Truly a budget hotel. Run by a non profit, and there's a Y in the basement with a pool. 20 minute nice walk to the TD Garden and there also is a shuttle (slightly unreliable.) cheap parking.
Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful but the building itself had s very weird set-up. The building is shared with a YMCA and a women's shelter and it can be confusing.
This is a great quiet area just 5 minutes from the $3 water taxi (free for active duty military and spouses). Sure, it's run down but it's cheap, the staff are courteous and it's a great location!
