Major Disappointment...
Although the front desk and housekeeping service was perfect, there were so many other problems that will assure that we will not be back.
We chose The Doubletree because it seemed to be convenient enough to the BU campus. It's not.
That, however, wasn't the problem. 
The rooms are 2 room suites, extremely spacious but the front room is adjacent to the corridor that is open to the lobby
The hotel is built around an interior atrium overlooking the lobby,ballroom entrances and lounge.
 Because we were so tired, we had decided to have dinner in the hotel. The front desk recommended the Fusion lounge. Each booth has a TV set, which is an interesting touch for a "sports bar". We waited a short while for a table and were seated at a booth where the TV did not work. We were only told that after we played around with TV for a while and asked. We asked for some bread- it took 25 minutes. We ordered dinner- that took over 30 minutes for a chicken sandwich, grilled portobello mushroom and baked chicken. When we ordered, We told the waitress that we were very hungry and she assured us that the baked chicken would not hold up our order. After asking several times as to the status of our dinner it finally arriver- the chicken sandwich was supposed to be on marble rye (according to the menu)- it was on white bread, we asked for honey mustard on the side- that wasn't there and it took 10 minutes to be brought dijon, not honey mustard. The grilled portobello mushroom was ice cold- as was the mashed potatoes and veggie sides that came with the tasty chicken. at least part of the dinner was edible. The service was as bad as the food. 
 As a result of the atrium setup, the noise level permeates into the front room of our suite, where our daughter was trying to sleep after a very long day moving her stuff into her dorm room. The noise continued until well after 1 AM. we called to see what time the bar closed, and although we were told 11 PM, the noise from the cleanup was as loud as the noise from the bar itself, and a party in the ballroom continued much later and then carried out to the lobby.
The view from our room was lovely- overlooking the Charles. the beds were very comfortable.
Breakfast the next morning was only slightly better than dinner the night before.
The garage is small and difficult to park in - its very narrow and has blind turns on each level.
we will be in Boston often our the next 4 years and will never even consider returning to the Doubletree.
