It is in the historic neighborhood of Coolidge Corner and Brookline. Although it's not central to all the sightseeing locations or restaurants, it's in a peaceful neighborhood that's quiet and great to come back to after a long day. The best part about it was the free breakfast and coffee in the morning and the front porch that is spacious and a great place to rest after a long day. The staff is very friendly, attentive to concerns. There is free parking in the front as well!

An HMart is coming soon about a block away. All safe walking. Lively walkable neighborhood and only minutes by foot or T to the great American history of Boston.

Everything reasonable was really far outside of Boston, but then we stumbled across Anthony's Townhouse online. It is right in the heart of everything. You are extremely close to all the sights and restaurants. All of their rooms are extremely spacious with very big closets. Each one has its own unique decor. The whole place is extremely clean and housekeeping comes every morning. There is a fridge, microwave and bathroom on each floor. The owners are the most helpful people ever! They helped us find parking, get our T passes and even went through the map with us. There is a T stop right outside their house so you can take it everywhere downtown! I loved not having to take the truck anywhere. There are a few restaurants right across the street. There is also a whole foods. You cannot beat the price and location!! We will definitely be coming back to stay again.

It's easy to get to (right near Coolidge Corner), and easy to check in (even if you're after hours). They have breakfast for you every morning, and you can either eat in your room or eat at the big dining table downstairs. Downstairs is a great opportunity to chat with the other people that are staying at the BTI. I would recommend trying to get a room with your own bathroom to prevent the awkward walking through the halls in a towel moments with strangers. My favorite part about BTI was the freshly baked cookies and snacks they had every afternoon. It was like coming back to a home with all the great smells of food cooking and people happy to see you. The staff here was wonderful - so friendly, helpful and accommodating. They didn't mind that I hung out with my parents at the Inn and even ate some of their food. Another plus is the VHS library they have. They have tons of movies you can watch for free, and they have tons of guidebooks for those visiting and unfamiliar with Boston. Tell all your friends and family to stay at the Beech Tree Inn.

It was significantly cheaper than the Best Western by the medical school, and much, much nicer. What could be better? It is very nicely decorated and clean. The breakfast was an excellent continental breakfast that included home-baked sweets and plenty of healthy options. When returning in the evening, I often had tea and a freshly baked cookie or brownie. It's close to Coolidge Corner, which has plenty of places to eat out. It's near the T. The wifi was free and fast. I was delighted to stay at the Beech Tree Inn, and highly recommend it.

Location (5/5) quiet tree lined residential street only 5 minute walk from Stop and Shop. Lovely to get away from the hustle and bustle of Boston street traffic and yet have east access to everything. Checking In/Out: (4/5) good information through emails, no contact, instructions/key were in an individual envelope on the front door. Simple as long as you don't need to speak to anybody about any issues. I stayed on the 3rd floor. Stairs are narrow and have a rail on one side. Dropbox on the 2nd floor for checkout. If you need parking, request it at the time of booking as it is limited onsite. Continental breakfast: (3/5): available for two hours in the morning on the 2nd floor, including coffee, orange juice, little muffins, bagels, boiled eggs, yogurt, packaged oatmeal. The Captain's Room: (4/5) Spacious with 4 post queen bed, vintage wooden upholstered chair, large dresser with large mirror, two nightstands, overhead light with ceiling fan, closet with mini fridge, TV, free WiFi. It shares a bathroom down the hall with one other room. Bathroom is small but clean with good hot water pressure and a convenient sink-side table for your toiletries--free shampoo, conditioner, soap. Creaky wooden floors in room, carpet in hallway. Earplugs offered on nightstand in case you're a light sleeper. Cleaning service available daily though I only requested it for checkout. Thermostat in hallway, not in individual rooms. Fortunately it was a cool weekend, not too humid. Though I never saw any staff, the place is clean and hospitable and I would stay again, maybe next time in a room with an en-suite bathroom. Overall a pleasant stay and exactly what I expected!

I knew parking would be tough & expensive ($36 a night) must reserve in advance. We ended up parking on the street, the Inn provided a Pass so no issues other than covered in dust from construction going on. We were able to move to a designated spot in the alley the next day. Very tight so leave the big SUV, monster trucks at home. We had a medium size SUV, live in DC area and expect it. Check-in was fairly smooth. Our request for a bottom floor was honored (thankfully) as carrying suitcases up that staircase would have been difficult. So if any physical problems/difficulties with stairs or tight places you may want to look elsewhere. Our room was spacious, with two huge comfortable beds and an enormous TV mounted on wall. The room was clean and the temp was cool even with it being over a 100 outside our whole visit. The bathroom was adequate, with a single sink, not a big fan of the tub/shower as I felt like I was taking a shower in a sandwich bag, but water was hot & cold when needed. We slept well and did not hear much noise from outside or from within as we were in the back of the house. Breakfast was as describe - Grab & go, as there is not much space. Coffee/fruit/and muffins/croissants were out everyday. The Staff was super friendly & helpful, had several conversations with the housekeeper. She was awesome. The best part was location. We walked to Fenway (about 15 mins) also it is located right on the train line (2 min walk) which we used to get around. Boston is an expensive city and parking is limited so $$$ if thinking of driving everywhere. There are several restaurants within walking distance and a H-Mart which made the wife happy. Best price for location and in a Boston neighborhood so you get the full experience, just be prepared for an older building with older building issues. We would stay again if we return to Boston to see what we missed in this amazing city.

Plus, we had to wait over 20 minutes to check in because the front desk person was on break, despite the fact that they called and asked when we would be arriving. We showed up at the estimated time and no one was there. I was not pleased that the keys were required to be store in an unlocked cabinet by the desk. Anyone could've taken the keys to my car. Our room was on the 4th floor--quite a hike up very narrow stairs. Breakfast was disappointing to say the least--not much available and kind of a dirty presentation. Our tv had 10 working channels!

I'd recommend it to anyone who needs somewhere to stay in Boston whilst on business or visiting a friend. Highly praised in Time Out's guide to Boston, this Fenway brownstone house did not disappoint at all. The interior is lovingly kept in original 19 century decor and Florence has an amazing collection of dolls as well as a whole room for her shoes and hats. At 80 dollars a night it was a bargain for a truly special room that could well have been in a museum. The bathroom was hip with a great toilet, and it was conveniently close to several T stops. The real gem though was Ms Frances, who was truly charming and had quite amazing stories. She has flags for every guest to show their nationality, and of the 50 or so flags she owns she's been to pretty much every country - including Iran. An introduction to her hat collection is quite a treat too. What a life she has led! She even had a free guest pass for me for the Museum of Fine Arts.

For our company Hilton is the preferred vendor, we had the luxury of valet parking. It was a good thing, too, because street parking was very limited and hard to find in the area. Although the hotel was about 30 minutes away from the airport, it was conveniently located near where I needed to be. Upon arriving, I was impressed with the cleanliness and security of the hotel. Access to the elevators was granted through the use of digital keys, adding an extra layer of protection. My room was located on the ninth floor and was a corner room that had a Peloton bike. I was pleasantly surprised by this feature, as it allowed me to work out without having to leave my room. It was a great way to start my day without having to interact with other guests in the fitness area. The hotel also had a full fitness center, which was nice to have as an option. Apple Fitness was connected to Peloton, making it even easier to work out. I highly recommend taking advantage of this amenity, as it was a great way to stay active during my stay. The hotel also had a nice running and walking path around the property, providing plenty of opportunities to get outside and enjoy some sunshine and fresh air. The restaurant located in the lobby, called Punch Bowl, was also a pleasant surprise. Check out my review on that for more information. Lastly, I have to commend the staff for being so accommodating and sweet. My room was ready before I even arrived, and the digital key made it easy to access my room quickly. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Hilton Garden Inn and highly recommend it to anyone in the area.
