I'd stayed here before, back in July but had another early flight out of Boston and following my previous stay it was an easy choice for me!
We walked from Terminal B through Terminal A and over the bridge. We had a couple of suitcases and had no problems but for most I'm sure just dealing with the shuttle would be preferable. Checking in was easy and as a Hilton HHonors Gold I was given a nice room on the corner of the hotel looking over the city. The only problem is being the hotel is quite spread out and the ends of the hotel are a good couple of minutes walk from the elevators! You can't have everything though! After some confusion regarding access to the Executive Lounge we went to the room itself, nice and spacious, billed as a Deluxe Room it was quite a bit bigger than the room I'd previously had on the Executive Floor. The view was great too! Room had a flatscreen HDTV which made watching some late night TV a bit more pleasurable too.
We spent the rest of the evening itself in the Executive Lounge (open to all HH Golds & Diamonds plus Exec Floor folks regardless of booking method). We'd just missed the evening hors d'oeuvres but watched a couple of shows with some drinks, enjoying the views of the city. The staff came over to have a word with my wife and I and were very friendly, informing us of the weather tomorrow, inviting us to check-in for our flight using the computers etc etc. For those of you contemplating paying for an Exec Floor room do it! This is one of the best Exec Lounges in any Hilton I've come across. In terms of facilities it is comparable to a half decent airline lounge.
We slept very well, as I do with all Hilton beds and breakfast the following morning in the Exec Lounge was quitre sufficient to tie me over with an early bite to eat before getting breakfast on our flight. I'd say unless you aren't fussy about what you eat you'll struggle to get a decent breakfast on the top floor lounge and getting breakfast downstairs must be better. That said I've had early flights both times when staying here so can't comment on it.
Overall still one of my favourite hotels in the Hilton Family and excellent for an airport hotel. The staff seem very friendly, the rooms are great and the facilities decent.
