Don't think it was worth the extra for the gold floor
Have stayed in Boston numerous times and decided to try a different hotel because we wanted to be closer to an event. Having not stayed here before, I was unsure of the layout etc. When I booked the room, I booked in house in order to talk with the representative about the specifics of the rooms etc. I was trying to get the nicest experience for our one night. Upon arrival, was greeted warmly by front doorman who assisted me with my luggage to the reception desk. My initial impression of hotel was "how beautiful". Classic and grand. I was checked in quickly and was excited to get to the room. I had booked a gold level, interior room. The hallway to the room was a little warn. Once we got to the room, I was not that impressed. I was told that the interior rooms look over a courtyard. Well, that courtyard consisted of building walls and rooftops of buildings. The rooms was spacious and appeared to be clean and set up nicely. The bathroom was well lit. When I made my way to the "lounge", I was very disappointed. I thought maybe I was n the wrong place actually. The chairs looked comfy. It was like a formal sitting room more then a lounge. I saw a small tray of some sort of appetizer looking item when I walked in (there was 3 on the tray) and that was all the food I saw (it was 8:00 p.m.). I hunted around every corner looking for the wine/beer. I finally ended up in a kitchen that had some random bottles of alcohol and wine/beer on the counter. I also notice a small plaque that listed the procedure for the honor bar that I was facing. Honor bar??? Isn't that why you spend the extra $100 for the room so you can have complimentary wine/beer???? If it was premium items, I could more understand. But for your basic wine/beer....I was a little perplexed.
To be honest, I didn't revisit the lounge the next morning as I thought a visit to Dunkin Donuts would be more to my liking. Overall, the hotel was in a GREAT location. The front door staff was very helpful. For a one niter , maybe they put us in the least desirable spot. Who knows.
