Top hotels in Dorchester
Ramada by Wyndham Boston
The room was fine. The staff.... overwhelmed. I did not like that we had to sign a release incase our car was broken into. The hotel was not responsible. Had I known this, I would not have stayed there. Sketchy area.

Noise was unbearable- Was switched immediately as they put me in a room with a very loud, disturbing turbulence, which may have been the buildings older ventilation system. Impossible ...
