Negatives: The TV did not work. I had 2 gift certificates and they would only accept one gift cert per stay! The stay was supposed to be a gift. Then front desk charged me twice for the balance! The bed was hard as nails and I woke up with a stiff neck & back.

Positive: The price is fair and it is close to Fenway.

I will be selling the other gift certificate......

While the Buckminster receives props for its proximity to attractions such as Boston University and Fenway Park, there are surely better hotels in the area. Unfortunately, a central location was not enough to make up for the pubic hairs we found on our pillows, or the long black ones we found underneath the suspiciously stained fitted sheets. It ...

Just returned from a stay at the Buckminster. Stayed there many years ago. It has been updated. It's old but has so much charm. The staff was great, friendly, helpful, great directions. Only thing I wish they had made known is you can take the T from the airport to within 2 blocks of the hotel. Would have saved us $40 cabfare. Took the T back ...

The Buckminster staff were helpful, friendly. The room with the mini-fridge was a comfortable place to relax after the game at Fenway. There is a 7-11 and wine/beer store down the block to get the essentials to store in the room. A McDonalds and banks also a short walk away.
The place has historic charm, great value for the money, very clean and an easy walk to Fenway.
Thanks to the staff at the Buckminster

We stayed here back in 2007 for St. Pats in Boston. Location-wise, the place was great for the money: especially for Red Sox games and anyone who wants to be near the T. Room-wise, they were pretty tiny and outdated, but no shocker to anyone who has ever spent time in a European hotel. If you want a place to crash at night while spending your days ...

The room was tiny, the bed was god awful and uncomfortable. The temperature cannot be controlled easily, bed spread and carpet seemed dirty. Found old shoes near bed, makes you think the room was never cleaned properly.

I liked the location, value and staff, who were very personable and friendly. Compared to the other hotels we considered, we feel like we made the right choice for the money we wanted to spend. Hotels were expensive and we found the rates at the Buckminster to be quite reasonable.

What I didn't like was driving in Boston. I would definitely not rent a car next time, but I will stay here again.

My girl and I were going to the House of Blues and stayed at the Buckminster. The hotel is about a 2 minute walk to the HOB and Fenway Park is on the other side of the street. The staff was incredibly friendly. The manager was at the desk when we checked in and upgraded us to a suite for free. Room was clean, comfortable and very spacious. This place is a bargain for Boston!

perfect location, perfect customer service and has very nice rooms
