Spent Memorial Day weekend at the Hilton Back Back with my wife and two young children. Rate was $154/night, which included two buffet breakfasts per night at Boodles. Hotel is in a great location - close to T, major attractions, shopping and major highways. Hotel is clean and modern. Room was of decent size. Two double beds - both real comfortable. Bathroom looks like it was upgraded recently. Climate control worked well. They have a pool - once was empty and another time (at night) was hopping with kids. Service was unfailingly polite. Vern and Jeff at the door were very pleasant and helpful. Buffet at Boodles was fine - $15/pp (1/2 price for kids - although they let my 3 year-old eat for free). It included french toast, pancakes, bacon/sausages, pastries, coffee/juice and a wet glop of scrambled eggs. If you eat light, you can find McDonalds and Starbucks one-half block away. Considering that you're a 5 minute walk to the T and then only 10-15 mins of a T ride to just about all major attractions (NE Aquarium, Quincy Market, Public Gardens, Boston Common, North End), you cannot beat the price for the convenience. If you compare price with other Back Bay hotels, you'll find that the Hilton offers a great deal.
