Service and location were good.

Cons:

There was damage to the refrigerator door when we got into the room. I never said anything about it, but I should have. approximately 10 days later there was a $30 dollar charge to my card. I reached out to them but never heard back.

Had a great time in Boston. Love the city. Was not with world cup crowd just came up to visit friends and relatives.
Pros:

Good location

Cons:

Room 535 was tight fit when sofa bed was in use. Door to bedroom was nicked because of it. The sofa bed had tears in it. The blinds in bedroom were torn on the edges. Paint coming off in the bathroom. For the price charged for the room these things should not be there.

Pros:

Check in was smooth. Room was good.

Cons:

Didn't get 1 Hr late check out when requested due to flight delay. This was something we feel they could have easily accommodated in such a large hotel which was showing vacancy in our room type for today.
