The receptions manager was not very nice. She was quite snotty with my Husband and me. The Hotel was in a very seedy area of Boston, not near any decent restraunt. She sent us " A couple of blocks away" . After walking 3 blocks in a highy noisy and
This hotel building was the last brick gasholder built by the Roxbury Gas Light company, and saw several other uses until it was refurbished and opened as a hotel in 2001. It now has all-suite guest accommodations, and several nice amenities including complimentary continental breakfast, a shuttle service, business center (though wifi is available for free throughout the building), a fitness center open from 6 AM to 10 PM, and first-run movies/Nintendo/cable TV in the rooms. Convenient to area schools and hospitals, as well as public transportation to reach the sightseeing, dining and shopping throughout Boston.

This was a great idea. I normally stay with family on this annual trip where I and childhood friends (all in our 70's) return home for an annual reunion; but, this time because of unusual circumstances, I stayed at the Roundhouse. It was...

Okay
The hotel was clean and comfortable with plent of room in our suite. The problem was the location which was in a semi-industrial area well away from main tourist areas.

Can't find a better deal for family

Can't find a better deal for family travel. I had 4 kids sleep comfortably in my room without extra charge.
Unfortunately, we had problems at check-in. First we were sent to a room that had not been cleaned. After being sent to a 2nd room, there...
I spent 5months here for medical reasons and if it weren't for the lack of availability of alternate accommodations, i would've left after the first week. They did have some nice things, but overall, the hotel lacks a lot of structure and is definitely not suited for long term stay.
We had reserved a junior suite that was touted by the online ad as being suitable to sleep 5 ppl comfortably. There were 2 adults in the suite for 3months, 3 adults and 1 toddler for 1month, and 3 adults/1 toddler/1 newborn for the last month and, needless to say, we found conditions very over-crowded. The upside of the room was that the bedroom (queen bed and t.v) and bathroom was seperated by a door, from the living area (includes loveseat that sleeps one, sink, fridge, coffepot, microwave and another t.v.), giving us privacy to some degree.
The business center was a small danky room off from the elevators that consisted of 2 outdated, slow computers and 2 printers (that never seemed to work and lacked the latest downloads/programs). Wireless internet is available for free, but in some rooms the reception is poor/limited (we were moved to at least 5 different rooms for various reasons during our stay), and makes connecting to the internet a pain.
The fitness center is a room no bigger than 20x25ft (and thats being generous), that houses only a couple pieces of equipment (2 treadmills, exercise bike, weight machine...) and a huge mirror along one wall to give the appearance of room much bigger. There is a water jug there as well (free water...yippee!)
Our room keys would stop working suddenly for no reason, causing all kinds of inconveniences. Various pieces of equipment did not work at all or properly ie. for the entire 5 months, we were not able to pick up a second call if we were already on the phone, despite there being 3 phones in the rooms (one in the loo, how nice...) Washcloths also became a scarce commodity in the hotel, with housekeeping doing what they can to supply the guests with what few they had to work with (4 guests in a room, here take 2 clean washcloths...8S). Rooms were drafty in the winter, with us placing additional blankets and towels around the window sill to seal out the draft. Some windows didn't stay up in the hotter months. Central Air/Heat was pathetic, with a foul smell coming out of the vents with the heat on. Vents also needed to be badly cleaned.
On two occasions, we came across potentially harmful items in our rooms. Once we found a used crack pipe and the next time it was a pill on the floor under the bed (remember we got 2 kids here now and were on medical leave). The manager then said all she could do was apologize - until we made a stink. The offer from the President of the Best Western Roundhouse Suites?........a measly 2 nights off of our stay (at this point, weve been here for 4months and have spent over $14,000 there). How do we get repaid for spending this exhorbitant amount of money to a second/third rate hotel?..., by the same manager - who has been there less than a week - beginning a nasty tirade on the phone to me about a $400 bill that is current (the last 3 days stay at the time). Was she doing this with other guests, after all, our record spoke for itself by this time. The phone call culminated in her hanging up in MY ear - the audacity!!
The positive side was that ALL of the staff were friendly, with the exception of mean manager, who eventually came around herself in the final week of my stay. We had a total of 3 managers during our stay and staff turnover was frequent. The staff, however, did go over and beyond to make our long stay comfortable.
Xmas Day we were allowed to place presents under the tree in the lobby and give our son a semblance of the holidays (thank u, front desk!!) Maintenance was always on time if called. Shuttle drivers were pleasant and courteous. They also went over and beyond their call of duty, especially in the off season, to make sure we got where we had to go rain, blow or shine. Front desk allowed me to send overseas faxes at no additional cost. They were always pleasant. Local calls were free under 30 minutes while there.
Continental breakfast is huge with all the regulars and the option of making your own waffles.
*BEWARE* the Airport Shuttle is different from the hotel shuttle. DO NOT give cash to the driver himself, he comes in to collect a voucher from front desk and the charge is added to your bill. He will take your cash if you dont know and offer it to him, he did it to me!!
Soo much more i want to say, but this sums it up in a nutshell....Reserve your room with caution...!!!
