Based on previous reviews, my expectations were low. I was quite pleasantly surprised by the accommodations. I had a room facing the park across the street and the Charles River; the view was lovely. I was doing research at Harvard, and picked up the bus behind the hotel. It was maybe a 10 minute ride to Harvard Square. Also behind the hotel there was a McDonald's, a Bruegger's and a nice grocery store so I didn't have to eat out all the time. I had planned to stay at a youth hostel, but this hotel was only $9 more a night. I did not go into Boston, but if you have business near Harvard, this hotel is a great alternative to the ridiculously priced hotels near Harvard.

the hotel is really nice. it's simple, but it's in a great location and I felt safe staying there. it's close to downtown and to harvard. the people are nice and most importantly the hotel is clean! and like not too many hotels with a reasonable price - the parking is free and there is free internet as well. I would sure come back there again!

We booked this hotel because it was cheap. I wouldn't recommend this to anybody. This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The bathrooms have stains everywhere. When we asked why our room felt like a hundred degrees we were told to open our window because the air conditioning wasn't being turned on. Oh, and don't ask for extra towels, what an inconvenience. If you like to sleep on the ground, this is the hotel for you. The beds are as hard as a rock. If you like to be treated horribly and like camping atmospheres, then this is the hotel for you. I personally would never waste my money at this place again.

I booked this hotel for a week long family vacation. I chose it because it was close to family in the Boston area and had good reviews on online travel website. It is certainly nothing fancy, but when staying a week fancy was not an option. The room was decent with a good view of the Charles River. The bed was comfortable and the room was relatively quiet (as quiet as you can get in a large city). The hot water was always hot and you did not have to wait long for it to arrive at the tap (unlike some places I have stayed). They have free WiFi which I found to be a bit slow, but the signal was reliable and did not drop out. If there was any negative about the room/hotel, it would be that the bathroom was inadequately ventilated. A hot shower would leave the entire room very humid. However, this would not prevent me from staying there again.
One other feature worth mentioning is the Joyful Garden restaurant located in the hotel. In my opinion, the Joyful Garden produced the best tasting Chinese food I have ever had the pleasure of eating. I only have mediocre mid-western restaurants to base this on, so take it with a grain of salt (or MSG!) After eating there I asked my Boston-based relatives about the place and they were familiar with it saying, "Chinese-Americans looking for good Chinese food go there." That solidified my experience. What is even better is that they will deliver to your hotel room at no extra charge.
Overall I give the Days Hotel Boston a 4 out of 5. -

Simple Hotel, decent room Although, the walk to it was a bit unusual, room was in the back building (guessing extension) we walked down the hallway around the pool thru a door to the parking garage where a door took us to an elevator & then our room! A bit weird! I would use the hotel again becuse of the price!
