Hotels near Dorothy Curran Children＇s Park, Boston

The location of this hostel is amazing! I stayed there for two nights in a six bed female dorm. The sheets were fresh and the hostel clean. Looking at some reviews here please keep something in mind: This is a hostel with a lot of people going in and out. Boston is an expensive city and you can’t find hotels in that location for less that $300-400 a night during busy seasons. So while this hostel might seem expensive at first, it is relatively cheap in comparison to hotels. Also consider the taxes. My bed was $69 but after tax, membership and all, I came close to a $100. Also, you’ll be sharing a room. There will be people coming in and out….what else would you expect? Earplugs and eyeshades go a long way. People come to Boston for different reasons, so they won’t be on the same schedule as you! However I thought everyone did great sticking to the quite times from 11-7. The mornings can get busy using the bathrooms, so plan accordingly. I thought it was a really cool place where you could work to many sights! I am glad I stayed there and saved myself from getting expensive hotels. Instead I used the saved money to explore the city’s sights, great coffees and delicious restaurants! Great stay!

We had a wonderful visit. We stayed from a Friday to Monday. The hotel staff was super nice and helpful. Our plane arrived at 8 am so we knew it was too early to check in. The staff kindly took our luggage and stored it for us. Luckily we were able to check in around noon. We headed to our room and it was adorable. We had a small issue with our hvac making a noise and as soon as we told the staff not even 10 mins someone was up to fix it. We could not have asked for a better hotel.

Love the convenience of this hotel and it’s very clean. Everyone is very friendly and helpful and there is a walkway tunnel right to my terminal from the airport. I would definitely recommend staying here and the restaurant is also very delicious.

Though the customer service at the front desk was great, other things weren’t. When we arrived in our room, we immediately noticed gross stains on the lamp shades and walls. We had a lunchbox with a few snacks for our toddler and when we woke up found chewed holes from mice in the lunch box and multiple bags of food. The bathtub would fill during a shower and took about 20-30 minutes to empty afterwards. Half of the outlets in the room didn’t work. And Convenient for out of staters the breakfast area was closed. My fiancé and I agreed that it’s not worth saving money and from now on we are sticking with Marriott or Hilton!

Room was quiet, well-sized and well decorated. Can’t beat the location if you need to be in Harvard Square. Restaurants and bars in the hotel are nice, Staff are friendly, Housekeeping is good, Downsides: mattress was completely worn out and I could only sleep on one side of the bed. Also they checked another guest into my room, which I discovered when she unlocked the door and walked in at 11 pm (to her surprise). For a super-premium hotel, both of these were unacceptable. Next time I will just save $200-$400 per night and stay at the many two-star hotels in the area.

The room facilities and other facilities are basically the same as the Wynn in Las Vegas, and they are also similar to those in Macau. Even the English on the toiletry box is bigger than the Chinese. This price is very good value for money for hotels of the same class in Boston. However, the hotel's food is inconvenient and there are many gamblers, which is a bit troublesome. The quality of front desk staff varies. The employees at the beginning were pretty good, but the employees you know later were much worse.

The hotel and room were nice. The hotel felt very new as if it had recently opened or was renovated. There was plenty of space inside the room and the beds were comfortable. The bathroom was also nice and clean. We did have to call and ask for soap since there was none in our room upon arrival (which is odd during CoVid times) but soap was very quickly delivered to us. The hotel had a breakfast in the lobby and it was a pretty standard selection of breads, fruit, and yogurt. I was disappointed to see that there were not a lot of tongs and people were using this hands and some food was just left out in the open. People were not required to sanitize their hands or wear masks in the area where the food was. Our checkin experience was not great. We did arrive earlier than the check in time and the staff didn’t seem thrilled about it. They pretty much told us we could sit in the lobby and wait an hour or so before checkin started. We asked if there was anywhere in the area to go to walk/eat/shop and they told us there was a home goods and Starbucks nearby. They didn’t give us directions and we ended up googling them. We ended up going there to just wait it out until we could come back and check in. We were going into Boston that night for a show and it was easy enough to get in/out of Boston. It was a good place to stay for the night.

My wife and I stayed for four nights, as we used this centralized location to tour the surrounding environs of Boston, Plymouth, Quincy, and Cohasset. We had no trouble with check-in, or with our room. Our room was clean, comfortable, and had all the amenities. We particularly liked that the bathroom sink was outside the bathroom which saved morning time for both of us. Only downside was the free breakfast; the entrees were basic stock items lacking taste and overall appeal; breakfast sausage patty was like a leather shoe. The coffee & tea setups were good. We found a great local breakfast/lunch eatery in Newcomb Farms less than four miles away. We'd stay again for the location and comfort, as we didn't come here to dine.

The hotel is close to the sea, very casual, the place where the locals play, very relaxed, you can also watch the sunrise and sunset

Bottom line: I stayed at this hotel for 5 days. It’s not great but also not terrible. I would stay again if it was only for a couple of days and it was less then $120/night. Some observations: The bed was old and squeaky. It was comfortable enough though. The pillows were of standard comfort for a hotel of this level. The tv cable system was utterly outdated. There was no guide function or even a paper that shows the stations and channel numbers. So you have to flip through channels one by one and changing a channel takes about 5 seconds to load. The decor and furniture was outdated but relatively clean. Some people on here mentioned that you should get a room close to the elevators if you don’t want to walk too much. But there are other entries all around the building that are locked. You need to insert your room keycard to unlock those doors. The problem though was that those outdoor card reader didn’t work about 70% of time. The buses: Apparently this is a very popular hotel for bus drivers. Tour buses are constantly parked all around the parking lot. It didn’t cause any real problems since the parking was so plentiful. However, having the buses constantly idling in the parking lot and coming and going all day long, it sometimes felt like I was staying at a bus station. The hotel is only a couple hundred yards from I-95. This caused some road noise at night. The solution to this problem is to turn on the Constant Fan feature on the AC as a sort of white noise (it’s not on the wall thermostat; rather you have to lift the lid of the actual AC to turn on this feature). The walls are thin. You can hear every time any neighbors flush the toilet, which was not particularly pleasant. The housekeeping was outstanding. It was provided every day, which was a pleasant surprise seeing as many hotels still only provide it every few days. They were very thorough in their cleaning and really did a tremendous job each day.
