modern and sleek= no frills and no amenities!
We stayed at the Ames on a Saturday night and were very disappointed with our stay. Upon check-in, no one greeted us at door or helped with our luggage. Our room was somewhat clean, modern, sleek, but appeared to have no frills or extras at all. I had to call the front dest for slippers, a bath robe, a shower cap, etc. We had turn down service and a bottle of water was placed next to the bed. Upon reading closely, it was an $8 bottle of water! I was shocked. I have stayed at much nicer hotels in the city where at turn down they include items such as complimentary water. The mini-bar was stocked but everything had an astronomical price attached. Wifi was $10/night. The worse part of our stay was the "party" room next door. They played loud music at 10pm. I complained to the front desk who said they would take care of it. They came back from the bars at 3 am and continued to have a party in their room! We could hear everything. I called security which came to the room twice to tell them to quiet down. On the last time, security asked them to leave. He spent 30 minutes in the hallway trying to rationalize with a group of drunk girls. It was terrible. I didn't sleep the entire night. At check-out, I complained and was offered $50 off my bill. I refused to pay- and finally the manager agreed. Beware- this hotel is a play ground for the bar hoppers and late night party goers on the weekend in Boston. May not be suitable for couples trying to relax and sleep!
