I have stayed at many Hilton properties over the years; as they are my first choice of Hotels when I travel for business or pleasure. The Doubletree Downtown Boston (Chinatown) was listed as a category 6 property. Maybe when it was first built and considering the location made this a category 6. To be fair, today I would rate this hotel a category 3 by Hilton standards. The Elevators, Lobby, and condition of the rooms are less than par. The mattress in my room was not the same comfortable mattress I am familiar with at other Hilton and Doubletree Hotels. This mattress was not plush or comfortable. I woke up with a backache. There is a large parking garage next to the Hotel. It belongs to the Hospital. There was a car alarm going over several times during my two night stay. Also the Ambulance Sirens were annoying at times. Otherwise the Hotel was quiet. Most of the Hotel including the guest rooms come equipped with a Drop Ceiling. I climbed onto the bathroom vanity and peeked up into the ceiling to see what was up there as I was concerned about SECURITY. From what I can tell a single piece of drywall was seperating me and the next room. This made me a bit uncomfortable as I could imagine any LUNATIC crawling over the wall in the middle of the night. If this is the case I am not sure how this hotel got away with that in regards to code. The staff were pleasant and friendly. However, I would not stay at this property again. Try one of the other HIltons in town or the Colonnade, Liberty, or Fairmont Copley Square.
