interested in knowing about is the "Buckminster". It was just renovated in
'99 and seems a nice deal. I have a travel agency and these small hotels can
often be a real find for my price conscious clients.

I stayed at the Chandler Inn a year ago, and was not charmed.
The street noise was very loud with the window open (no air
conditioning), even though I was on an upper floor, and my
room was extremely stuffy with the window closed. The continental
breakfast supposedly included in the price was served so late
that I wasn't able to have it. The room furnishings weren't
falling apart, but were in a tired state that I'd associate
with a very low-budget hotel. The Chandler Inn wasn't that
inexpensive, and I expected better.
Accommodation in Boston seems to be very much a seller's market.

No air conditioning???
That takes it off my recommended list, at least during the summer.
I didn't think any Boston hotel could get away with that.

The Buckminster Hotel is in Kenmore Square, which is 15-20 minutes
walk, or a 2-stop Green Line ride, from Copley Square. It is the
closest hotel to Fenway Park (Red Sox ballpark) and to a popular strip
of nightclubs on Landsdowne Street. That can be either a good or a bad
thing, depending on who your customer is. Kenmore Square can get pretty
boisterous on baseball nights.

I called the Chandler Inn and asked if they have air conditioning,
and they said they do; they have portable units that they install
each April and remove in the fall. Either yours was malfunctioning
(in case you should have demanded a refund or reassignment), or they're
not telling me the truth on the phone.

I was there on April 24, 1998. Maybe I just missed the installation
of the air conditioners by a few days. The room wasn't stiflingly
hot with the window closed, but the air seemed to go stale very
quickly. They need some sort of ventilation system year round.

around $80 for a double.
