The room was clean and spacious. One of the tvs did not work and neither did the telephone you could not even call the front desk. BUT the location of this hotel because of the T station makes up for most of it! The parking is also very convenient. These two thing are always issues when staying in Boston so I will definitely book here again. The hotel was very clean and has a very different interesting look and vibe.

Our reservation was changed without notice. They gave us the wrong room without notification. The second night, when transferred to correct room; the AC went out at night, when we needed it the most. I will say, the young lady that came to the room to look at the AC did seem to genuinely try and help. The same staff member also walked me to the service elevator to get to the 5th floor when the main elevator was inoperable, on our first night there. Kudos to her. I also appreciated the discount and that is why we will give this location another stay. Everyone deserves a second chance. I have high hopes that my next visit in October will be 4-star review worthy! Thank you to the staff of the Arcadian

Nice hotel a couple of blocks from a great neighborhood. Be aware: they charge an extra $35/night “destination fee” when you arrive, so the price that Expedia shows “including all taxes and fees” does not include THAT fee. Also, while I was there the only elevator went out of service for several hours, and they were very begrudging about taking me up to the fifth floor on their service elevator.

The staff was not helpful at all. We had to figure out the parking situation ourselves. We had to ask where the parking garage was (not in an obvious location) Staff did not give us any sort of explanation where our room would be. We had to search it ourselves. Did not help that this place was a maze trying to find our room.

We booked a Deluxe King room with Expedia however a few days prior to our trip we received an email from The Arcadian that stated we were in a Queen Accessible. I called Expedia immediately and they assured me we would be getting a King room. The Expedia rep told me to call them if there was a problem. When we got to The Arcadian they told me there was no King room available. I showed her my paperwork from Expedia that clearly showed we booked a King Room but she continued to say we were in a Queen. I called Expedia and they still said we had a King. They called and spoke with the woman but she still refused to give us a King or refund any of our money. She told us we could take the Queen or cancel our reservation. She even told me to hand up on the Expedia representative. We will not stay here again. The housekeepers were nice and did a great job.

I really liked the hotel overall, but the phone reception in our room was non existent. I had to go out into the common area and talk on my phone. Most of the time I could not send or receive texts either. I have an iPhone and my sister who was with me has an android and she was having the same issues. Maybe it was our carrier which is Verizon, but it was very frustrating. There was no natural light which I knew about and I was okay with that. However, it would be nice if there was brighter lighting in the room to make up for no natural lighting. Other little issues were that when linen was brought to the room they would take out our washcloths and not leave any new ones. That was odd. Other than those little issues the hotel was in a great location. Felt very safe and it was right on the train line. The hotel was not right in the mix of things but it was close enough that you didn’t have to travel too far. For us it was walkable to Fenway park which we did. Overall I would stay here again. Just some minor little issues.

Check in was simple. Staff was very friendly. We were very disappointed in the room we had. Staff quickly resolved and we couldn't be happier. Parking was very very frustrating. Entrance not clearly marked. Circled the building twice, had to go back inside to be told that the entrance was around the bend that couldn't be seen. Then there is the trying to gt out or in with the gates...just be prepared. Once you figure it out you are set.
