7.4/10 Good! (89 reviews)
Had a 4 night stay at the Maverick Suites on Temple Street. I mainly booked this room to be close to my daughter, who lives a couple of doors down. The room is a bit tight for two people, but my friend & I made it work by sleeping 90 degrees on the double bed to turn it into more of a "short king". Room was very clean, however the one suggestion I would make is to use less of the strong-smelling cleaner (Fabioso?) or a more natural cleaner. Otherwise, the property felt safe and clean. Beautiful hardwood floors, nice bathroom & small kitchen area. Staff is very responsive via TEXT (not by phone). We requested clean towels etc, and they were very accommodating. Temple St. is walkable to many sites you'll want to check out in Boston via a walk or to the Park St T station. I would recommend staying at the Maverick Suites!

9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,542 reviews)
We were pleased with the neighborhood and our actual room. The staff member who checked us in seemed intoxicated and smelled strongly of alcohol. We were told we had a credit to use in the hotel but were charged and never received the credit. The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. We enjoyed the historic neighborhood.
