Pleasantly surprised
I've seen all the recent reviews and felt like I was taking a chance going here for a conference. (Location/price was excellent) However, I was actually greeted by a nice front desk clerk, went into a pleasing room and had a nice stay here. 
One problem was that the heat was on and Boston was suddenly in its summer temperatures so the room was boiling, but there was an AC unit in the room so it was okay. Will probably return.
