Frommer's Review

This centrally located two-story hotel is popular with families, budget-conscious businesspeople, and especially tour groups. The boxy white building is on a busy street across from the Prudential Center, within walking distance of Symphony Hall and the Museum of Fine Arts. The hotel has been completely renovated since 2006 and the second floor will get its turn in 2007 and early 2008; ask for a refurbished room, and if one isn't available, be sure to request a unit away from the work area. Throughout the building, rooms are large, bright, and attractively outfitted in no-frills contemporary style, although bathrooms are on the small side. Some units have connecting doors that allow families to spread out. The best rooms are at the back of the building, away from Huntington Avenue traffic. Photocopying and fax services are available at the front desk. Although the MidTown is no longer that rarest of birds, a super-convenient hotel with free parking, the fee is the lowest around -- less than one-third of the charge at some fancier lodgings.

Facilities:
Heated outdoor pool; access to nearby health club ($5-$10); concierge; airport shuttle; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning; rooms for those w/limited mobility

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
