hotel was very quiet. There was not any noise outside of the hotel. As other reviewers have stated, this hotel is not really near anything in Boston, so if you want to grab a quick bite to eat then you have to take T into the city. There is a hotel shuttle to the airport and to the theatre district, but the times are not always convenient. I had to depart early (5am) and the desk clerk was not able to check me out if I wanted to pay in cash, so I had to leave my bill on a credit card. I would stay here again if there was not another hotel in Boston at a reasonable price.

This was a Doubletree?
|
I won't repeat the comments made by the previous reviewers about the location (yes, unless you have business at UMass, it's in the middle of nowhere), the lack of amenities, the tiny and cheesy hotel bar, and the paper-thin walls (god forbid anyone speak or play the TV in the next room). All those comments are sadly true. The hotel is clean; I'll give it that. But it looks and feels like a Days' Inn that got rebranded as a Doubletree somewhere down the line. The biggest drawback to the location is not the distance to the city center. As other reviewers have noted, it's a matter of a few minutes' walk from the hotel to a subway station, and the subway is the best way for tourists to get around anyway. The much larger issue is the auto "sideshow" that goes on in the huge parking lot behind the hotel on weekend nights. My wife and I stayed at this Doubletree, and gave up on sleeping at about 2 am as a result of that. For those who don't know, a "sideshow" is a raucous conclave of hoodlums (several hundred, from what I could see) who blast rap and spin their cars in circles. The noise from that was bad enough. But they were using the hotel parking lot as a staging area, revving their engines and cranking their stereos. The night manager was too afraid to do anything about it, losing his nerve for asking those clowns to leave the parking lot after I dragged him out there and started walking him around vehicle by vehicle to throw the trespassers out. The hotel was also overrun in the rooms and hallways by loud participants in this event. After the night manager gave up on trying to control his hotel, I gave up on the hotel, and we switched to a different one in the middle of the night. Not only will I never stay at this hotel again, I'll never stay at a Doubletree; it's poisoned the brand for me.

Nice hotel with free parking
|
Nice hotel, not too expensive (we used the "Sunday Night is Free" package), free parking, warm cookies on check-in, and a 5-minute walk to the JFK/UMASS subway stop. Great Au Bon Pain bakery cafe in the hotel open most hours (f you want to continue eatlng those great cookies). Friendly staff and quick to fix sink in bathroom. If the downtown hotels are too expensive, try this one.

Very Clean & Great Staff
|
We have just returend from a week long trip to the east coast and found the Doubletree Club in Boston to be the best value of the 5 hotels we stayed at during the trip (incluing a much pricier, European hotel in NYC). The location is a little bit remote, but it is a 3 minute walk to the subway and about 10 min taxi ride to DT. The rooms were immaculate and the carpets were actually damp from being freshly shampood. Probably, the cleanest hotel I've stayed in. We also found the staff to be more than helpful and accomodating and Au Bon Pan is great for a quick bite. Also, we heard nothing in our rooms. It was very quiet, which was very much appreciated. Although it's not a Hilton or a Four Seasons, it's a very decent place to stay and the rates were about 2/3 of what I expeted to pay. Without a doubt, this is the place we will stay on our next visit to Boston.

Good stay
|
The DoubletreeClub Boston Bayside is a great tourist thotel, with clean, spacious rooms and comfortable beds, just what you need after a long day sightseeing! The staff are friendly and helpful and the Au Bon Pain cafe does delicious soup, sandwiches and snacks from 6am to 11pm. The T subway is a short walk away and four stops will take you to the centre of Boston. Have a good time and don't be put off by some of the previous negative comments!

I agree with most of the posts for this hotel
|
I agree with most of the prior posts on this hotel, except that we didn't find the walls paper thin -- we had no problem with hearing others. A few points: Yes, there is no pool, but the hotel has an arrangement with the University of Mass. -- 1/4 mile away to use their fitness center. Our kids loved the high dive. The center has all the ususal stuff plus racquetball courts, but they won't let kids under 18 in (except for the pool). The hotel *is* in the middle of no where -- you will need to rely on the van or the shittle to get to meals. The traffic on 93 (the main drag into downtown) was bad at all times of the day Au Bon Pain had a nice variety of stuff for breakfast and had nice omletts on the weekend -- and it wasn't too pricey given that its Boston. This place isn't a Marriott or anything close -- the doubletree website has very good pictures of the pretty basic room.

We found the hotel to be clean and quiet. The proximity to the Red Line made travel around Boston quite convenient. The hotel shuttle to and from the airport was prompt.

Unpleasant surprise for a Doubletree
|
The hotel in the middle of nowhere. If you should happen to get there you will find no amenities. No pool, No restaurant. Only an Au-Bon-Pain take out or in. If you want to watch a 5th run feature on their movie channel it's a whopping $13.00 The subway is close by and you must change trains to get to the downtown nightlife. The rooms however were spotless.

Worst Hotel Stay Ever!
|
This has to be the worst hotel to sleep in that I've ever been in. We were woken up at 1:00am by a hotel guest that had just entered the room adjacent to us. The walls are paper-thin and her conversation on her cell phone could be heard as clear as if she was in our room. After calling the front desk and hearing them call the room and speak with her twice, nothing got resolved -- we even heard her order a pizza from Domino's! The hotel said they were fully booked and we couldn't move to another room and they told us there was nothing else they could do. This is the noisiest hotel we've ever stayed in. We were then woken up at 5:30am as this guest was leaving by her slamming the door on purpose. We were told afterwards that this is a commuter hotel for Logan Airport -- definitely not a place to spend a weekend at.

Simply the best!
|
We thought this was very good value: reasonably priced, clean and spacious rooms and great staff. The shuttle to and from the airport was a bonus and saved us a lot of hassle. Breakfast was available in the cafe for a small additional cost. The T metro is a short walk away and you reach Downtown Boston in no time. The main reason for recommending this hotel though is the friendly and helpful staff, who could not do enough for us.

Disappointed in this so-called Doubletree
|
We thought we were getting a value on this $82 a night Doubletree hotel. Now I know why--the hotel had no emminities worth mentioning. No pool, no restaurant, not even a continental breakfast at this hotel which has NO restaurants near it. Check the fine print before booking this hotel--the website is deceiving. The free shuttle that takes you to downtown only takes you to the doubletree near the theatre district. If you are going to Fanieul Hall or the freedom trail, it is a fairly long walk, plus, it only runs every odd hour and shuts down at 9:00pm. The secret, I guess, is the word "Club" in the name. This is not the Doubletree "Hotel" that you're used to hearing about with the decent service and emmenities; rather, this is a small step up from a Day's Inn...oh wait a minute, Days Inn has a continental breakfast and coffee in the lobby! Also, if you decide you still want to stay there, be careful if you're making a direct dial long distance phone call from your room. They don't post the rates on the phone and they charged me $5.95 for what ended up being an operator assist connection. This hotel did not reach the usual Doubletree standards. They will need to offer more than free cookies to get me to stay there again.

We stayed here for two nights, one before and one after our visit to Maine. The staff went out of their way to get us from and to the Airport on time. In addition we needed to go to South Station to connect with our transportation to Maine. This was not a normal destination for them. The van driver tracked down the manager and got it okayed. On the way he pointed out the subway stop at South Station and told us it would actually be much faster to take it back to the stop near the hotel. He was right it was painless and took only about 10 minutes. We took the subway later on to downtown and that was a snap as well. Rooms were fine and with the subway we had access to great bars and restaurants.

Clean and Priced Right
|
We checked in here on May 26, 2003 The room was very clean and well maintained. No need to look for broken floor tiles in the bathroom or ripped wallpaper, you won't find it. During the evening a painting crew was redoing the hallway ceiling on our 4th floor. The ceiling looked fine before the painting. This hotel seems to take pride in its looks. Here's a biggie... free parking. Other hotels in Boston can charge over $30 per day to park and if you have two cars.... A few things didn't work. The bathtub took about 10 minutes to drain. The coffee maker in the bathroom kepts breaking the gfi electrical plug. The front desk gave us 2 certificates for free coffee at the little bistro that was in the hotel lobby. Our kid's Nintendo playing on the tv never got off the ground dispite 3 visits by a friendly worker who tried hard to fix it. The public transportation is about 3 blocks away and buying a days visitor pass for $6 on the internet was a great way to get around. Would we do it again? Absolutely ! Although not perfect, it is definately worth the $89 we spent to have a good clean room with friendly staff.

A little out of the way, but a bargain
|
The hotel is a little far from all the tourist sites, in an area that is fine during the day but dark and deserted at night. The subway runs frequently and late into the night, but it's about a 15-20 minute ride into downtown. Compared to what other downtown hotels charge for comparable rooms, the Doubletree Club Boston is a real bargain.

Enjoyable Stay
|
This hotel is about 3 miles from Boston city center and just next to the tube train running into Boston. The hotel was a delight to stay in, the staff were friendly and helpful and the rooms immaculate. A hotel shuttle drove us free of charge to and from the airport and into the city. Highly recommended.
