Every now and then a four-star earns its place on a shortlist by simply doing the basics very well, Hotel Indigo Boston Garden by IHG, in Downtown Boston, is one of those. What gives the place its edge is the address itself: within an easy walk of the city centre, a detail that consistently shows up in what guests write afterwards. Inside, the rooms are well-appointed, and guests pick out reliable wi-fi, on-site parking and an in-house restaurant as the small things that add up over a stay. Pull the review pages apart and you find around 500 reviews, with a strong consensus that's hard to engineer. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Pricing has been sitting near €235 a night and the value score puts it in a middle-of-the-road bracket compared with similar properties. It's the kind of Boston property that rewards a careful comparison, the spec sheet doesn't quite capture what makes it tick.
