This was a last minute trip and we had difficulty finding availability in the Back Bay area of Boston. The Buckminster is one maybe two blocks from the Back Bay so everything worked out fine. Our room was spotless and extremely comfortable and the service was fantastic, very friendly and professional staff from check in to check out. During our... more

The hotel is about a 5 min walk from Fenway Park. There are a ton of great restaurants around the hotel. The front desk staff was great and vary professional. I only had two problems with my stay here. The parking is in a building next to the hotel and is not run by the hotel; it is run by... more

A friend of mine was visiting from Florida and he wanted to catch a Sox game while in town. Getting tickets was easier than finding a hotel room in the city. Eventually, after much searching, I called the Buckminster and found a room with two beds for $179, which was about a hundred bucks cheaper than anything else I could... more

My Wife and I and another couple stayed at the Buckminster for two nights on our first trip to Boston. We were a bit apprehensive about staying there due to some mediocre reviews online but were pleasantly surprised and satisfied with the hotel. We paid $149 for a room with a king size bed and it included a modest continental... more

This hotel is full of character and charm, but is not for the person who is a hotel snob. The rates are reasonable and there are no frills and no pampering....just a good, clean place to sleep before going out for whatever you came to Boston to do. THE STAFF IS EXCEPTIONAL and will go the extra mile to make... more

I let my wife book this trip and I was really worried when I saw the reviews on TripAdvisor, but it was too late to cancel. Anyway, the hotel was fine. No roaches, parking was available, the staff were pleasant enough and the room was clean enough. Don't get me wrong, it's no luxury room. I was happy to sleep... more

We were on a baseball weekend, and you couldn't get closer to Fenway park unless someone dropped you off in front. It was very close to the subway, and just a few stops from historical places. There were also great sports bars within walking distance. The facility was roomy, clean, and full of character. We arrived about midnight, and the... more

This hotel is exactly what they say they are. An affordable hotel with a great location in a city that has very few affordable hotels. My wife and I found the hotel to be clean and the staff to be very friendly and helpful. If you are looking for four star accomodations at a 2 star rate, the Buck will... more
