Friendly and helpful staff, but paper thin walls and noisy"
We stayed here for a Convention. We had a very large and comfortable corner room, which was nice. The amenities were good - a refrigerator, desk, free wi-fi in the room, coffee maker, nice bathroom. The location is excellent - I easily walked to the Park station of the T and got to where I wanted to go on my own. Housekeeping, with whom I needed to negotiate the time for cleaning our room twice, were very friendly, but mostly did not speak much English. They did a very nice job cleaning when they were there. The TV was "old school" - a standard size square, non HD set that seemed ancient and barely watchable compared to today's standards - even a small wide screen/flat screen would have been appreciated. All of this would have been OK if it wasn't for the paper thin walls - I heard every word that was spoken in the room next door to us and even from the room across the hall!! The first night and day I spent a lot of time listening to an old Western movie with lots of gunshots and Indian war calls - it sounded overwhelmingly loud, as if I had it on very loud inside my room. Very annoying!! Luckily since we were in a corner, there wasn't much traffic outside our door, and when sleeping it was quiet, but it was very unpleasant feeling like we were in one big common room (sound wise) with the rooms around us - certainly no privacy audibly! There are plenty of hotels in Boston and I would not choose to stay here again.
