A few fast food joints but not nearly enough seating/tables available with some updates given a new Chick-Fil-A was coming. McDonalds, donuts, coffee, a mini bar, alcohol shop, and CVS all inside. Outside taxi and bus stand, though the taxi driver wanted a minimum in charge and would only take cash if it was only $15-20 for the ride to the hotel. Amtrak, buses, subway stop, and regional rail here (MBTA). The building wraps around the corner and doesn't connect to the business tower behind - interesting design, though. They did allow you to board about 10-15 min early.

There should be more seating, but that's a symptom of a nation-wide problem with anti-homelessness. The empty space along the wall is pretty noticeable, though. The entrance to the station is on the side of the Marriot Hotel and while it is conveniently located, it's a little hard to point out to tourists. Look for a glass triangle poking out of the ground.

It's right by Suffolk University, and the State House. It's where you can cross from the Blue to the Orange lines though that was a little confusing for me. It's relatively clean, but kind of busy and crowded so that could be a little intimidating if you're jet lagged and unfamiliar with the area. I recommend that you look at a real map before you come here, Google Maps Walking won't work well downtown but especially not in the underground part of the station.

We didn't really know what to do at the start because there weren't any instructions of how to purchase a ticket. Apparently you can just put your card to the turnstile and it will credit you for a ride and open the gate. Ignore others jumping the gate. It's not right and others we talked to said eventually people get caught jumping the gate or drafting people through.

I guess considering it is a commuter rail station that my options are fairly restrictive. A basic station and nothing more.

First time here taking the Amtrak train to NY. Usually we go to South station but decided to go…read morehere instead this time and worked out great. It's a small station with a small room waiting area. There is a Dunkin' Donuts right there and if you walk around the corner there is a Jugos - which is actually really great - lots of healthy food and drink choices. The train schedule monitors are easy to read and shows the track a few minutes before the train arrives. Then you go down to the platform. What is nice is the platform has the cars marked Car1, Car 2 so you know exactly where your car will be and can wait there and get into right car when the train arrives. Really a nice feature- not seen on many tracks. Getting here by Uber was easy - got dropped off right outside and walk right in. Train was on time and place was not too crowded. So our travel went smoothly. Arriving back also was fairly easy. Got out of the train and went upstairs to the waiting room area. Called an Uber and got home. Overall good experience here.

Some stations don't have AC, just big fans and it's part of the charm for me. Park St is an important hub. You can stop here for Boston Common and other downtown destinations. You can change here for red or other green directions. It is a tad confusing, sometimes there's staff around. But you can manage. Trains arrive fast and I could have gotten the hang of them better longer I stayed. It makes it easy to get around town and Park st was a stop we used a lot for visiting or changing to other lines.

Even a devout atheist will find a recitation necessary upon arriving at the Park Street T station:…read more"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me." I have not had the pleasure of visiting the valley of the shadow of death, but I have been told it is not unlike this T station. The screech of Green Line rolling stock scratching their rails; the wail of children in pain; the stench of a thousand decaying rats; the reddish brown splattering of feces on the wall; the endless tunnels and crevices wet with moisture and tears. They do not comfort me. Woe unto you, ye souls depraved! Its location is not inconvenient. A hop and a skip and a jump from: - the Tremont Street Burger King, - the Granary Burying Ground, - the Boston Common Frog Pond, - the AMC Boston Common 19, - the Washington Street Marshalls, - the Suffolk Dental Group, - the Robert Gould Shaw and the 54th Regiment Memorial. A true horror it would be to find oneself trapped in the Park Street T station. You step off the last train and the doors are already locked. Your dreams will be haunted by the screech of Green Line rolling stock scratching their rails; the wail of children in pain; the stench of a thousand decaying rats; the reddish brown splattering of feces on the wall; the endless tunnels and crevices wet with moisture and tears. The Park Street T station is best visited with the greatest amount of transience manageable, and even better avoided.

From the Embassy Suites by Hilton at Boston Logan airport it was less than 10 minutes to Airport station. We cut through the park and headed to the station on foot. Standing at the ticket machine we were trying to decide how many rides we wanted to buy. Fortunately there was a MBTA agent on hand. He suggested we buy a one day unlimited Charlie card for $11.00. We each purchased one. Then we took the blue line to get to Faneuil Hall. Later we also took the SL3 to get to Seaport from Airport station. The Charlie Card was perfect. And every driver we encountered was friendly and very helpful.

It is not necessarily architecturally significant, just refreshing in the somewhat drab world of MBTA underground stations. Little touches like a brick floor, or square 'plates' on the walls. It is also brightly lit, clean, and doesn't smell like the Brattle St. elevator at Harvard Sq. The station has a vastly underrated center platform, so you won't have to search for an entrance alternate entrance like a confused tourist. While there are two, these are not difficult to find. Finally, there is bus access upstairs with signage displaying more information about departures. Don't quote me here; I've been in quarantine too long.
