Resting on its laurels
What a place! The foyer would be breathtaking if the lights were bright enough to see by. The chandeliers are fantastic but look as though they need a good clean. The shops in the foyer are limited and poor quality, There is a distinct shortage of seating in the foyer approx 12 chairs.
The room was small and right above the main entrance [8th floor] so the view of Boston was very good but noisy from traffic especially police cars and ambulances.
However the bed although large, was hard and not very comfortable. The air conditioning system was noisy and not very efficient it could not be set below 64 degrees. 
The staff were very friendly and polite.
One got the impression the Hotel preferred to cater to the Conference guests and not the general traveller. Probably would try a different Hotel next time.
