Review of Boston park plaza Hotel

Location was fantastic, super accessible from Green line as it's a short block from the Arlington stop. Being right near the Common is pretty great as well, although don't expect to have any great views from your room. I had stayed in a Deluxe King. The bed was soft and comfortable, but it took up a majority of the space in the room. The room itself looked fairly luxurious - except the crown molding that was only on half of the ceiling for some reason and once I noticed it I couldn't stop looking up at how awkward it was. The bathroom felt like it was ripped straight out of the Y from the 90s, though. Half inch off white tile covering the whole floor, with a small rubber strip serving as a border between the shower floor and the rest of the bathroom floor. The water pressure absolutely left something to be desired. We were also able to hear sounds from the rooms adjacent to us very clearly, which made us feel uncomfortable within our own room. The staff were friendly and accommodating for the services we used, which were checking bags when we arrived in Boston (we were there early in the morning and the room was understandably not ready yet) and after checking out but before we left, as well as interacting with the desk staff for check in and check out, and receiving a breakfast location recommendation from the concierge (who recommended The Paramount - which I wholeheartedly agree with). Overall the stay was not bad. It ultimately served its purpose of a place to leave our things and sleep during our weekend, but it left a lot to be desired. I do not think I would plan on staying there again in the future, as the only strong positive (location/ease of getting to) isn't really a scarcity based on the expansive coverage of the T throughout the city.
