I stayed at the Colonnade on a recent trip to Boston for business. The best part of the hotel is the location, and that's not really a huge advantage considering that there are number of great hotels that are within 1-2 blocks of this hotel. The room itself was nice, looks like it has been recently renovated. But there are lots of strange little things in the room that keep this a good/average hotel. For example the bathroom is small and the doors open from the middle and don't close completely -- they have a 1/2 inch slit in the middle of them that is just awkward. The blinds were strangely difficult to close in our room which was annoying. We had a minibar in our room, but were not given the key to it (had to ask for that separately). And my wake-up call was about 15 minutes late the first day; again not a huge deal, but an example of average, not great, service. One thing I did like about the room is that there's a button on the inside that you can push and a "do not disturb" light will show outside the room. That's a cool feature I have not seen before, and very convenient. Overall this is an average hotel, and I would probably stay somewhere else on my next trip.
