Top hotels in Dorchester
Ramada by Wyndham Boston
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Boston Bayside
"The hotel is fine - parking is good although $ 27 per night. The room was clean and has what you need. The cafe has the basics. Overall not a great value for money but if you are going to U Mass its a no brainer. Would stay there again."
