Located in Boston’s pricey and historic South End neighborhood, the Alise Boston offers an affordable alternative to budget-minded travelers who value savings more than amenities. The Trophy Room, a popular on-site American bistro that serves a lively bar crowd at night, is a highlight. A couple of T station stops are a short walk away, and it's a 10-minute walk to Copley Square and Newbury Street. Rooms are clean and contemporary, particularly for the price, but features are limited -- guests will not find closet space, exercise facilities, or room service.

The 117-room Studio Allston Hotel is a two-pearl property near the Charles River that's fine for a quick overnight stay for those on a budget. The immediate area isn't the most charming, though, and Boston's major sights aren't walkable from here. While bus lines exist in the area, they are infrequent and guests with cars will fare better; it takes around 15 minutes to drive into downtown Boston, and up to ten minutes to drive to Harvard Square depending on traffic. Parking and Wi-Fi are both free.

Occupying a former jail, the 298-room Liberty Hotel is a unique luxury property with a hip atmosphere and a playful design that honors the building’s rich history. Rooms are stylish and elegant, with tons of interesting decorative elements that incorporate the incarceration theme, and upscale bathrooms with separate rain showers and soaking tubs. The stunning lobby is a popular hangout spot for afterwork drinks, and Scampo is known for its wonderful Italian cuisine and chic interiors. The Liberty is popular with couples, and also draws many business travelers with over 6,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting space, 24-hour business and fitness centers, and lots of wonderful dining and drinking options on-site. The location in Beacon Hill is convenient for shopping, dining, and hospitals, but most major tourist attractions are at least a 15-minute T ride away. Families may want to compare rates at Hotel Marlowe.

The two-and-a-half-pearl Hotel Boston offers comfortable and reasonably priced accommodations in a quiet residential area near Boston College and Boston University. The former Best Western University Hotel also is a short walk to public transit to get downtown, but it's a 40-minute trip. The property's 74 guest rooms are nicely equipped with AC, flat-screen TVs, microwaves, mini-fridges, coffeemakers, and free Wi-Fi, but they’re a bit dark and dated, and bathrooms are on the small side. Suites with kitchenettes and sleeper sofas are available. Amenities are limited to a business center, a free hot breakfast, and free Wi-Fi throughout, and while there's on-site parking, it costs extra and is pricey. Travelers looking for a step up that's closer to downtown can compare rates with the Holiday Inn Boston Brookline, which offers a pool, fitness center, and restaurant.
