I stayed at the Radisson for 6 nights and enjoyed my room very much. The free internet access is a great asset and the friendly staff is most certainly even more so. I had some disagreement concerning room billing and the personnel was most forthcoming. Two things bothered me: the hotel atmosphere is the culmination of anonymity. Lobby practically nonexistent and you felt sort of out of place even sitting down waiting for a colleague. .. I would have enjoyed a drink/piano bar.. . Furthermore the outside of the buliding resembles the lobby atmosphere.... more like a multiple story parking house with elevators carrying the cars to the different floors with not a living soul around..... :-).
It is well situated in the downtown area.... I had a balcony overlooking beautiful Boston from the 21st floor but the balcony is in no way a place to put an armchair and enjoy the view .
Nevertheless: to cut a long story short: go for it.

Good location. 15 minute walk from Back Bay Station.
Lovely area with lots of good restaurants and bars.
15 minute walk to nearest subway station but most atttractions within walking distance.
Asked for room with view and were given large room on top floor with great view and balcony. Big comfy bed and usual amenities.
Reasonable swimming pool and v small gym- nice to relax after busy day walking!
Good restaurants nearby- definitely recomment Legal Seafoods- just across road. Fantastic meal.

The Radisson is a nice place to stay. It was blocks away from the Boston Common (start of the Freedom Trail) and the subway station. This isn't the nicest place I've ever stayed, but for the price and the location, I would definitely recommend it! The breakfast at the hotel's restaurant (not complimentary) was wonderful. Be sure to try it!

We stayed at the Raddison last week and absolutely loved it. We were going to a Red Sox game and decided to book something in Boston for the night through Priceline. We got a great rate of $89.00 on priceline and were so lucky because with the NBA finals in town there were no hotel rooms to be found. Our room was on the 18th floor and had a nice view. I thought the rooms were great. They were pretty large compared to some of the rooms in the city, and it was very clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the location was perfect. I would recommend this hotel to both families as well as couples and business people. It is ten times better than the Park Plaza which is another 3 star hotel in the same area!!!!!!!!!!
