Holiday Inn Express - Boston South - Quincy, an IHG Hotel

The Holiday Inn Express, Quincy was chosen because of the very high hotel prices being charged in downtown Boston and the fact that it was only 200 metres from the North Quincy Red Line subway (metro) station, thus allowing easy cheap access into central Boston each day. We bought a 7-day Charlie Card for the subway, even though we were only staying 3 nights - it worked out cheaper that way and gave us unlimited access to the Boston transport system (including the ferry ride across the harbour). Please note that the subway journey from North Quincy to downtown Boston takes 30 minutes each way - the metro train runs slowly (very slowly) for a journey time that most other USA cities could complete in about 15 minutes. The hotel facilities were exactly as described on the booking.com website - it was a modern clean hotel. Our room was most satisfactory and as a real bonus was the self-help in-house laundry facility - clean clothes at last!! There is no restaurant in this hotel - only a breakfast room where the breakfast was satisfactory, being the standard hot American buffet. However, the reception desk had a list of all the nearby restaurants - a very useful aid. - thank you. The majority of the restaurants were within some 5 minutes walk of the hotel - walk back towards the North Quincy station and then onto the first set of traffic lights and turn right - just after the 7/11 store is the start of the restaurants. Most restaurants are of the fast-food type, but we would like to specifically mention the "Pho Linh" Vietnamese restaurant - we ate there the first night, and my wife made the unsolicited comment of "That is the first meal in the States that I have really enjoyed" - we ate there every subsequent night it was so good. Note that the local Quincy restaurants are far cheaper than those in central Boston!!! For us, the Holiday Inn Express at Quincy proved to be very good value for money for our 3-night Boston stay

4 minute walk to the train station, breakfast was included with stay, rooms were clean & stocked, complimentary water & coffee in lobby, lots of choices for breakfast and they accommodated my request for our rooms being next to each other.

The location is good for visiting Quincy but a little too far out from Boston central .The train station is close by . Uber to Boston in the range of $15-40 depending on time of day . Staff were friendly and helpful .

Location was handy for what we needed, rooms were comfortable. Reception staff very friendly & helpful.

Staff were friendly and helpful. There was a problem with our shower but it was fixed the day we notified it. The location is great, really handy for the T trains - there are frequent trains and not too long a ride into the centre of Boston. Great breakfast with a wide selection of hot and cold items.
