If I could rate this hotel less than 1 star I would.

I was forced to come here for a conference. The rooms are tiny and dated. The air conditioner in my room hardly worked and I couldn't get it to turn colder.

They charged $12 each day for wifi, but it went down, every day. It wasn't until I saw a guy in a Comcast shirt in the elevator that it came back up. I was also charged a long distance fee to call their IT help desk regarding the wifi - where I spoke to Peggy from the credit card commercials. FYI - I work in IT, it was a problem on their end, not mine.

Speaking of elevators - they have 6, but only 2 seem to be running. If you are running late for something good luck.

The bathtub MOVED every time I stepped into it. The paint on the ceiling in the bathroom was peeling. The carpet was coming up in my room.

The rooms do not have fridges or microwaves. They give you a keurig and 2 coffees, but mine was buried back behind my tv and tough to get to.

I left to go out to the conference the one day and let my door close behind me. When i got back I noticed my door was slightly open - be sure to pull your door closed if you are forced to stay here. Luckily nothing was stolen in my room.

I walked about a block to get lunch the one day to bring to my room and eat. I had forgotten to ask the sandwich shop for a fork. When I got to the hotel I asked the front desk for some silverware - they said they didn't have any at the front desk but they could send it up to my room. I waited about 20 minutes as my food got cold (remember, no microwave). Went out to the hallway and found one of the cleaners and asked if they had any - they didn't. They called the front desk via walkey talkey - front desk said "we don't have any, you have to call room service". The cleaner said "I'm not in front of a phone, can you call room service and send it to the room?" The person on the other end said "sure, but let the person know there is a charge to send silverware to their room." ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I patiently waited for the elevator again and went back down 10 floors to get my own silverware.

The conference was held in a big ballroom, that was very antique. It looked like it was beautiful when it was built - which is likely the last time it was cleaned! The chandeliers looked like they were falling apart, and could see the cobwebs on them from 50 feet away.

The continental breakfast was lacking and unorganized. We had a fire drill the one day during our conference (great planning guys!).

Despite the great location, I would highly suggest you find another hotel if you are looking to come to Boston.
