Great location, ok hotel
I stayed here while taking my 16 year old to see colleges. I Pricelined, got room for $180, and, for Boston, got what I paid for. Location is fabulous. Tons of great restaurants, many in walking distance, public transport right there, as is entrance to Mass Pike. It is typical old, huge Boston hotel, decor was nice, clean rooms on small side (esp bathrooms). Staff helpful and friendly. Cons: they are remodeling and the banging started around 7 am. 1/2 hr free Wi Fi in lobby only. I didn't give this a thought as I have 3G on my phone however, after a day of driving and two campus tours, when we got back to the room and my son learned his iPad had no internet connection, it wasn't pretty. My bad.
