Stayed here for three nights for a conference at the hotel. Really really like this hotel. Friendly, well decorated, well maintained, clean, spacious. I wish it is in downtown, but of course it is an airport hotel. A few details:
- Room - Great. bright, airy, spacious, comfortable, well maintained, well decorated, good bed, good working space, good comfortable bed, good wifi-and wired access, good airconditioning system (which responds to the temperature control!), good shower, .... . Only thing - would love to have a fridge to keep my drinks cold and a safe to have a bit more peace of mind when leaving laptop, blackberry etc in the room. But no problem. Its is an airport hotel and my room faces the airport, but I couldnt hear anyplane noise at all - insulation is brilliant.
- View - half the rooms in teh hotel face the airport, east facing and ideal for plane-spotters, and half the rooms face teh harbour and downtown Boston, west facing and beautiful view. Unfortunately I got one of the rooms on the airport side,
- Harbourside grill - I had breakfast here for three mornings and a dinner as well. Delicious Crab Cake Benedict. Reasonable buffet. Good waffles although they didnt have whipped cream that morning (?). Full breakfast buffet for $25 which I think is on the expansive side. Continental for $16, which still seem a bit expensive. but desont bother me too much and this is similar price to others Hyatt's I have stayed elsewhere.
- Location - The view of Boston downtown across the harbour is to die for. In fact, the veiw is listed in Top 10 Boston guidebook as one of the top views in Boston. The drawback is, downtown is across the harbour. The pier for Water Taxi to go to downtown is right outside the hotel but costs $10 single, which I think is expensive. Alternatively, the hotel has free shuttle bus to the airport from where one can take the silver line metro/bus. This option is much cheaper but takes longer.
- Staff - They are friendly and helpful. Having just stayed in a hotel for two days in NYC where the staff are really not friendly and reluctant to help, it is so good to stay somewhere where the staff are friendly - from check in desk staff, to restaurant staff, to consierge, to cleaning staff. Great. Concierge staff are very knowledgeable too.
