I got a good price for this hotel on a travel site. I decided to try it, though I usually stay elsewhere when I am in Boston. Let me cut to the quick:
1. Hotel has very big rooms and bathrooms (marble)
2. This is absolutely "no frills" though it is clean and modern. Very masculine.
3. I can't tell you about the "bar" or "restaurant" personally, as I was not even interested
looking for it.
4. This hotel was made for a businessman's trip. Women, go elsewhere.
5. You will probably not stay where there is a front desk, bar, or restaurant in your
building.
There are 4 different buildings and the 1st and 2nd floor are the hotel rooms.
Of course there is no ice machine, so one must wait for room service from
another building to bring you ice.
6. Be prepared to direct every taxi to your hotel, as no one appears to know where this
hotel is, though it has been opened for 2 years.
7. The hotel has no concierge, as they will tell you that all that work at the desk are
the "concierge"
8. If you need a cab fast, you are out of luck
9. Better know where you are going in the North End, (which is basically where the
hotel is), because believe me, no one at the hotel knows where anything is.
10. If you want to see Boston for vacation reasons, avoid this hotel, as you really pretty
much already need to know what there is and how to get there.
11. Room service breakfast sucks. Pancakes were heavy and ice water must be asked
for.
12. Hotel is not near anything, but would really be ideal for hiding out, in case you ever
want to. (This is why taxis cost more than you will ever spend anywhere else in
Boston)
13. Restaurant menu at the hotel, "Sensing" looks like an overpriced 1990's menu. I d
don't see this becoming a place to dine in Boston, as there are so many more
reasonable and delicious cuisine to be had
