The Best Western Plus Roundhouse Suites is a budget-friendly option near many of Boston's largest medical facilities -- but a bit far from its tourist sights. Shuttle service to hospitals, as well as to popular attractions and Boston neighborhoods, is provided for free. While the hotel does feel like the chain hotel that it is, additional freebies like an extensive breakfast, parking, and Wi-Fi add value. All rooms are two-room suites with sofa beds and microwaves, though they're due for an upgrade.

Scene
A mid-range chain with a cozy, traditional ambiance
The lobby of the Best Western Plus Roundhouse Suites is warm and cozy, with high tables, several armchairs, and a back area with hot beverages and cold drinks. Literature and brochures from local attractions are available, and postcards and other travel necessities are available for purchase at the reception desk.
Location
An unattractive area near hospitals, and about a 15-minute drive from downtown sights
While located near many of Boston’s largest medical facilities and convenient to major highways and freeways, the hotel isn’t in a particularly attractive area. With fast food chains and heavy traffic, the area is rather dull, and there aren't any real destinations within walking distance besides hospitals. However, the hotel’s proximity to major roadways and public transportation means that with a car or the hotel’s free shuttle service, getting to major Boston attractions shouldn't take long; it's about a 10-minute drive to Copley Square and a 15-minute drive to Faneuil Hall.
Rooms
Two-room suites with sofa beds and old-fashioned charm
Each room at this Best Western is a suite, with a separate living area and bedroom. All have kitchenettes with mini-fridges, coffeemakers, microwaves, and sinks, and each couch is also a pull-out bed. Rooms have a few charming traditional touches -- such as striped wallpaper, wall sconces, and gilded mirrors -- but in general are due for an upgrade. Still, they work well for longer stays or larger groups. Lower-level rooms can experience noise (such as ambulance sirens) from the nearby hospitals. Every room gets free HBO, free Wi-Fi, and free morning newspapers.
Features
Lots of freebies, including parking, Wi-Fi, breakfast, and shuttle service
The hotel offers numerous freebies, including parking and shuttle service to hospitals. The free breakfast includes hot meats, eggs, cereal, fruit, and breads. A small fitness center is open during the day, and a 24-hour business center provides guests with printing services. The hotel also includes a meeting room for up to 75 people.
