    We stayed in the centre of Boston at the start of our trip and slightly further our at Porter Square at the end of our trip before flying home. Porter square was my favourite as it was cheaper, opposite an excellent thai restaurant and quieter too. Lovely room and location very close to a metro stop to get you easily into the centre of the city.

    Nice and clean small hotel. Convenient location. Little services offered given that not-so-cheap room charge.

    The location is about a 5-minute walk from the Davis MBTA station, and 10 from Porter Square. It's relatively inexpensive.
