Hotel Ivy Boston Common

Good stay will stay here again!

Clean, unique hotel located in a neighbor with easy access to parking and sights. Staff was friendly and efficient. Would stay again.

Nice place

The bed was comfortable and the air conditioner was functional. The hotel was easy to find. However, I had a terrible time checking in and hardly slept at all because it was so noisy. First, I checked in at 1am and was exhausted after a long day of travel. The front desk staff person didn't greet me, and walked away from the desk the moment I walked in. He was playing music outlaid on his phone the whole time. Then he meticulously typed in all my details: name, phone number, email, credit card, reservation number, ID number. I've checked into countless hotels, and this whole interaction (that usually just requires my credit card, ID, and reservation number) should have taken two minutes but went on for 15. Second, I get to my room, which is through a dingy staircase area past two doors, and I hardly slept because there was so much noise throughout the night. The air conditioner made this horrible loud moaning sound every so often, and at 5am I heard a lot of screaming from the staircase outside my room and sounds like hammering. I was kept up by doors slamming all night. All in all, this was supposed to be a quick and easy, peaceful but brief night's sleep by the train station. Instead it took forever to get to my room, was kept up all night by loud noise, and checked out absolutely exhausted. I will never stay here again and will be asking management for a partial refund.

It is an older place, but the cleanliness as good as an older place can be.
