Fine budget hotel, eat early
Wanted lower cost hotel near Boston that offered free parking and hopefully free breakfast for our family. Got this hotel from HotWire and was quite nervous (2.5 stars!!). However, it turned out fine. The hotel IS buget so if you look closely you will see some age and less than stellar decor. BUT, the beds were very comfortable and the sheets/pillows were clean. The staff was friendly and helpful and the shuttle service to the T was great!! If we had to drive to and park in Boston it would have cost us a fortune! We didn't plan on spending any time in the hotel as we wanted to tour Boston so this was a fine place to rest our heads at night. The free breakfast is nice but be warned, it is a small space and the hotel seems to be popular with school groups. I am an early riser so at 7ish I found a sparcely filled breakfast room with ample selection of food including waffels, eggs, oatmeal, fruit and a nice atmosphere. When I returned with my family at 9 ish it was a mad house - crowded and a lot of the food and beverage needed to be replenished...the staff was doing their best but they couldn't keep up. Add to this that half the people using the area were teens who weren't the most considerate or polite....but then again, they were teenagers. 
So to summarize, this is a fine option if you are looking for a clean and comfortable place to rest your head after a day of sight seeing. Just plan to eat before 9 am or just go someplace else.
