The Boxer

Great stay. Rooms were updated and clean. Great location to TD Garden. Staff was very helpful and friendly.

Check in was wonderful! I advised staff ahead of time we would be arriving early and asked to store our luggage. When we arrived we were personally greeted and a room was ready for us. The location is great! Easy access to the T station, many restaurants, and quick walk to TD Garden for Bruins game but out of the way of all the traffic. Would definitely stay again!

The good: This hotel's location is the best thing going for it. Located right around the corner from TD Garden, and within a short walking distance of the North End, Faneuil Hall, Boston Common etc. it's a no brainer choice if you're in town for an event or to see the sites. Although there is no onsite parking, the hotel works with a garage a couple blocks away to offer overnight parking at a discounted rate of $40usd/day. The hotel provides vouchers and charges you directly, which is one less thing to do when you leave. Outside of that the rooms are very compact, but offer very comfortable beds/linens and a decent size shower considering the size of the room as well as the basics like a mini fridge, iron and safe to help make the most of your trip. The room is also stocked with a variety of snacks/beverages, each with a hefty pricetag. The not so good: The rooms are LOUD. Whether it's noise from the street, the hallway or adjacent rooms you will hear all of it. The glass in our room's window was broken, the sheets had tears in them and the bath robe had a hole. This didn't ruin the stay, but not what you expect from a 4-star hotel. House keeping did a good job overall, but consistently missed food on the ground that was there before I checked in.

This is my second time staying at The Boxer and I won’t stay anywhere else when in Boston. Walking distance to TD Garden and North End is so convenient. Great staff who greets you with a smile and I’ve been able to check in early which is greatly appreciated. Keep up the amazing service!

Very small tiny bedroom located right next to electrical room. Horrible noises all the time. Only one small elevator for 9 floors.

The hotel was chosen for its convenience and location near to TD Garden. This turned out to be its only redeeming quality. When we arrived, I was informed that I would incur further “amenity charges” per night. That was just a money grab because I do NOT know what amenities I received. My “amenity charge” certainly did NOT seem to guarantee me any heat in my room! I don’t know what the so-called amenities were except maybe to cover the cost of the L’Occitane toiletries in the bathroom. The room was fairly average and at first glance clean but after a closer look, it could’ve used a deep cleaning.

Slice of cool, old Boston. Great: Location, old-school & unique architecture, great restaurant-bar. Not-so great: Small rooms, not well designed for size. Some modern conveniences missing—there’s no room. Really bad: Parking! Dark & stormy night. Had to park in the downright creepy lot next to hotel. Stuffed $50 in rolled-up cash in an ancient metal slot box. Walked away with a quiet prayer car will be there come morning. It was, but blocked-off. Had to plead my case to attendant car was mine & I’d paid for the spot. Understand parking is no picnic in downtown Boston but management MUST fix this!

Rooms are super small. No closet with tiny bathrooms. Barely a counter in the bathroom to put your toothbrush on. Half the time my room did not get serviced as they showed up so late in the day!
