Temple Place Suites is a super budget friendly option while traveling in an expensive Boston area.
The location was fantastic, very close to multiple different train/bus lines. I never had to call an Uber the entire 3 day weekend I was there. Check in was easy, albeit a few minutes late. I was sent the code in the morning for my room and got there right at check in time. I could get into the building but my room was still being cleaned at 4PM.
It was quiet in the hotel the entire trip. Didn’t have to worry about rowdy neighbors or anything.
On the negative side - the rooms and accommodations themselves were very bad. The shower had limited water pressure and would go from very hot to cold about every 30 seconds. So it was a song and dance of taking a shower each morning.
In the bathroom and my room there were holes in the wall, peeling wallpaper, rusted ceiling tiles. There were no paper towels in the bathroom for my whole visit.
The TV was super slow and glitchy to the point I didn’t want any throughout the trip because it would play 5 seconds and then pause for a minute or so.
The couch had noticeable stains and brown marks across it.
Overall I’d say I got what I paid for. This was the cheapest option in Boston and I went with it. I spent almost no time in the room so it didn’t bother me too much. I’d stay here again. Important that anyone visiting recognizes that this will not be a pretty hotel stay, but you’re saving money that will be spent on lobster rolls instead
