DoubleTree by Hilton Boston - Downtown – Boston

I feel like I paid waaaaay too much for 4 nights. The room was nice but my shower curtain smelled bad, I asked for a refrigerator that I never received, and the restaurant was very small with little variety. The guest shop was very small and did not have a lot to choose from. Only one vending machine on the floor and an ice machine but no ice bucket in the room to get ice.

Stayed. In Boston to see the local historic attractions.

Our room faced the hotel center courtyard.

In general, it is a very nice hotel although the room was a tad small. One problem, though, was that they gave us a handicap room and there was no tub or shower stall and taking showers was messy. They didn't tell us this before we checked in and by the time we were in, we were exhausted and decided not to ask to move. Also, there is no complimentary WiFi, which should be included these days, but still is not in many of the nicer hotels. Ridiculous. Cheap hotels include it, better hotels, don't. Also, we bought some items at the little store in the lobby and the desk clerk couldn't change a $20 nor would she take a credit card. She wanted to put it on our room but we had paid in advance to make a quick exit the next morning. And she was not really very nice about it. If you can't keep the registers open or take credit cards for the store, then you should close the store earlier, right?

That said, I liked the location on the cusp of chinatown ... and a few steps from the subway. It was also a 10min walk to Chinatown, where there was a lot of yummy food (esp dim sum). Boston itself is largely walkable, so we walked to most of the attractions. The hotel service was ok, quite ok. Room was decent, and quite comfortable. No complaints. Wifi is chargeable if you're not a hilton honours customer or did not book through their site. I had data on my phone so it wasn't a big issue. All in, I guess I would consider staying again if I'm ever in Boston.
