Miranova Suites

Miranova was not as bad as I expected.
The price here was ¹⁄₃ the price of staying in Boston. The walk to the train station was only a few blocks away.
Parking is free but it is a few blocks away also.
Room is decent sized and was clean. It was enough for me for my night stay.

We went here anyway after reading previous reviews, so we knew what we were in for.
Nova charged a $ 100 hold upon booking with
, but I used a PayPal card so it didn’t hit my bank account. (We were unable to change the card when we checked in, but transferred the money quickly. Seriously, get a PayPal debit card if you share hotel rooms on a regular basis.)
We only live ~20 minutes away, but wanted somewhere to party with friends and crash safely/​comfortably on New Year’s Eve. As several 20/​30-​somethings with less-​than-​ideal housing situations, it seemed like a great idea.
Parking was in the public lot out back, very convenient. I’m not sure if the location changes, so we called ahead.
The front desk person was very nice and accommodating. When we got to our suite, we found that the sofa didn’t pull out, so we couldn’t comfortably fit our fourth person. We were moved to another room with a huge bathroom w/​jacuzzi tub and pull-​out sofa, no problem. The receptionist ran up to the 3^rd floor with extra pillows and blankets for us.
We did find some kids’ clothes behind the bed. Again, given past reviews, it was just kind of… funny? Everything else was perfectly clean.
The heater/​AC is kind of tricky, but worked fine. There are some snacks and booze in the room – not as expensive as you’d find in a chain hotel, but there’s also a convenience store next door.
The bed was springy but comfortable, and the kitchenette was clean and functional.
The floors weren’t level, but it’s an old building. I’d rather uneven floors than see another old building razed around here.
The décor was modern and the color scheme was pleasant. No bad generic hotel art. Our toilet was square. Like, a cube.
The water didn’t stay hot for long, and there weren’t any full-​sized towels. We probably could have asked for some.
There were two large flatscreen TVs, not many channels.
The walls were very thin, so I could hear my friends on the 3^rd floor (near the stairs) laughing from the lobby. There was definitely noise from outside, but it was New Year’s, so there’d better be.
Convenient to the Red Line – my brother was easily able to go to the festivities in Boston on his own, then meet us here. We only got one key, so we had to go downstairs to let him in. No problem.
Around 10:30 PM there were a couple folks looking to reserve a room, but the receptionist was gone for the night and they couldn’t get in touch with anyone by phone.
Overall, it was perfect for our needs and I’d stay here again. I accept it for all its quirks.
(It’s too bad that this place isn’t more accessible to people with disabilities – there are no elevators, and the rooms are definitely not accessible.)

This place definitely isn’t as bad as everyone else puts it out to be. The price was right, the location was perfect (a few blocks from the station), and grabbed the coffee/​weird tasting bagel to go. The fridge in the kitchenette was making loud engine noises so we did end up unplugging that during our stay.
The place is right next to a bunch of bars/​night clubs so it can get a bit noisy at night. The wifi also stopped working the second night saying that I had the wrong password (front desk person said the password never changed). Great place to stay on a budget despite the stiff bed, no elevators, and tiny setbacks.

This hotel is great for those who want to experience Boston, but save a little money on a room by not staying in downtown Boston.
The hotel is great only for laying your head down at the end of the day, and grabbing a free coffee and bagel before your day starts. Don’t expect a luxury hotel experience, but then again, you’re in Boston. You shouldn’t be in a hotel all day long.
PROS: free parking, free continental breakfast, free Wi-​Fi, 5 min. walk to the T, 20 – 30 min ride into North End Boston, staff very helpful and friendly, VERY cheap compared to hotels in downtown Boston.
CONS: you might be site-​seeing Boston, and you’re not IN Boston, but you’re close. Wash your own dishes (I do this at home enough, I’m on vacation and pay $ 100+ a night for a reason), No elevator, but there are only 3 floors to this hotel, no lobby bathroom (had to go upstairs and to my room to use the restroom, that’s inconveniencing, but whatever)
Room was «okay.» I’m not Ecstatic about the cleanliness of our room. The pillows look as if they were clean, but had remains of mascara and make-​up specks on them. Our Shower was wet in the bottom, not sure if this was from the guests prior to us, or from cleaning… It’s a mystery. There was some weird splattering inside the bathroom door, looked like paint — maybe, I hope? Outside of room door there was also some grayish splattering… Seeing a common theme here and not sure what to think. Everything is from IKEA, which is great looking and cheap for them, just not sure how long everything should last with multiple people using the stuff.
Nonetheless, the hotel is nice and serves its very basic purpose as a hotel.

The literal worst.
No phones in the rooms.
The plugs in bathroom were blocked with plastic
The heater didn’t work at all in our room.
Construction started at 6am in what sounded like the next room.
No elevator
Dirty smeared walls
Front desk person nowhere to be found in the morning.
They want you to do your own dishes
You’re like not even trying, guys. Get it together.

This hotel is just plain bad. Filthy. Stains on the walls, bedding. Nasty bathroom I don’t plan on showering in. Bad area. Far away from anything to do in Boston. Paid $ 125 a night as a last minute «deal.» Wouldn’t pay $ 50 to stay here again. Go somewhere else.

I found the room clean albeit European small. The counter help was «curt» and autocratic. I know I left a beautiful night gown at the hotel — white, I got almost zero help from the mgr on site — it may have been pulled with linens — but virtually no effort was made to recover, and the reception was pedantic (at best) when checking in.
The parking was difficult to find. The area is pretty rough. The hotel let it’s maid service steal my stuff without attempting to recover it.

This place sucks. It is most certainly not worth the price tag. The countertop is held together with double sided tape. They put us in a room that all week we got to hear and feel the construction happening in the space below us. When we asked for clean towels, two more pillows, and for our room to be cleaned after we has been there for about 24 hours… The front desk lady looked at us like we’d both sprouted another head! Also we found items in the bathroom from previous occupants. Namely deodorant and a razor among them, and the toothpaste remains all over the bathroom faucet and handles. I have pictures I will upload later. Do not stay here. It is not worth what you pay!
