Pros:

Great location, quality, view.
Coffee (free) bar in lobby, basically as good as if there was an in-room coffee Nespresso machine. However, Nespresso is the global standard in this leaque.

Cons:

Consistent (light) bad sewer-line smell in lobby
Way to cold breakfast room (adjustments take 1h to circulate)

We had a nice visit in Boston and will definitely be back!
Pros:

We liked just about everything!

Cons:

The View..... We have stayed there three times and the views are lacking... We had an office building right across from our room on the 16th floor and then a view of a tree. No city views even in the corner room.... With that being said we didn't spend a lot of time in our room anyway --the views were around town.....

Great but will not drink at Alibi
Pros:

Room lovely, beds very comfortable, Plenty of space to meet up with people; Front desk welcoming and helpful. Very clean. Food outside of clink very good as were the drinks

Cons:

I was very disappointed in my drink at Alibi- a lemon drop is a fairly standard drink and is was not good. I know I could have asked for it to be made again but didn't want to be disappointed a second time. Also, hours for a big city for spaces to close so early(10pm??) is really unusual.

Por el precio y la reputación del hotel, esperábamos una experiencia bastante mejor.
Pros:

La ubicación era muy buena.

Cons:

Vinimos con mi madre durante la maratón de Boston y, aunque ya sabíamos que los precios serían altos, esperábamos mucho más por lo que pagamos. Las habitaciones estaban bien, pero no tenían nada destacable. El hotel es enorme, aunque da la sensación de que le falta mantenimiento en varios aspectos.

El restaurante también nos decepcionó: el personal era amable, pero mi pizza llegó tarde, quemada y con exceso de aceite, y tuvieron que volver a prepararla. Además, aunque los precios eran muy elevados y el lugar aparentaba ser de alto nivel, había detalles de limpieza y organización que dejaban bastante que desear.

También pedimos un late check-out para que mi madre pudiera ducharse y descansar después de terminar la maratón, algo que nos habían permitido en otros hoteles, pero aquí nos dijeron que no era posible. Y eso nos sorprendió todavía más porque, al llegar de la maratón, el hotel había organizado música, DJ, photocall y personal felicitando a los corredores. El ambiente estaba bien, pero sinceramente creemos que, en lugar de invertir tanto en eso, habría sido mucho más útil ofrecer algunas duchas o cierta flexibilidad con los late check-outs para los participantes.

En general, por el precio y la reputación del hotel, esperábamos una experiencia bastante mejor.

Slechte service voor een duur hotel
Pros:

De locatie

Cons:

Je krijgt geen waar voor je geld. De kamers zijn ok, maar de faciliteiten slecht. Je kan niet eens een kop koffie zetten op je kamer en voor een beetje water betaald je 10 dollar. Koffie kan je beneden halen maar alleen in de ochtend. In de bar is het personeel niet correct gekleed en het ontbijt wordt gewoon uitbesteed aan een restaurant dat in het hotel zit. Je betaald daar heel veel voor een vies ontbijt. Het hotel lijkt erg mooi maar je kamer zit gewoon in een lelijk gebouw dat achter de oude gevangenis is gebouwd. Er kan geen raam open en de schoonmaak komt pas aan het einde van de dag. Wij zijn elke dag buiten het hotel gaan ontbijten.
