This was a pleasant surprise place to stay Boston. Yes, you can hear the trains/traffic but you're in Boston. The room was large, bed comfortable, soft sheets and towels. The small kitchenette was a lovely surprise including the dishwasher, the fridge didn't have a freezer.

Terrific new hotel with nicely decorated, spacious rooms. The garage underneath the hotel is well lit and very convenient. The hotel does not offer breakfast, but there is a convenient cafe located just across the street. It's a short walk to Mass Ave and the Porter Square T stop and restaurants. The walk to the Harvard campus is a bit longer but is very pleasant.

This is a great place to stay! Clean, super great vibe, but the best thing was how helpful the staff was… a brand new hotel trying to build the business is the best place to try out. Great value! I’ll be back for sure!

The hotel is clean, the room was big. I was next to the train so you may want to ask for a room on a higher floor or opposite side but it Durant run throughout the night (thankfully). The parking was a bit challenging to find as there was no signage but I called and they helped me out.

This hotel is clean, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the rooms are modern and spacious. The location is convenient with a short walk, (about 5 minutes to shopping and restaurants). They have a garage under the property, which is super convenient. I would stay again in a heart beat!

Very good new hotel; clean, nice beds, friendly and helpful staff. The selling point for me is its location, which is within walking distance to Porter T station, many restaurants and cafes, Target, CVS, grocery store, and urgent medical clinic.

Great location near Porter Square with its T Station, Target, CVS, Star Market... I was surprised how quiet it was in the room considering the busy neighborhood. Staff were helpful and quick when I requested more clothes hangers and recessed light bulbs to be replaced. Enjoyed the design of the room and also how it was kept clean and tidy. I have already recommended it to friends.

Reasonably good hotel, not too quiet unfortunately, but okayish. The parking garage would benefit the automation. Other than that, good location and nice rooms.

Staff was welcoming and helpful. Room was clean and air conditioning worked well. Third floor is where the ice machine is, and my room was near that and the elevator. I'm a deep sleeper so that didn't bother me, but if you're a light sleeper, would suggest a different floor.

8/10 Very good

They need to fix the issue with the refridgerators. On a very hot day the fridge wasn't working, they got someone to fix it, it worked for a while then it stopped again. So in the morning we had warm drinks. Location and price are good. Place is clean and rooms decent size, especially compared to other hotels in the area.

Terrific new hotel option in Porter Square. We stayed there just after the hotel opened, and while there are a few kinks to work out, the staff was very accommodating and helpful. Rooms are big! We stayed in a room with two queen beds plus a sitting area and a small kitchenette and it felt plenty big for 3 adults. Close to coffee, cafes, and shops.

8/10 Very good

The Beacon Suites Hotel was a very nice, modern hotel. It seemed very new with clean and well laid out rooms. Of particular note was the quietness of the air conditioning. You could tell when it cycled on (slight breeze), but there was absolutely no noise. The only downside to the hotel was its location next to a two track commuter train pulled by a diesel engine. It passed through Porter Square and the tracks were directly next to the hotel. When the trains passed, the noise was intense and the room vibrated. The only good thing was the train didn't run from about midnight to about 5am.
