Exactly What We Asked For
We requested a room with 2 double beds, and although the room was small, the beds were double and very comfortable. The pillows were abundant and in excellent condition, as was the bedding. The room was clean and had a fridge and coffee maker. We liked the fact that we could open the windows about 4 inches to get fresh air. There were screens on the windows.
The shower was good, lots of hot water, and lots of newer, fluffy, white towels. The room cost us exactly what we were quoted and was available for us when we arrived about 1030 am on a Wed. We have travelled a fair amount and have never been given our room this early. The location was excellent. We either walked everywhere or took the hop on, hop off trolley. Lots of good restaurants within a 5 minute walk. I would recommend Rebeccas Cafe for a quick, but good brreakfast, anything from a bagel to a full breakfast. Flemings was our favourite for dinner, excellent beef tenderloin, with options for a smaller appetite. Their blue cheese stuffed olives and blue cheese mashed potatoes were superb. The staff was amazing. The staff at Hotel 140 recommended both of these places to us and also suggested great shopping areas, helped us get a taxi to the airport and were most accomodating. I would definitely book here again if I return to Boston. The only reason we did not rate it excellent is because there was no dresser to put clothing in and where one would hang clothing, was used for the refrigerator and night table.
We just lived out of our suitcases and didnt worry about it. The bathroom also lacked room for toilettries.
