Extremely Noisy
I stayed at the Boston Harbor a few weeks ago, as a colleague booked it first and I choose to stay near him rather than book at a separate hotel. My first room was so loud that it seemed like the elevator control room was in my hotel room. There were constant sounds of people talking in the corridors, and even a dog barking away around 1 or 2am. I got about 3 hours of sleep that night. I got moved to the 'quieter' tower. I was taking a conference call from the room around 3pm and could literally hear the jangling keys and rustling of a garbage bag by one of the housekeepers walking by. I then checked out and moved next door to the Intercontinental. I would never re-book at this hotel until they figure out some sound attenuation. It's sad, because it is classic Boston with beautiful views and good restaurants, and a stellar location. I have stayed at the Liberty, Intercontinental, Ritz, Beacon XV and W and have not had any sound issues to this extent, and I have spent roughly 25 nights in hotel rooms in Boston over the last 8 months.
