The 60's are over...
i wouldn't call this place a dump, that would be unkind to all of the dumps of the world. There have been no apparent updates to this place - I will not bestow the compliment of "hotel" here - since it was built in the 50's or 60's. I expected to pass Richie Cunningham and Potsie Webber in the hallway muttering their dissatisfaction. Amenities: none. Style: none. Unexpected pleasant surprises: none. The staff was friendly and competent, but the facility itself is horrendous. Were it not for its proximity to Fenway Park it would have died a long-overdue, much deserved death decades ago. 
Twenty dollars a night additional to park is insulting, given the depressing pall that hangs over the place. One's first instinct is to flee, not pony up good money after bad in order to hang around. If you are an early-to-mid teenage baseball fan who has never left home before, you may find value in the $220.00 a night. The price structure is in line with the food and beer across the street at Fenway - ridiculously inflated, common as can be, and of little lasting impression. 
The Sox are just as bad as the HoJo this year. As such they have dropped the price of tickets this year to keep the cattle coming though the chutes. HoJo should consider bulldozing the place and erect a parking garage.
